In August I decided to order cable television. The first question asked is your social security number. I am reluctant to give that information and asked if I could do something else than give out my number. I was told that they (Direct T V) could charge a credit card $300.00 (Three hundred} and if at the end of one year, if all payments had been timely they would credit my bill by $10.00 a month.
After having the service for 6 months I decided it was not worth the money and cancelled the cable. I was told I would be charged for the six months left on my contract. My credit card was charged an addition $68.00
I have called on several occasions and been given different reasons why they won't return the deposit.
