Got a day set for 10\08\2015. Got cancelled. Set another day on 10\09\2015. About 15 minutes later get another call and said they have to set it on the 14 of October back, it has to take all day to do. Then the day before install I get another saying I have to change companies to one of the DirecTV contractors so then can get on bases.

    I wanted to switch from my lousy cable service to satellite so I call Direct TV. And after a short time I was told I did not pass the credit background check and I could not get service with them (but I can buy a car!). The monthly payment would automatically be withdrawn from my checking account each and even though I've been with the same bank for over 10 years and never been overdrawn, I still did not qualify. I have a steady monthly income which is electronically deposited into my account each month, but I still did not qualify. My credit score is low because of a bad marriage, bills that I got stuck with and trying to pay off the best I can. DirecTV is a joke. I went with Dish Satellite and happy with the service. I would not recommend DirecTV to anyone. Go Dish, they don't discriminate against you!

It transfers you to U-verse support. U-verse support transferred to DirecTV commercial service who transferred to residential but the phone goes totally silent and you don't know if you are still on hold.

    Had DIRECTV for ten days. It only worked for 2 hours after install. Every call I made for repair was just transferring around, holding and people asking me if the unit was plugged in, if the tv was turned on, etc. Long story short I cancelled because it was too much hassle for tv service. So now I have a final bill for $413 for early termination fee. DIRECTV claim they emailed me the contract. Well guess what? They emailed me all the personal information of a person with the name Mary ** who lives in NC who has no affiliation with me. Enough said about this company. You be the judge.

    We bought a new house and proceeded to have our service transferred to the new address. We were told that you get one free move a year and I have lived in my apartment for 8 years, finally purchased a house and they wanted to charge me $250.00 to set service up at the new house. At my old apartment they tapped into my neighbors dish so they never installed a new dish for us. They wanted to charge equipment charges again and everything. When I fought with them about how ridiculous that was and told them I wanted to cancel. We were told there was a $440.00 cancelation fee. I said cancel it and I would make payments. They then tried to take all the money straight from our checking account to pay that fee upfront.

    After talking to 5 different people who all wanted to offer me different deals to stay with them none of them wanted to just give me what we were told we could have, which was the one free move and now we are stuck paying all these fees out front. Our new address does not offer the internet package that we were getting. Our DirecTV deal was a bundled deal that monthly fee was going to go up another $45.00 just for taking it out of the bundle deal, which was out of my hands. I am very annoyed and discouraged with the customer service and the fine details and all the mistold stories. I would not trust these people with anything they say.

    Long time DirecTV customer. Never had a problem with service. Three months ago I upgraded our service package to a "Premium Intro Offer" for $79. I was advised to call back in 90 days for the same "Premium Intro" price. The Customer Service Rep (CSR) said DirecTV would have that same $79 intro price for the next three 90 day time periods... provided I called back each time 90 days later to renew the offer. Considering the savings... I felt DirecTV's pricing was competitive and fair. That call was taped. I made that first 90 call-back-offer today. A new but polite DirecTV CSR said that offer no longer existed... but he could offer me another "Premium Deal" that would "save" me about $25 off the regular price. I was stunned that DirecTV would not honor what they said they would do.

    My incredibly poor experience with AT&T has been ongoing now for over 3 months. Originating with an order to provide Internet/TV/telephone services for my new vacation rental/2nd home in San Diego, I ordered bundled services with a fixed monthly charge. I established service with an installation scheduled 10 July 2015. All services were up and operational during my visit from London in the summer, ending 26 August. At the end of our stay, I began to receive notices of unpaid DIRECTV bills. August 21, I spoke with Marcus in Salt Lake City, Utah and after investigation, was told that two accounts had been opened, one with the bundled AT&T services and the second, solely, DIRECTV. When I inquired about the late payment notices, AT&T told me that, as they were bundled, AT&T would be paying directly to DIRECTV. However, as they had just acquired DIRECTV, their systems had not yet been integrated.

    I phoned on August 31 to speak to Margery who was going to escalate the problem to the back office, as she discovered that the two accounts remained open for the same service. I was told that the unbundled account would be closed and that only the bundled account would remain open. Subsequently, we left the country assuming all services were status quo and operational. When my property manager was in the property on 6 October, we discovered that the television was not working as no receivers were being recognized. After several phone calls to AT&T, and I do mean calls enduring anywhere from 1-3 hours, it was discovered that the account had never been closed and that the receivers from the unbundled account had not been transferred to the bundled account.

