      Additional bill. I called on June ****** to cancel service. *** said it was on 6/17/25. I called the June 6 when they collected payment and increased my service. I requested that service to stop that day June 7th. I also requested how to return the equipment. I spoke with another *** today June 26, ******************************************************************* their record June 17th. The reason I called on June 6 was the date of increase. Now they are billing for another cycle. Not listening to why I wanted to resolve this error on their behalf. Plus charges are higher than market rates for cable services.

      Business Response

      Date: 06/27/2025

      The DIRECTV Office of the President reviewed the notice received from the Better Business Bureau and confirmed the account balance is valid. Call records confirm the consumer requested cancellation on 06/17, after the start of a new billing cycle. Therefore, per the DIRECTV Residential Terms of Service, cancellation will occur on their billing cycle end date of 07/13 and partial month adjustments will not apply. This was explained to the consumer during the call, and our records reflect there was no prior disconnect request.

      DIRECTV reached out to the consumer following receipt of their Better Business Bureau inquiry. We spoke with the consumer who stated their account was not disconnected in October 2024 as requested. We confirmed the DIRECTV account was disconnected on June 30, 2025. In recognition of their valued loyalty, we applied a credit that cleared the outstanding balance.

      DIRECTV spoke with the consumer regarding a notice received from the Better Business Bureau. We found the consumer was not informed of the agreement when his account was reactivated after accepting a promotional offer. We agreed to credit the balance on the account,which included the Early Termination Fee due to non-disclosure of the agreement.

      We received a return call from the consumer, made additional contact attempts, and sent an email requesting to schedule a time for us to call them. To date, no further response was received.

      We started service with DirectTV in 2012. We canceled the service a few years later and returned the equipment. Out of the blue, last month I received an invoice (addressed to my recently deceased husband). I spoke to a customer service agent who was helpful, said he saw the issue, and assured me he corrected it. Only I received another invoice a month later. I called again, spoke to a very rude agent who said I had the service (refused to hear otherwise or investigate further), but he would cancel it. I would receive a final invoice and be charged for any equipment I did not return, even after telling him I had no equipment as I had not had the service for ~10 yrs. Later in the day, I spoke to a supervisor who confirmed I did have the service, even though I communicated again that we have not had any service through DirectTV for ~10 years as we had moved back to Xfinity. I asked him to tell me the invoice/payment history (to demonstrate I have not had this service), and he could only see the two recent invoices. He directed me to complete a report at *************************************************************************. The problem with the notmyaccount page is that its assuming identity theft, requiring among other things a police report. I dont think this is a case of identity theft and thus cannot in good conscience fill out a police report. I suspect at best its an issue with DirectTVs system, and at worse, its fraud committed by DirectTV. I will not be paying any invoices for a service we haven't had for a decade, but I also don't want my credit impacted either. I searched bank and credit card records and could not find anything for DirectTV going back several years. I want their system correct so I do not have this outstanding invoice and so this does not happen to anyone else. (From an online search, it does sound like this has happened to others.) [I listed the *** on the latest invoice below. It will be more because I have no equipment to return, so they're likely to charge me for that.]

      We cancelled out DirecTV service that we have had for over 11 years in October, 2024 because we were finally able to get fiber. A few months latter we started getting bills for $179.99. I interogated the reason for this charge and NO ONE could explain what it is other than early cancellation. One CS **** said it was due to a piece of equipment we got a year before therefore it supposedly renewed the contract. It was a replacement for a defective receiver. We had the free maintenance option and that should have been covered by that. Another CS **** today said that the DirecTV contract renews every two years. They finally sent a copy of a "Work Order" but it does not explain anything. It also had a fictious signature on it.I just want this resolved - it has consumed hours of time and at 80 years old I get tired of this runaround.

      I am filing this complaint regarding my DirecTV contract. When I signed up for internet service, I was offered a DirecTV package as a way to waive the internet security deposit. However, I was not informed of any long-term commitment or a contract lasting until 2027. There was no clear disclosure about a two-year or longer-term ************* I am being charged a $380 early termination fee, which I find unfair, as I would not have accepted the offer had I known about such a long-term obligation.This appears to be a case of lack of transparency, and I am respectfully requesting both the waiver of the cancellation fee and the termination of my contract without penalty.

      Date: 06/27/2025

      The DIRECTV Office of the President communicated with the consumer regarding a notice received from the Better Business Bureau. For any possible misunderstanding at the point of sale, DIRECTV offered to credit fifty percent of the cancellation fee should the consumer choose to proceed with cancellation. The account is temporarily suspended until September 15, 2025, and the consumer was provided with our contact information for any additional assistance.

      Yesterday I received an email notice from Direct TV confirming that I had cancelled my account. The email further stated I would owe a fee for early termination. The email didnt state the amount owed, or when the due date was. Today Direct TV debited my checking account in the amount of $470.80, without any prior notice or my approval. I acknowledge that I would have to pay a termination fee. However I find it extremely poor business for a company to tell you:1. You owe a fee 2. No notice of the amount of the fee 3. No indication of when the fee is due..The withdrawal of the entire fee is preventing me from paying some other bills. Im 75, disabled, and on a fixed income. I called Direct TV to complain about this. They acknowledged everything I stated above. Their only response was to say they were sorry for the inconvenience. Its a heck of a lot more than an inconvenience to me. Their practices are appalling.

      Business Response

      Date: 06/30/2025

      The DIRECTV Office of the President confirmed the Early Termination Fee (***) amount was fully disclosed to the consumer via online chat when they requested cancellation on 05/30. They were also advised of the date it would be charged to the card on file, which was their billing cycle end date. Per the DIRECTV Residential Terms of Service, the *** is valid and non-refundable as the service was cancelled prior to the completion of their 24-month service agreement.

      Complaint: 23516969

      I am rejecting this response because:
      They told me I would be charged an early termination fee. However they didnt tell me when that fee would be billed to me. As I stated previously, I dont object to paying the fee; but I do object the fact the email didnt state the amount or when it would be due. Had I known that, it wouldnt have caused me to be short on paying other bills. I dont want anything from Direct  TV except an acknowledgment they handled the matter incorrectly. You dont debit a persons account without their knowledge or an invoice stating the amount of the bill, and the due date of said ****. I will be posting on social media about my experience with Direct TV. That may possibly warn other prospective customers about how ******** operates.
      Sincerely,

      ****** ******

      Business Response

      Date: 07/07/2025

      The DIRECTV Office of the President reviewed the rebuttal notice received from the Better Business Bureau and thanks the consumer for their feedback. We understand the consumer is not satisfied with the outcome; however, our position remains unchanged regarding the Early Termination Fee (***).

      As previously advised, DIRECTV set the proper expectations regarding the *** when the consumer requested cancellation via online chat. They were provided the exact *** amount and the date it would be charged to the card on file. Like other streaming platforms, consumers do not receive paper statements with their DIRECTV via Internet subscription. Any applicable charges are applied to the payment method on file.
