    For nearly 3 years, my bill with DIRECTV was $79.84. We moved in October 2015, and since we've moved the bill has crept up to be $141.86. When I call to question why it had increased, I was told that the promotions had expired. I asked to speak to a supervisor because the young lady didn't seem confident in her answers. She put me on hold and tossed the called back into the queue, so I had to explain everything another Rep.

    The 2nd young was very nice and broke down each increase on my bill. She also gave me a 1 time credit of $25 to cushion the blow, which I really appreciate. She suggested that I speak with the Retention Department because they had the authorization to offer discounts that she could not. A warm transfer was done to that department, and the lady I spoke with was so flippin rude. Told that I'd had $50 credits for a while and they had already done enough for me. So I tell her that I'll be seeking another provider because I can't afford a cable bill that's more than my electric and gas bills combined. She proceeded to tell me that when I moved and got another DVR that I signed a new 2 year contract and would be charged $400 if I canceled.

    Why is it that we're stuck to such a lengthy contract, but their discounts don't last nearly as long? DIRECTV only values the new business they bring in but does nothing to show appreciation and maintain the customers they already have. I talked my sister into switching about a year ago. She said having the exact same problem with her bill doubling. It's no coincidence that this is the reason I left AT&T Uverse tv service years ago and am experiencing the exact issue now that AT&T has acquired DIRECTV. Just tragic!

    As the homeowner of a duplex, my tenant has direcTV. The roof is being replaced, my tenant is out of town and the roofers need DirecTV to replace a deteriorated bracket that is attached to the surface of the roof. The roofer indicated that the attachment to the surface of the roof is not ideal and should be attached to the roof fascia. DirecTV will not fulfill my request, there is no workaround when the tenant is out of town. I have called twice and got the runaround.

    I had DIRECTV for years and decided to change providers because my bill was getting out of hand. I called several times trying to lower my bill and was told they could not do anything for me. When I called to cancel AFTER I already had installed cable with another provider all of a sudden they could help me out! Well TOO LATE! I closed my account with DIRECTV on Sept. 22nd, made my last payment of almost $300 which was cashed by them on Oct. 16th! I then received a bill for almost $230 for a November statement! I have fought this for over 4 months! I end up paying it so it wouldn't ruin my CREDIT! They abuse being a big company! I will never again be a DIRECTV customer. I will advise anyone I know to NEVER use DIRECTV!!! They are a bunch of crooks!!! Customer service is horrible!!! Supervisors are useless!!! STAY AWAY AND NEVER USE THEM!!!

Although we were still unable to reschedule at the time, she really did make every attempt to resolve my concerns. The entire time we were on the phone she kept a very positive attitude. She even seemed disappointed that the system wouldn't allow her to reschedule my appointment. Ultimately, when I was contacted by the installers, they were able to squeeze me in.

    I had great internet/phone/cable service from Grande; however, the bill kept climbing. I decided to lower my expenses and give DirecTV a chance. As a result, I placed an order with them to swap my services from Grande to them and entered HELL. They spent a whole day at my house ripping out the Grande equipment and installing the DirecTV equipment. It ended up that they could not complete the work due to a technical issue. They, however, assured me that it would be resolved quickly. What a joke! I have spent three days trying to resolve this without any progress. I have communicated with a multitude of people at DirecTV/AT&T who have no idea what is going on and unable to help including a "Veronica" who is allegedly with their "office of the president".

    What a useless title! All I have received thus far is incompetence and empty promises with no idea when I can return to a normal life. In my opinion, this is the worst customer service in existence. I cannot even get them to simply return my Grande service and get out of my life. I would not wish DirecTV to anyone, unless they wanted me to suggest a way they could experience internet/phone/cable HELL on earth. Adding insult to injury is that I am still paying for the Grande service during this time...

    I was given a good rate for last year and was told at the time to call back in 2016 and they would get me a good rate again. I called back and the best I could was $2.00 off the new bill amount, there was no bargaining. I couldn't go with that so I cancelled my service and signed up with Time Warner. I don't like TWC, tried again with DTV with no luck. Finally called AT&T and got a good deal and was about to cancel my TWC but i9 told my wife what I had done and she didn't want to do it so I called and cancelled my new account. The people at AT&T were really great to work with as was the woman I spoke with when I cancelled the new account.

    My partner and I moved to Phoenix, AZ in 2009, which we bought a bar and our home. We did have Cox as our cable and internet provider for a while and we did not like that so we switched our service to DirecTV. So for the last 6 years we have had DirecTV in our home and at our place of business. I was calling them today to ask about our satellite box and they explained that they have had issues with this model so she is sending me out a new box that should take care of things she was very pleasant and handle my request very nicely.

