I have Directv.
A little story.
After having the Platinum(everything)service for about 4 years
I started to get dunning calls from some collection agency.
After ignoring them for a while,I called them up and said wasup?
They(Directv) claim I owe $120.00 from 1997!!!
I calmly explained that I HAD a past due balance when I re-instituted
my service 4 years ago,but paid it.They said B.S.,prove it!
I said B.S.,prove I didn't!I told them the statute on old debt is 7 years and I don't keep banking records for 10 years.Sorry they said.
Round and round we went.Finally I said screw it,cancel my service!
Well,that got some reaction!I was transferred to some woman who was
going to give me the stars and the moon.
About 3 months later I get my regular bill(or so I thought)for....$120.00.
I paid it and then the light bulb went on,my bill has never been $120.00
exactly.Doh!!!
They got me.I have not forgotten that.
I canceled my HBO,Showtime,sports package worth about $35.00 a month.
Friggin' crooks.
