      After several years of month to month ************ I decided to cut the cord and close my account. Dish would not provide an online option to close and made it necessary to call to close the account. After two abusive agents, I was finally successful at closing my account. Dish arbitrarily charged my account an undisclosed and unauthorized $135 termination fee, which I did not agree to. They valued their receiver at $15 dollars ( see statement ). I was always a month to month customer. I never signed a contract. After my repeated request, **** was unable to provide me with any written contract at the point of the account closing.Date of unauthorized fee ********

      Dear **************:

      On September 16, 2022, we received your complaint, dated September 15, 2022, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you have been trying to get DISH Network service for two years, and you recently went online to create an account, which required a $25.00 payment upfront. You had a problem with making a payment, so you called in and the sales agent explained that you would have to pay $185.00 to setup service. You want to know why you were quoted different prices for the service when previously you were able to setup an installation with no upfront costs.

      When we spoke on October 12, 2022, I explained that credit qualification determines price point, and upfront costs will vary based on the type of equipment setup for the order. If you qualified for service previously with no upfront fees, something must have changed on your credit file.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue, please feel free to contact me at **************.

      You stated that you have not been receiving paper bills, as this is your preferred method of receiving your statement. You requested that we ensure you receive your monthly statement via USPS.

      When we spoke by phone today, I advised you that our records indicate your account had been set to receive paperless billing. This option has been removed and your account has been flagged so it will not revert to the previous method. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. As a courtesy, I reversed the $10.00 late payment fee assessed on September 10,2022.

      In Dec 2021, I called trying to cancel my DISH service. I had just made an automated payment and had not completed the month of service I paid for, so of course *******(CSR) suggested a pause for 9 months to swallow up all my money rather than reimbursement. I then called at the 9 month **** to try to cancel again. ***** then gave a huge savings spill on perks & all kinds of goods & that my monthly bill would be less than $80. If there was a residence that we could move the perks to. I then extend my pause for another 3 months thinking maybe I could find someone to help out. I find a place to use, it set up installation appointment. However I end up canceling & decide to go ahead & cancel the service after talking to other DISH customers about all my perks, they all laughed at me stating I have been fooled. DISH will not honor it. I call to cancel before installation takes place and **** tells me I cannot cancel without paying a $240 cancelation fee. I just paid 9 months of service I wasn't even using and now they expect me to pay $240 more to cancel a service I haven't even used! That is highway robbery. DISH IS A THEIF!!! I just want to cancel a service I have not used in almost a year without being charged. On another note they get very personal with their questions when trying to cancel.

      Dear **************:

      On September 16, 2022, we received your complaint, dated September 15, 2022, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you placed your DISH Network account on pause, and when you called in to cancel, DISH Network convinced you to move the service. You later changed your mind, but when you attempted to cancel the account, you were told that you would be charged a $240.00 early termination fee.

      My attempts to contact you at ************** on October 7 and 11, 2022, were unsuccessful, but I left a voice message with my contact information.

      A review of your account indicates that on September 12, 2022, you accepted a new 24-month contract that was tied to a promotion called our Price Lock Advantage,which provided a $10.00 programming cost discount and a price lock on your programming cost for the 24-month commitment. A mover was setup to install and activate a ***** receiver that you owned at a new address. On September 14,2022, you changed your mind and called in to cancel your service, and you were informed that a $240.00 early termination fee would be charged. You disputed the charge and disconnected the call, and no further action was taken on your account.

      As an exception, I waived the early termination fee on your account to allow you to cancel without penalty.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue, please feel free to contact me at **************.

      Called to discontinue service and was told I am still under contract beacuse I recieved a discount on the price.That is not true I had to discontinue my services to get the better price.They claim I would have gotten a discount only by entering my pin number, however I specifically asked if this would extend my service and I was told no it would not.

      On September 16, 2022, we received your complaint, dated September 15, 2022, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that when you called in to cancel your service, you were informed you were still under contract, which you agreed to by entering your account PIN. You said that you did not agree to this.

      When we spoke on September 20, 2022, I informed you that a review of the July 25, 2021, call revealed you called in about a rate increase. The agent you spoke with informed you that your new customer offer had expired. They told you about the Preferred Customer Offer and read the necessary disclosures, then they flagged your account with the offer and advised you to call in again within seven days to accept it. On July 30, 2021, you called in, accepted the offer by entering your PIN into the automated system, essentially signing the contractual commitment. Nevertheless,I offered to release you from the remaining term of this commitment as an exception, which you accepted as a resolution.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue,please feel free to contact me at **************.

      We switched from Spectrum to Dish Network, just last week. We had the final install scheduled for September 10. Not only was the installer late for the 12pm - 5pm appointment window, but here was here past 8:00 pm on a Saturday night and most problems were left unresolved. Apparently, the ****** 3 is new and this was his first installing the device. He was wonderful, but no one he called at Dish could help him with all of the issues. Now we have three televisions, in main rooms, that we cannot watch. We were told that someone would be here Wednesday 9/14 to rectify the problem. When no on showed up, we called Dish and they shared that they will not have anyone to the house until 9/21. This is unacceptable! I want a full credit and want out of the contract, unless they send someone immediately.