    After hanging up the phone I was looking at my bill for the first time to see what we have been doing and I came across that we have had NFL Sunday ticket on there and (the reason I don't check my bill every month is that I have direct billing that goes straight to my CC.) that's why I would have never known that was on there. So proceeded to call and see how 1 to get it off there and why it would be on there anyway we would have never ordered it for the house. I talked to a lady first she said she could stop the NFL Sunday Ticket but there is nothing they can do to reimburse me for the other months that I have had this in there.

    Again I said there is no way that I would have ordered this service, she said well since the nil is over they can't do anything. I asked to be transferred to the supervisor a gentlemen came on the line and I told him my situation and he said there is nothing I can do and I replied when did I get this service put on even though I never ordered it he said it was a freebie in the beginning when you started your service. They never told me that or never told me that I would have to call and cancel this so that I wouldn't be charged.

    I have never used this service to watch any sports and now I am out for the last 6 years $41.99 a month for the last (The NFL Sunday ticket so 6 times 6) 36 months I have been paying for something that I have never asked for and didn't know that I had to be the one to have it removed. So I think this is pretty shady that they do this kind of things to people. If I would have know that I would have said I don't want the freebie at all. Thank you. Well I hope someone can help me out with this issue. If you need any more info please feel free to get a hold of me. Thanks for your time.

    A few months ago, I had a dispute about my bill. They looked at it and said I should have a credit. The next two months, my bill said No Payment at This Time. I figured I had paid from my bank online or they were still giving me credit. One day, with no warning, tv was shut off. I called them and they said I had enrolled in auto-pay and paid, and told me I had called my bank and cancelled my payment. I immediately called them and told them I had never been enrolled in auto pay. They insisted I had and told me I could no longer pay without Western Union! They finally admitted I wasn't enrolled in auto pay, and they would send me boxes to turn in my equipment in a month. They said I could still pay any charges that I didn't know I had, but I would still have to pay with some weird form of payment. They admitted it was their mistake, but frankly they didn't care. Stay away from them.

Hopefully the government will investigate and fine them for not notifying customers prior to price increase. Will need to cancel service when contract is up in September.

    Approximately 2 weeks ago, we had made an appointment for an installer to come out and install another box in our kitchen. This was scheduled for Monday 2-8-2016 between the hours of 8 am - 12 noon. The night before, I received an automated message asking me to confirm this appointment which I did. On Monday 2-8-2016 no one came out, so about 3:00 P.M., I began calling. I took the entire day off of work at a cost of about $250.00. I was advised that no one was coming out to install the box and that the appointment had been rescheduled for 2-23-2016, without my knowledge. I spoke with three (3) customer service reps who were all very rude. I was told that I would get a $50.00 install guarantee credit on my bill.

    The last lady I spoke with would not allow me to explain myself and was very rude. This customer service is unacceptable. I told the last lady that I would look into changing my service to DISH and she told me that they would sue me for the balance owed on the contract. More or less laughed in my face. I had to reschedule this install for 3-7-2016 because I am unavailable to be there again for an installer until this time. How do I even know someone will show up then.

    While upgrading our phones at our local AT&T store, we noticed the DIRECTV display. We asked a few questions and decided to give it a try. The crew came to our home on January 21 and determined that they were not able to get a good signal because of all the tall trees around our house, so we cancelled the service. My bank account had been charged a $124.45 deposit, which we were told would be refunded within a few days.

    The following week... no refund... so I called DIRECTV customer service. It was quite a challenge to get through the phone tree and get an actual human being on the line. When I finally did... I was told the cancellation/refund order was never processed, that it would be taken care of immediately, but that it could take up to 10 business days to show up in my account.

    Nine business days later, still no refund. This time, for whatever reason, it was even harder to get through to customer service. After being transferred around, stuck in phone-tree hell and being hung-up on, I finally reached a rep who, once again, informed me that the cancellation order had never been put through. According to her, it will now take up to five business days to get my refund. So DIRECTV gets a 30-day interest-free loan from me. (That's IF I ACTUALLY GET MY REFUND WITHIN FIVE BUSINESS DAYS, AS PROMISED!). Totally... and completely... UNACCEPTABLE!

And both times have said they will have the installer call me. No call at all. I do not know if they work in the dark and it will be dark soon. I took time off of work to have this done today because there will not be time for the rest of the month to do it. I am hungry and have other things I needed to do after he was supposed to be done.

