Complaint Review: Dish Network - Echostar

In November 2009 Dish Network allowed an individual posing as me, to call in from a different phone number and have another person's account activated using my bank account information. They charged me over $70.00 and refused to rectify the situation. I had to go to my bank and have my checking account cancelled, have a new account opened and have the money replaced through FDIC. Dish Network did not refund the money and they have refused to cooperate with the police in any efforts to prosecute the perpetrator of this fraud. In contacting them numerous times, they have informed me that I am not entitled to the information on my own account with a court order and in the same call denied any fraudulent activity had taken place.

I have cancelled my service with them and would recommend that anyone NOT do business with them.
