Hello let me begin by saying i am very upset with this company Direct TV first of all my landlord sold the house i was renting and i had to move where i moved they dont allow satalite so i told direct tv i can no longer have them they were very persistent for me to ask my landlord now and tell them i have rights to let me keep direct tv i said i was affraid it was gonna cause problems with me just moveing in so they said i have a early termination fee which they never told me about cause i had a bundle with verizon so they are chargeing me $260.00 i was gonna deal with that amount ,But what toped it all off was when they said we want all the equipment back and i said but why if i payied $221.00 for it they said they were giveing me $5.00 back a month on my bill so i have to send the equipment back or they charge me $400.00 and something dollars they said.So i am gonna send it back i dont want my credit ruined but i think they are completly unfair and a ripoff for takeing my money and not giveing it back when they get there equipment back please help me get my money back

Dear fellow consumer,
DirecTV took $400 from my elderly mom for same reason. I got no satisfaction after filing claims with FTC, Nat'l BBB, and Ca Dept of Consumer Affairs. So I filed complaint with Ca Attorney General and received refund of $400. You might contact your state Attorney General too.

There is a website called The Consumerist. On the site they tell you how to get action on your complaint by delivering an EECB. That stands for Executive E-mail Carpet Bomb. Essentially, you state your problem in a reasonable manner then e-mail it to the top people at the company (CEO, CFO, whoever). You can find out who these individuals are by going to the company website. I hope this helps in some small way. If what I said didn't make sense, again, check out TheConsumerist.com

I have no clue what your report says. Please learn to spell then come back and update your report. FYI when you sign up with Directv you sign a contract and that contract states an early termination fee.
NO I do not work for Directv but have had it for 7+ years and I knew when I signed up there was an early termination fee.