    Can you help please resolve this issue? Oct. 2014, service was installed w/o a TV or Proof of Signal/Service arranged by Verizon. DIRECTVs CSRs will readily admit that the service should NOT have been installed without a TV in place!! Yet, I was charged by Verizon for monthly unused DIRECTV services and when canceling in Sept 2015 was charged a $400.00 cancellation fee against my account. Now owing $310.00. I did not/do not own a TV!! I am willing to accept my mistake of trust and move on with a total cancellation of both the $310.00 amount due and notifying CBE, their collection agency.

    When I took my situation to office of the DIRECTV's president, I was told, "You signed the Work Order" therefore the T's & C's of the agreement stand! (It was inferred that this is incredulous that you expect me to believe you did not/do own a TV, yet allowed the service to be installed! It does not concern us that Verizon made you a side deal that the service would remain dormant until you decide to install a TV). Details are available upon request. Thank you for your time and help.

    I enrolled with DIRECTV satellite service with Auto Bill Pay and paperless statements. After being a longtime customer, I notice my payments creeping up monthly. I call and question the increase and was told the increase was a rate hike from DIRECTV. After finally getting a paper copy of my bill, I discover that I am being charged for 8 TVs. Needless to say this is 5 more than I own and I call to question the mistake. Customer service is slow but friendly. I give all serial numbers to my equipment and they verify my equipment. I get an apology and am told I will not get a credit to my account because, "I should have caught their error sooner."

    At this point, I am livid and am waiting on someone with account authority to call me back since "that manager" is always in a meeting when I call. It is unfortunate because this company used to be pretty good, but ditch paperless statements and auto draft and scrutinize each bill if you are a customer of DIRECTV. I have never seen a company make an error, admit the error and then refuse to make it right. I only asked for the amount overcharged and not anything free or undue to me for using DIRECTV service. Unbelievable.

    I signed up for Directv in August 2015. I had to always unplug my receiver and plug back in to get it to work for a few hours. I finally called in December to have it fixed. Someone came out to replace equipment. I was told over the phone while scheduling the appointment there would be no charge for the repair. He immediately told me there would be an $800 charge to replace equipment. I had to speak with the techs office on his cell phone to explain I would not be paying for the new equipment. They verified I did have a warranty and agreed that there wouldn't be a charge. Equipment was replaced. My contract WAS RESET TO THAT DATE. Now I am under contract from December not August.

    About 45 days later I was charged $817.44 to my debit card they had on file to pay my monthly bill. I called to dispute the charge. After about an hour on the phone she agreed this was made in error and assured me I would be reimbursed within five business days. Five days went by with no reimbursement. I called several times and finally about three hours later a "supervisor" assured me I would have my money within seven business days.

    On the fifth day I did receive reimbursement for about $750 dollars. I then emailed corporate stating the facts and that I would like out of my contract. I received a phone call the next day. He denied any wrongdoing and that it's totally within reason that I was charged this amount and that all I had to do was call and I "got my money back didn't I". By the way my equipment still doesn't work. How do I get rid of these criminals and when I cancel what are the steps to disputing their charges for breaking the contract???

I directed them to their statement on their website that my monthly charge would not increase for the contract year. However, it made no difference to them. I asked if I could cancel, since I was only in the second month. They said "yes" if I paid $400.00. Their representatives were dishonest and management (corporate) are even worse. All I asked is that they honor their commitment, but that is too much to ask of them. I tried every way to contact them, including a chat, but the remarks/answers were the same.

I called back tonight and spoke with both an agent and a supervisor and STILL nothing has been resolved.

Customer "no" service also informed me that since I was never officially added to the account I cannot set up the service call appointment to get the satellite to work again! So here I sit with no cable... Funny the entire time I was with Charter my cable never went out.... Guess what family will be switching cable providers in 22 months?

    In my 30+ years of customer service I have never experienced such horrible customer care! The best part of the call was, "Is there anything else I can help you with tonight?"

    My order was not exact, so I had to pay extra even though I went through a thorough configuration. That is why I am giving 4 stars. The install was great. Brian did a very good installation. He was very professional and friendly. The customer service desk also very good. Really the only issue was the additional cost which I paid, since I had to cover all of my windows. I am very happy with the installer and customer service. Thank you.

    When I initially called to have DirecTV installed, I forgot to mention that I was referred by my sister. When I called back, the service girl was very helpful and kind. She added my sister as my referring customer quickly.
