Complaint Review: Echostar Communications DBA Dish Network

This past weekend after just making a deposit I received two notices of NSF.

Upon examining the NSF's I realized the amount paid was $2.oo So I looked at the second notice and it too said $2.oo. This confused me because we generall don't use the ATM often, and not for $2.00 anyway.

I looked back at my bank statement and I had a larger balance than $4.oo, so I wondered what other amount was on there. Since I have been out of checks, and we have pretty much been out of money since Oct. when my husband lost his job.

Yesterday, I got online to check my bank statement and noticed a lot more $2.00 charges and a $14.00 charge, so on. They all said "One time/Dish Network".

I called my bank and they said these charges had been from my bank mastercard. Not Possible. Then also to find out there were two more debits posting for $79.00 each.

I called Dish Network and spoke with someone in the Executive Office to be told, "This was perfectly legal, and it was on my contract" I asked to be faxed a copy of this. Did I ever get the fax??? No.

I got online to see what Dish Network offered as far as Customer Service, etc. I did not sign up for Auto Check Pay, or Credit Card Pay. In fact this was the first time I logged on to their site.

Now, I am stuck with several overdraft fees, and am extensively overdrawn. I missed 2 Dr. appointments due to this. And I was diagnosed with RSD in Oct. I have been waiting this long because of money and insurance to start therapy and more diagnostics. This is an incurable, and progressive disease.

I am sure my bank is responsible, this is the same as forgery. I worked in banking for quite some time. But I have to go sign an affidavit, and start the battle of recovering my money.

I have a lot more info. on this company just by reading the "residential contract" info. There is nothing legal about what they are doing. And I intend to see them give some type of retribution to me and others they are doing this too.

Thank you for your attention
