Dish Network ripoff Pasadena California

Ok let's see where do I start? Well I guess the beginning is the best place.

In June of 2002 my husband and I entered a 1 year contract with dish network. We were happy with the service we had received from them, never any problems.

Until in May we decided to go back to cable because the price was better. I then called dish network to cancel my service I was then told I had to wait untill june 10 to end our contract, we paid our bill as always and on june 8th my bill ended up late by 10 days. Dish network then turned off my service and charged me a early termination fee. They shut me off and then charged me a fee.... Do you see where in going with this?

For a year we paid our bill and two days before my contract was up THEY shut me off permanently. I asked them what I had to do so it didn't reflect as a early termination they said I had to pay the bill in full, a 59.00$ reconnect fee and three months of service upfront.. ok if you do the math that would cost me about the same as the 240.00$ early termination fee.

It got to the point where all they wanted was this money from me. They didn't care about the fact it was their screw up and it was going to effect my credit. I will never enter a contract or have anything to do with sattlite again.
