Criticism Explanation - Posted 4/9 11:28: 18 AM
My wife and I have disputed a claim in the amount of $311.35 from day one and explained to Dthat IRECTV that they did not provide the level of customer service they had guaranteed. On four (4) individual event during Sept. Of we requested DIRECTV to maneuver a satellite dish off our terrace to some more desirable area (support were only available in late Aug.). Every time over a period of time of a month, DIRECTV advised us that the support specialist could be at our home to maneuver the meal but a specialist never turned up with no one from DIRECTV named us to reschedule. Actually, about the next phone, we described our disappointment for their CSR and informed her when no body turned up about the evening THEY planned, we'd stop service. She assured us that the specialist would certainly be out to the home on 9/24 to maneuver the meal. Again, no specialist with no telephone call to let's understand (or to reschedule, which may have now been good had SOMEBODY from DIRECTV named people). Therefore, we terminated support after 30 days. Whenever we obtained a notice of the termination charge, a notice was delivered to clarify why we weren't likely to spend it. They recognized our criticism, but stated that we closed an arrangement and were bound because of it. We stated that we'd not pay a cent where stage they approached three diverse debt collectors within the amount of 1 5 years within an try to gather a debt that they understood we'd not spend. One documented this challenge to some credit agency.
Complaint Summary

Consumer’s Rebuttal – Published 04/24
Re: "We agreed to plan the meal move for you personally at a price of $49; nevertheless, the present was rejected?" Are you kidding me? We'd have happily settled it'd it been provided AND had a specialist REALLY emerge to maneuver it, but it was not provided or was there any reference to it about the 3 additional calls we created. Why might Direct TV reveal they could be out to maneuver it on 4 distinct events after which abandon us at nighttime? About the 4th phone, we informed your CSR when it had beennot transferred, we'd stop, so when no body turned up OR NAMED, we ended (a $100 cr. Was of little attention to us at that time). Re: "Your regional office experimented with contact you by telephone relating to your visit your telephone number wouldn't take incoming calls". Seriously today! Acknowledge that no body experimented with contact us to reschedule, that will be what we were upset about. Had they completed thus, we'dnot be having these disussions. What today angers us probably the most may be the proven fact that two - not just one, but TWO - debt collectors, Nationwide and Allied Highway, have published undesirable background. Not believe one statement was enough? We shall contact the Iowa State Attorney General to determine what option we've.