    Several more calls and lots of time later, I have now spoken to another several "customer service" personnel; I have had to schedule an engineer to come to the house to reactivate the receivers on the bundled account. This means, I am further out of pocket as I have to compensate my property manager for these house visits. Unbelievably, this last agent, Christopher in New Mexico, a line manager, after 1.20 minutes on the phone threatened to cancel the engineer visit we agreed to as I was asking for reimbursement of the cost of my DIRECTV service for the time period between the disconnection of the receivers on 9/2/15 through the reinstallation date this Friday, 15 October. His argument was that as I wasn't in the house to have enjoyed the service, it is not refundable.

    I am utterly perplexed how each and every agent I have spoken to has not followed through on any of their action items, whether closing the original double account, or escalating my inquiries to a case manager, providing disinformation on several accounts. I am out of pocket for fees to my property manager to go to the service address, to call AT&T and troubleshoot on the phone with them, all to no avail. I am still without service. I have tenants arriving in 10 days time and no television service.

    AT&T has in no way taken responsibility for the hours of aggravation, for the out of pocket expense, and for asking for payment for a service which they have not delivered because of an internal error. Will AT&T do the proper thing and reimburse me for my expenses? Will they take any responsibility for these errors and for their incredibly poor customer service team, who have failed at every opportunity to correct this problem? I think they should be cited for negligence and held culpable. I am disgusted and looking for an alternate service.

    So far I have been more than underwhelmed with my experience with DirecTV. To start things off, my installation coordinator was less than professional and left a mess everywhere, did not clean up his garbage, cuttings, and left over cables. And of course, discovered this after I had completed his "customer satisfaction survey". There was a mistake made on my account when I signed up. Whoever signed me up forgot to include the NFL Sunday Ticket at no additional cost.

    When the season started (2 months after I had signed up) I didn't have access to these games. I called customer service, speaking with incompetent person after incompetent person. Finally to take to an "account specialist" who tried to tell me changes could be made after 30 days and that she couldn't add it. EXCUSE ME?? This is one of the reasons I went with them in the first place, and the season didn't start for several months after, so how was I supposed to know that it wasn't added until the season started?

    Long story short, she finally said she would add it to my account. Only to find it never was added. Queue another ridiculously long (1.5 hours) customer service phone call to get it all figured out. After speaking the "Presidents Office", it was added to my account, for the reminding portion of the season. Although my experience hasn't been great, unfortunately, most cable/satellite companies are just as bad. Corporate America sucks. You're just another number among millions of others and they just want your money.

    When I reached out to DirecTV it was to find out what they could offer. After a few minutes on the phone we went from 90 dollars to 29 dollars. They sold me on the cinema package which is something that already comes with the deals. He told me I would be able to watch theatre movies a couple days after release (some) and turns out to be false.

    After I agreed to the package for 29 dollars they set up a date to install the equipment. The day of install the guy could not finish the install because there was a freeze on my account and I couldn't reach the correct department due to being the weekend. After reaching the correct department on a weekday they verified and sincerely apologized for the inconvenience.

    On the next installation day I spoke with a DirecTV rep and went over my billing before finishing install and she told me I was getting discounts for the first year and that my bill would be 26 dollars including genies (I recorded my calls) and proceeded the install. Well when I got my bill it was nowhere near that price. I was being charged 90 dollars including a one time discount and then went to being billed over 100 dollars a month. I will be taking them to small claims and recommend not to purchase services from this company.

    The company representatives are not disclosing the information and/or giving the wrong information. I had 3 bad experiences in a row. DirecTV called me a month ago to offer equipment upgrade from regular HD receiver to DVR HD receiver. In return I agreed with 2 years contract. The agent promised there will be no extra fees neither for the installation, nor for the equipment, nor for the DVR services. The technician was never scheduled as promised and when we called to reschedule we had to argue with them to wave the technician's fee.

