      On April 18 2022 called Direct TV to cancel service due to poor programming and raising costs. Talked to ******* **** # ***********. Told him I wanted to cancel service since cost increasing from $130.41 to approx $160. He talked me into staying as customer with monthly service for next year to be $93.04. I agreed to try for one month. Following month I received bill for $142.67. I immediately called and begain trying to cancel service. After five different conversations over several days I finally was able to get service cancelled. Dropped phone calls, two agents who could not speak good english, poor phone connections and a general run around from all of them resulted in me asking to speak to a supervisor. After long wait I was finally able to talk to a supervisor and cancel Direct TV. I advised her that I had disconnected their boxes from my tv's and tried to return them to the ATT office in ***** Texas (Direct TV parent). The office refused to take them. Supervisor advised that they would send a postage paid box for me to return the devices. Box never arrived. Again called and received run around from agent. Ask to speak to supervisor. None available was excuse but supervisor would call me within 24 hours. Never happened. They then billed me for a months service fee during which the boxes were disconnected and sitting in a bag waiting to get returned. I was told to take them to a fed ex office and ship to Direct TV. I did this and returned the equipment on June 14, 2022. I am still being billed for nearly a months service during which I was not using the service. I feel the poor communication during the numerous phone calls I made and the delaying tactics used were deceptive business practices for the purpose of delaying cancellation of service and exacting additional monthly fees. I believe this experience is shared by numerous individuals. Trying to extricate myself from their service was extremely difficult and frustrating.

      I called a website stating it was Comcast trying to pay my bill. I had no idea it was a false website created by AT&T and they kept me on the phone over 2 hours wearing me out in order to switch me to AT&T and claimed it was better and I would save money. End of call the bill wasn't resolved. Package came in the mail and I didn't hook it up and called for help. Another hour and a half call and they convinced me at the end to go with dish.I got covid, called Comcast to help me get dish off my plan and restore my Comcast which was never disconnected as AT&T stated they would pay off and took my credit card number. I called AT&T telling them I was unhappy and want to know where to send their equipment back. I only had it a short time, now they want $521.99 and on phone told me they never merged with dosh, direct TV yet want me to pay for it. I was conned onto this and don't feel it's right that I have to pay for something I didn't want and all I've heard is lies.They never paid my past due to Comcast and I gave AT&T $85 for the first month and ended it within the month. They created a fake Comcast website to lure me away. I told a representative during my last phone call that I would contact you. They took several hours and money from me and I don't feel it's right. ********** ************ I can show you the website.

      Thank you for your response,
      They responded and then ignored me.
      I continue to be unfairly billed.
      I believe they have no intention of working with me on this matter.

      The original call I made with at&t was filled with lies denying the fake Comcast website and even the dish merger.

      They are ruining my reputation with credit.

      A few years back I received a flyer in the mail offering a bundle package for home phone, internet and DirecTV from AT&T. I already had AT&T home phone service. I called and signed up for the promotion. A few days later , a technician was out and hooked up the DirecTV. I was told that the fiber optics in my area were not complete so I would have to wait for the internet. I was also told that because I wasn't getting the internet service I didn't qualify for the bundle price. I paid full price for home phone and DirecTV for a few months before they got the fiber optics complete. Finally they sent out a technician to complete the hookup. They came out while I was at work and hooked everything up. My wife was home at the time. The technician told my wife that they were switching us from DirectTv to U-verse. We did not ask for this but the technician said it was an upgrade. A few months later I received a bill from DirectTv stating that I owed $747 for early breech of contract. I've contacted DirectTv and AT&T on multiple occasions but I keep getting the run around. At&t refers me to DirectTv and then DirectTv will refer me back to AT&T without getting this resolved. I'm sure this is effecting my credit score. What can I do to resolve this? I will not be sending them any money because I didn't ask to be switched from DirectTv. I was actually happy with DirectTv. I know AT&T and DirecTV are sister compaibut they are definitely not on the same page.

      I talked with a DirectTv representative and I think we came to a resolution. The representative was very professional and thorough.

      I canceled my directv and internet on May 19. I returned all my equipment and received a letter stating they received all my products. The letter was dated June 4. I am owed 73.99 from Att and still have not received my refund. I Called 3 times and each time I am told I just canceled the service and must wait. I would like my money back now. It has been over 60 days.

      I still have not received my refund. They said they are mailing me a card with 73.99 on it. I never paid with a card, always came out of my checking account. I wanted a check so I could put it back into my checking account. I was not given an option. Still waiting for the refund. You would think after now I should have received it.

      They told me to call the back of the card when I receive it and ask them if I can receive a check for the card . I haven't received the card and don't know if I can get the check from the person that issue the card. In any case I have still not received the card.

      Read the notes about the 1st technician charging me for an lnb 175.00 dollars and didn't do it right so another technician come out and I found out that there is no charge for a lnb so basically direct tv's tech who told me if I paid cash he could give me a deal and when asked the receipt he said he would have to bring it backThis technician left all of the nut off of the arm holding the lnb and the one's actually holding the lnb and it came completely off and ripped the coaxial to the lnb out. The 3rd technician spliced the coaxial to the lnb and the receiver but didn't put enough slack in it so when the satellite was going around searching for a signal it ripped it out of the roof of my rv. The 4th technician came in looked at the TV and the code and walked outside and was on the phone and next thing I know is he left and didn't say a word to me that he was leaving and called customer care to make a complaint but they said I would have to do that with technical and was.promised that it was wrong I needed to be addressed immediately and someone would be here the next morning nobody showed up and that wasn't the first time someone didn't show up it was the third time. The fifth guy who showed up went up to look at it and i yelled up to the roof to him yes I have a picture and he said he knows. Then came down and no picture and he said he couldn't figure out why but didn't check anything else. Every time I told a tech what has happened to be they screwed it up almost intentionally. When the sixth tech came out and also when I called I didn't explain anything and that tech fixed it in 5 minutes he said the wires were reversed on the satellite so obviously the tech before him did it intentionally. Nobody will let me talk to a supervisor and I mean refused to let me to a supervisor a two people said a supervisor would call me back and never did. Nobody has ever apolized to me or told me I would get my money back from the person they hired that ripped me off for my mon
