Complaint Review: The Dish Professionals

This company has representatives going door to door representing Dish Network and Direct TV.  It seems that if you have one or the other they will try to switch you and commit you to a 2 year contract.  My elderly father has had Dish Network for several years and they tried to switch him to Direct TV.  They are not up front with exactly what they are signing unsuspecting customers up for.  He signed a contract with the promise they would save him money.  They arranged for an installer to hook it up the next day even though he had 3 days to change his mind and cancel.  

When I went to my father's house he showed me the contract.  There was no information on it as far as price was concerned.  He wasn't given time to read the small print.  He cancelled the installation, made a report to the Better Business Bureau, and cancelled his credit card so they couldn't charge anything to it.  These people cannot be trusted.  

When I called the 800 number they told me it was a limited term contract and would increase after 2 years to $69.00.  The small print said it would increase $15.00 the first year plus $4.00 a month in taxes.  What they were offering did not amount to any savings, but an increase in what he was currently paying.
