DirecTV
Showtime Add-On Extended Contract, Cancellation Fee After Moving

Shops, Products, Services

Direct TV is a scam. The company should be put out of business or reported to the FCC. I was a customer for almost 2 years. The black outs were constant and lasted for hours at a time, yet they would not give meany credit back for lack of service. I was told to call the installers to have them come out and fix the problem, yet everyone time it rained, or we had heavy winds, the reception would be lost again. I called about 10 months into my contract to ask for Showtime. They gave me Showtime but neglected to tell me that if you had any services (even though I was going to pay higher for more services), they extend you contract! When it was time for me to move to another state where they did not offer direct tv, I was told that I owed them a $120.00 cancellation fee. This was the first I heard they had extended my contract. I explained to them that the place I was moving to did not have direct tv, it made absolutely no difference to them. I have refused to pay the cancellation fee, and have since been put into collections and am receiving all kinds of threats that they would report my lack of paying to the Credit Bureau, I have never had a problem with paying my bills but this takes the case. Stay away from Direct TV!!! They are thieves.
