Complaint / Review
Direct TV
Over charge, fraud!

I recently delivered from another implementation to Iraq using the Marine Corps. After I returned home my spouse and that I desired to connect one extra satellite radio within our room. Before spring of 2007 we've usually just had just one recipient within our family room. Just before this installment, I named Direct TV to determine what must be completed to set up one more recipient. I had been informed in those days that there is no extra cost; I really could connect as much as I needed to. I visited an area Bestbuy store and bought a brand new satellite radio offtheshelf. There is no agreement closed, no extra paperwork or agreement directed at me in the check-out in relation to buying this recipient. The one thing the child in the register attempted to complete was get us to register for many "free journal subscribers" that will truly be billed to some charge card. This recipient was taken care of with money and that I obtained merely a paid bill using the purchase, no additional paperwork, agreement or spoken warnings about this being "rented equipment".

After I called Direct TV to trigger the brand new recipient, the helper explained that people currently had two productive devices from their organization. I told him that people have usually just had just one recipient, the present one was again changed in Aug. Or 2006 after I was house on leave before implementing to Iraq and also the satellite receiver was knocked-out from the lightning hit.in those days we visited an area store and bought an upgraded radio offtheshelf. Just like this newest period, there is no agreement closed, no extra paperwork directed at us or any indicator the gear that people bought was to get a rent. It had been taken care of in the register and we obtained a paid bill only.

After confirming the sequential number about the only functional recipient within our home, it had been decided that Primary TV hadn't eliminated the formerly broken gear from our consideration. The company representative. Stated that easily examined our statement it will display that people were being billed to get a rented recipient. Once the statement was examined, it actually did display a fee for a rented recipient. After I named Direct TV to challenge this cost I had been informed that I ought to have examined the statement also it was my obligation to boost the problem this past year in Aug. Once the mistake was created. I told the client support consultant that I had been in Iraq involved with combat operations until lately which used to do not obtain any bills there or did I've any indicator there is an issue till I returned home and again started coping with expenses. My spouse have been spending our expenses in my own lack. The consultant stated that it had been my spouseis problem if we were overcharged which organization plan was not to do something about this if it had been more than 60 days old. I had been informed that about the statement a cost was mentioned as rented equipment however it was merely a cost for having one more radio connected, not that I'd hired the gear. Subsequently to include insult to damage, they desired to send me to a different consultant to obtain us to increase our support and spend much more cash on some promotional bundle.

Following A day or two I again named Direct TV looking to get the problem to be over-charged to get a recipient which was not functional looked after and that I obtained exactly the same insufficient comprehension as before and again had somebody sell us another thing.

A few times later, I again named the organization looking to get this problem looked after and obtained exactly the same tale that it had been our problem for not getting it faster and Direct TV wouldn't return any overcharge.in those days I informed the consultant I needed to remove our support instantly. Again the consultant attempted to market mean extra support bundle easily did not remove. I had been ultimately used in an older guy called Steve who stated he'd assist me remove the support. He desired to understand why we were disappointed and that I described everything to him again. He was the very first individual in the organization to express something might be done concerning the overcharge after everyone mentioned nothing might be completed. He did claim he believed it had been his businesses problem for that overcharge and stated he'd have our statement modified to exhibit a return. If anybody at Direct TV might have proven a pursuit in working with us formerly, the problem might have been resolved at this time. Then John also attempted to market us an improved support bundle. I told him the very last thing I had been thinking about was spending more income after I was attempting to recover an overcharge.

A week ago we obtained two vacant containers from Fedex with return handles towards the organization. A few times later we obtained a registered communication From Their Store detailing that people were to come back rented equipment to Direct TV. I named Them to describe again that people don't have any rented equipment, that equipment we get continues to be bought in a store. I had been used in 3 distinct individuals who each stated simply the same task. All-they state is the fact that the gear is rented which I've a-one year service connection with Strong TV simply because I applied the support. Among the customer support reps went as far as to express I had beennot informing the reality after I stated I never obtained any extra paperwork, agreements or warnings after I bought the gear. The following guy I had been used in stated he'd link me using the division that will take away the 12 months support agreement from my consideration so when I talked together they stated they understood nothing about this.

It appears each time I've some connection with Strong TV, I obtain some previously undisclosed details about some cost to begin with or another that's not described by other people but I am designed to learn about it since it’s in my own agreement.

A Lot Of their reps have provided incorrect and sometimes inconsistent info that has irritated this problem. Lately we obtained a phone from 2 more reps., one fundamentally after about 45 units of stating we owed all of the prior costs and attempting to sell us extra support deals revealed that she'd no expert to cope with our challenge, that her only objective in calling was to obtain us to carry on our support with Strong TV which she'd no expert to cope with conflicts. The final week of September another company representative. Calls the home underneath the veil of coping with our challenge simply to discover that she also offers no expert to cope with it and really never actually examine my pervious characters for their organization. She did state that the costs have elevated today to almost $200 and they might deliver it to selections.

Direct TV continues to try to market improved support deals, not offer at-all using the criticism problems and also have people contact people without any expert or understanding of our grievances. However they usually finish the discussion having a large cheers for selecting Direct TV. We believe they're being actively misleading, slowing and making people without any option but to find appropriate action.