    The monthly service fee increased by $15 which was not disclosed during phone offer even I asked particularly about the fees. The representative reassured me there will be no change in fees. When we signed up for Sunday NFL ticket over the phone in the beginning of this September the representative promised a discount. Despite that we were billed full price on the next billing statement and when we called DirecTV to follow up on it we were told the discount was never recorded on their system.

    I have tried for months to get my iPad connection with DirecTV to keep freezing with NO resolve. Same story with Genie **. These apps basically DON'T work on the iPad. By DirecTV's own admission, we are 'working on it' but can't be responsible for the OS. Really? I suggest you request compensation through customer service, may take 3 levels of management to pressure them to adjust to their advertised promise and fix.

    We live in a rural area and we are sort of at the hands of our DSL provider which we don't really like or think is very competitive in prices. There are only two providers in this area, one is Endeavor the other is DIRECTV. We really wanted a package that put all in one package. Only DIRECTV could provide that. We are presently under contract with our TV which is DISH and we like their provisions. Others are working on service in this area: DISH, AT&T, New Wave. It seems that maybe Endeavor is trying to get what they can get because they know more competitive prices are coming. I may be wrong but 8 MGBS per second is pretty slow for the price we are paying and the cost is more if we want faster service. Our service is not a very much faster than dial-up. In the past I had DIRECTV and I didn't like the ** that came across with the regular channels at night time.

    TERRIBLE, every time dealt w/ DIRECTV. They always pull a fast 1 on us. Latest 1, cancelled our svcs because they raised the price to the sky. We called to negotiate. Rude, they'd rather give best prices to new customer, not established customers. So we cancelled. Rep said, they send us box to return equipment. Limit was 21 days. We called two additional times to get the boxes mailed, because the 1st and 2nd rep didn't do it right. So had we trusted and waited, those boxes would've never made it, thus making our equipment late and CHARGE. We were adamant and responsible to get their equipment back to them – Main receiver and Genie. Sent it on time, took pick of label and box. We were sure, we met the requirements. 3 WEEKS LATER, a charge for $48.65 appears in my savings/checking acct. And account I had NOT USED TO pay their bill in over 3 years.

    This particular account of mine which happens to be a Chase account was only used once on the initial installation back in 2013. After that I updated my bank information to a BofA account from which I pay my bills from. So they charged my account DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY RECEIVED THE EQUIPMENT. No matter what do, to ensure you follow directions, they find a way or reason to charge you. I called back to explain to them: 1st, they should not have charged me. 2nd, they charge an acct I don't use to pay my bill, so they made me incur a $12 bank fee. The 1st girl - PH Rep I spoke to, said not problem, refund coming. The 2nd girl - PH Rep said, the request for refund was denied. Now remember, the 1st girl never told me that she was submitting a request for a refund, she said, the refund is coming. So the 2nd girl, requests the refund again.

    7 Days later, 3rd PH Rep very nice guy – Deric explains to me the refund was denied yet again, because they realized the card they charged was NOT AND "UNAUTHORIZED CARD". I never claimed it was "UNAUTHORIZED". All I had told them, was it's an old account I haven't used to pay my bills with. BY NOW, I HAVE SPEND 12 HOURS OF MY LIFE TALKING TO DIRECTV OVER THIS REFUND. Deric makes detailed notes and transfers me to billing. Oh by the way, he cannot talk to the billing dept for me. So I have to explain this story a 4th time. 4th PH Rep tells me my refund has been processed and I'll see it on my account in 3-5 days. Nine days pass by, no refund. 5th PH Rep, nine days later, "The refund was processed 3 days ago and you will see it on your account within 3 days." Five days pass, no refund.

    6th PH Rep: (BY NOW I'VE SPENT ABOUT 20 HOURS OF MY LIFE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE.) "Ma'am, your account is closed so we cannot generate a refund, the system does not allow it. So you will receive a visa check card in the mail within 30 days." – with middle eastern accent. MY QUESTION: why couldn't the previous 2 billing girls explain that to me? DIRECTV is a piece of ** company, that cannot train their people right. Talking to them is like talking to the wall. Oh because they don't talk to each other... So you have explain your story, each and every time you call, a manager will never pick up the phone. Actually it would be more pleasant to talk to the wall. I am almost sure to train them to make us stories just to get you off the phone, and you never get anywhere with them. DISGUSTED.

