Sirius Satellite Radio Refusal to transfer subscription to new receiver New York New York
I purchased a 2009 Dodge Charger in April of this year. It came with 1 year free Sirius satellite radio service. I upgraded to a higher quality satellite receiver and called sirius to transfer my service. I was told that prepaid subscriptions were not eligible for transfer. My choices were to do without the service, buy a new subscription for my new receiver, or reinstall the factory reciever. When I asked the representative to show me where in the terms of service that was stated, they were unable to do so and eventually hung up on me.
This refusal to transfer my subscription is a direct violation of the terms and conditions posted on their website. I have cut/pasted the section regarding subscription transfers below. My subscription is NOT a lifetime subscription.