      Dear ********************:

      On September 16, 2022, we received your complaint, dated September 14, 2022, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that your installation technician was unable to complete the installation, leaving you without service. You said you were told the next available appointment was on September 14, 2022, but when no technician showed up you were advised that your appointment was not until September 21. You requested a credit for your time without service and requested to be released from your two-year commitment.

      As I advised you by email, we sincerely regret any installation issues. As a courtesy, I have applied an additional one-time credit for $82.10. This credit, in addition to the previous one-time credit issued to your account, will cover one month of service. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

      Please note I was able to review the phone call from September 11, 2022, when a technician appointment was requested. This call review shows that **** called in, and she was properly advised that the next available technician appointment was September 21, 2022. We apologize for the wait; however,appointments are scheduled on a first-come-first-served basis. Appointments are also dependent on technician availability in your area.

      We regret that your experience was unfavorable; however,your early termination fee is still valid.

      You stated that when you had DISH Network service installed in 2018, you had surge protectors installed. You said you were told they have a lifetime guarantee.However, after two of them stopped working, DISH Network will not replace them because they have surpassed the warranty period.

      When you and I spoke on September 30, 2022, I explained that these devices are not guaranteed for life. However, as a courtesy, I agreed to apply a credit to your account for one month of service or $128.78, which will allow you to purchase replacement surge protectors. You accepted this offer.

      I am rejecting this response because: Dish states that I was "not pre-approved"  to receive the gift card offer, not did I provide a promotional code. I signed up for ************ on its website. How could I possibly be pre-approved? The website stated I would receive a $300 gift card for signing up for service. I signed up for its service. There was no mention of a promotional code in the form I filled out.  Dish now states I needed some sort of pre-approval and a promotional code. This simply a ruse to avoid having to provide the $300 gift card. Furthermore, I never receive a voicemail from Dish Network. I simply want the $300 gift card stated in the offer. I performed my end of the contract, Dish is failing to perform its end of it.

      Sincerely,

      Dear ****************:

      On October 18, 2022, we received your rebuttal, dated October 18, 2022, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You maintain that you were offered a $300.00 gift card to start service, but you have not received it. You also stated that you were not provided with a promotional code, as you found the offer on the internet. You requested that we provide this gift card.

      I advised you via email that our records show your account was neither preapproved to receive this gift card offer nor was a promotional code provided; therefore, we are unable to issue a gift card. I also advised you to contact our third-party retail partner, ********************, directly if you wish to dispute this matter further.

      As an exception, I offered to apply a $300.00 one-time credit to your DISH Network account in lieu of the gift card. You accepted, and I applied the credit to your account. Please allow ************************************ your balance.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue,please feel free to contact me at **************.

      Sincerely,

      Today, 9/13/2022 we called Dish, inquiring about getting Thursday ********* Games, as we have for years. We explained we subscribe to *** Network, BTN, and FS-1, all available sports channels. We also volunteered that we heard Thursday ********* Games had become an Amazon Prime Exclusive, so we knew we might need a Prime Membership (out of Dish's hands). We do not have Internet. We simply wanted to know how to get the games.We spoke with no less than (7) call center representatives, (2) of which were supervisors, spending in excess of (2) hours on the phone, an unfathomable, horrific amount of phone time! We never got an answer until the last person, who indicated we'd need to purchase $70.00 Viasat Satellite Internet for $70.00 per month. We said that was cost-prohibitive and declined.We asked the last supervisor (******?) for a $40.00 - $50.00 one-time courtesy credit, for the unconscionable amount of phone time. He indicated that could be done, but we'd need to get transferred again. We were transferred twice more; the first offered only a $10.00 credit; then only a $5.00 credit, which we extremely unhappily accepted! (We had no remaining patience/tolerance for the ridiculous phone time and never-ending transfers.)

      Dear ************:

      On September 14, 2022, we received your complaint, dated September 13, 2022, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You expressed concern with the time it took to get information on your options to get the Amazon Prime streaming service on your television. You also mentioned not being able to receive a credit that was offered by a DISH Network agent.

      When we spoke on October 6, 2022, I confirmed the information provided was accurate.The Amazon Prime streaming application is a service that requires internet access and an external device such as an Amazon Fire Stick or a Roku player to access the application.

      As an exception, I issued a one-time $40.00 credit to your DISH Network account.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue, please feel free to contact me at **************.

      Sincerely,

      I had ******* installed because it was cheaper and they told me I would have everything the same as with the old company. That wasn't true because I found that I had no ******* sports coverage. They won't let me cancel without paying a $440.00 cancelation fee. I had the service for almost 3 months but only used it a short time before going back to the old company to get the sports stations.

      Dear **************************:

      On September 14, 2022, we received your complaint, dated September 12, 2022, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that when you agreed to subscribe to DISH Network, you were told you would receive all the programming you had with your previous provider; however, this was not true. You requested to cancel without an early termination fee.

      When we spoke on September 9, 2022, regarding this issue, you said the programming you were promised included Bally Sports. I agreed to cancel your DISH Network account, waive the early termination fee, and waive the return shipping fee.

      A refund of $26.23 has been issued.

      I explained the equipment return process and verified the address to send the equipment return kit to, which is scheduled to arrive at your residence on September 22, 2022.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue,please feel free to contact me at **************.
