DirecTV used my debit card in Sept. to take money from my bank account! I canceled my DirecTV service back in June, but today I received an overdraft notice from my bank that DirecTV had taken a payment of over $250! When I called DirecTV, they told me I still owed them the balance due on my contract and that since I owed the money, they had every right to "take" the money. When I asked them how they got my debit card number, I was told that since I had used it to make a payment by phone in Jan., they had my bank number in my records and that gave them the right to take the payment.
1) My account was paid in full with a zero balance in June when I sent my receiver back! 2) It is now Sept. and I never got a bill after the last payment was made in June.
3) This is stealing, plain and simple! I did not authorize them to use this card.
By doing this without my authorization, they caused my account to be overdrawn and 2 other checks to bounce, causing me to pay charges of $64 in NSF fees to the bank, a $25 fee to one of the stores that I wrote a check to, and a $35 fee to the other store!
Now DirecTV tells me I still owe them another $150 for a service fee, for when a man came out last Feb. when I had a problem with the dish. Since I still had 2 months left on my "contract" when I canceled in June, I now owe them for a service call. If I had kept the service on until Aug., I would not have had to pay this "service call" fee!
DirecTV stole my money! Can you charge a company as big as DirecTV with theft? Who goes to jail for taking this money?
And if I do go to court, who do you charge? The company or the person who actually used this debit card to make the fake payment?
