We were charged an early termination fee -- although we never signed a contract. DirecTV said we were told verbablly. I had to pay 168 so it would not appear on my credit report. We terminated our service because the picture quality is very poor and was could not get high speed internet with the service. The service was terminated in SeptOct 2007. I ended up paying after several letters to the company and they threatened us with 'credit report'.
They will hassle you about what you should do. Ask them to come remove the satellite dish from our property. DirecTV will not do it -- says it is free advertising. There should be someone way to make them remove the dish. In the meantime, I wrote THEY SUCK in big black letters -- free advertising.
Well, low and below, i received another bill from them for 16 -- when I called they stated that someone in our house order an adult movie back in July 2007. Well, they can send my name to the credit bureau, ruin my credit and haul me off to jail before I pay them another cent.
