DIRECTV, the fine print rip-off. Has anyone ever read all the fine print in a contract or bill? Better start, because companies such as DIRECTV are hiding things in them that can cost you money! The main one should be deemed illegal & never allowed by any company.
When I became unemployed, I called & cancelled my account with DIRECTV, told them that when I started back to work or received my unemployment checks, I would call & set-up a payment plan. A couple weeks later, I went to a store to make a purchase & found NSF (Non sufficent funds) first I called my bank. Next I called DIRECTV, this is when they imformed me about the small print!
Being unemployed in a small rural town means limited job availability. We (my wife & I) had limited funds in our account & planned it to survive until I was back to work or our first unemployment check arrived! Then to discover that they (DIRECTV) auto-deducted everything from our account, leaving us $2.42!!
During my conversation with DIRECTV they said they can do NOTHING & I had to contact my bank. So, next I returned another call to my bank where we have to file a dispute. The dispute will take up to 10 days to complete. So, people beware this company, I do not believe that this could be allowed to be legal!
DIRECTV has poor reception & was never as good as the Cable TV I use to have! When weather got bad & we needed the weather channel, the connection went out on multiple occasions.
Our government should pass a law making this an illegal way of business & anyone that has had this happen to them should all get together & file a suite against them! Come on Washington, wake-up & help the little guy!!
