DirecTV Billed for service after cancelled. Billed for equipment which was returned as instructed. El Segundo California

DirecTV is trying to illegaly bill me because I terminated their service.

When I called this company and told them I was terminating, they did not immediately stop billing me for their service.

Additionally, concerning their equipment, I was told to take the equipment to ANY store which handles UPS and Fedex. “Anystore with Fedex or UPS?” “YES.”

I took it to a store on Huntington Dr. near me.  The store had signs on the front window stating “UPS” and “FEDEX.” However, the manager said he would not take it.  I called DirecTV and asked again: “ANY STORE?” “YES!”  As I left the store, I took pictures showing the window signs (UPS and Fedex) and also showing the equipment inside the store while the manager kept saying he would not accept it.

I left.

I did what I was told to do. I find that DirecTV has caused me significant harm; my credit rating has been markedly reduced (FICO went from 845 to 733). If this is not remedied ASAP I will take legal action against DirecTV.

Needless to say, I will never pay this and strongly recommend to the internet community not to do business with this company.