    Called to have mine and boyfriend's accounts merged. We live in same house. My boyfriend had a stroke and is disabled. I take care of him. The tech comes over and looks around. Says I have to call DirecTV and have account merged, which I already did that. That was the reason he was there. So I get on the phone with them. They take down all the box numbers and say "ok account are now merged". I had perfectly fine tv connection at this time. When I hung up with her, my tv service was disconnected and my boyfriend account was to be connected to 2 tvs in others parts of the house. I go outside to tell the tech they were merged. I could not find him. He got in his van and left. He did not tell me anything just left.

    So there we sat with NO tv and NO tech scratching our heads wondering what just happened. I had to take off 3 and half hrs of work for NOTHING. I got on the phone with DirecTV, I got passed around, put on hold, disconnected twice until finally I was talking to the 9th person, Yes 9. She assured me she could help. She also told me that the tech had called and cancel the work order himself after he left our house. He must have been lazy and or dumb and decided he just didn't want to do it.

    She told me that a supervisor would call me within 1 hr, LOL. We both knew that was not going to happen. I was on the phone for 4 hrs with DIRECTV and the issue that DirecTV caused was never resolved. I called them again, as bad as I hated to, this morning and I was told that there was no record of a tech being at my house. Issue is still not resolved. Being disabled, my boyfriend cannot do anything but watch TV, but who knows when he will get his tv back. Only GOD I guess.

    I had DirecTV for years. My kids who are 4 and 7 LOVED it, my wife loved it. But our contract ran up, we owed them money. They got all their money and contract was up. We wanted to put DirecTV in my name or my wife's, it was in mother in law's name. Due to their HORRIBLE credit check system we did not have all that money upfront... Well she had a heart attack last year... So dealing with everything going on with that and deaths (we had 3 people die in matter of 4 months) we were FLAT broke. Once they disconnected our service they went ahead and took all the money we owed them out of our bank account and canned us. I wish I somehow switched bank accounts so they could of never of done it, either way though DTV got their money. It was not like we owed a ton of money. I believe we're behind 1 month.

    So they end our contract (it was up), they get their money then we ask if we can just start it back up since we've been customers and paying our bills for years with them.... NOPE they wanted a huge amount of money UPFRONT! Which we did not have and they did not want to give us "new customer" deals even though we are technically new customers.. So now we are stuck with DirecTV. Keep in mind that while I had DirecTV I got them 3 customers! I got my mom to order it, I got my brother to order it and my friend got it all because I told them it was THE BEST!! What do I get in return? They want all this money upfront that I don't have. I could pay my bill easily every month, I just don't have UPFRONT money. So I switched to Charter. I hate Charter BUT my goal in life is to get as many people that I once told to get DirecTV to cancel.... I basically had it for Sunday Ticket.

    Well I have tricks up my sleeve now DirecTV and Charter gives me HIGH-SPEED internet to do just that. You are terrible people. All we wanted is service, instead you want all this money upfront when you know we always paid our bill. Bad company. I did love their service but if you have the smallest little thing on your credit they will want 2-500 dollars from you upfront PLUS they won't give you deals that RICH people get... DirecTV is an evil company. This is a company that called at a wake and I told me they were shutting me off while my kids were at home with the babysitter. I begged them to wait until after I got home to figure something out. NOPE. EVIL PEOPLE WHO ONLY CATER TO THE RICH.

    What happened to me is what the FTC is suing Directv for in March 2015. The way the scam works is the company tacks a "free" premium channel on, doesn't let you cancel during the free period, and then bills you after the automatic renewal. The company doesn't care if you cancel during a two year plan because it then assesses an early cancellation fee. In this case, the scam involved the NFL Sunday ticket from late 2014 - October 2015. The company is now owned by AT&T so uses AT&T's business practices.

    Prior to installation the customer should get the channel guide a few days before so they decide which package to get with exclusive offers. Otherwise the cost will be more after the initial install day. During install it is hard to decide and look over the guide.

    I cancelled my contract because our apartment manager doesn't allow installation of DirecTV antenna. I received a call that the installer will come even my contract was cancelled and replaced with U-verse. I called back DirecTV to stop the technician from coming, it was easily resolved by your representative. Thank you!

    Very easy to send my Uverse equipment back. DirecTV is cheaper without me giving up any tv channels I watch regularly.
