Dish Network
Lost Return Box Led to Collections and Damaged Credit

Dish Network is ruining my credit! Dish Network Review Beware! Dish Network will rip you off and ruin your credit! Don't risk it, sign up for service with someone else. After 4 or 5 years of service I moved and decided to cancel my service. I paid my bill in full. They sent me a pre-paid box to return the dishnetwork cable box. I put the cable box in the return box and dropped it off at a nearby Fed EX / UPS pick up station, and that is how this story should have ended. Instead that is where my Dish Network nightmare began! Maybe a month or two after mailing the cable box, I got a call saying they had never received it and they wanted over $400 dollars. I politely told the dish network agent thatI had mailed the box and they need to double check the warehouse and look for it or call the package delivery service and sort it out with them because I no longer have the box. I said to the lady: (Why would I want an old Dish Network cable box if I don't have Dish Network anymore!) I now have Comcast and they have all their own equipment. It's not my fault if Dish Network lost my returned cable box, I did everything I was supposed to do, I sent it back to them! After my last conversation with Dish Network I didn't hear anything back from them until I heard from a collection agency demanding payment. This is the only collection on my credit report but now because of Dish Network I am spending thousands ofextra dollars on higher interest rates, I am also looking into buying a home and I don't qualify for some programs because of Dish Network! Even if I paid this bill I don't owe, this collection will showpaid and still be on my credit report for 7 more years! That means Dish Network will be ruining my credit for a total of more than 11 years! At this point I would even be willing to pay the $400, but I would want it off my credit report! I'm not sure what do now, make a complaint to FTC, BBB, Attorney General, call my local news station and get the rip off reporter to do a story on it, start awebsite dedicated to Dish Network Complaints, complain on every review site onthe internet? If anybody can help me or give me some advice I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Beware! Dish Network will rip you off and ruin your credit! Don't risk it, sign up for service with someone else.
