Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

I have been with DISH for a year or so, and have NEVER been late with my bill.

Unfortunatley, had a family emergency and had to fly out of town. I get a call from my wife, then my 2 sons are crying that the TV is shut off. I have no CC on me or anything except cash when I travel. I get on live chat and ask for them to turn my services on until monday when I get home and they cannot.....

 If you NEVER miss a payment then how exactly is your PRE PAID service turned off? SOunds like you DID miss a payment and are just acting like a child. Perhaps you should just pay what you owe. Trying to place the blame on THEM because YOU did not pay your bill only shows YOU to be a immature dipwad with no real redeeming qualities. What it also tells everyone is that YOU leave your family in a lurch with no way to resolve these issues.

How is this a Ripoff?  You are being unreasonable.  Glad you mentioned your kids were "crying".. should help get more sympathy.

Nope, I don't work for them.
