DirectTV Autopay not authorized, but grabbed anyway Internet

What is it about businesses and banks that they think that if something is written down that it is ok? If someone goes into a bank and hands the teller a note explaining that the bank is about to be robbed, the court will not buy the fact that it was put in writing first. Just because they write it down first does not make their crime of theft any less.

Teh only word that matters is whats written on the contract.

That's the only word the court system cares about.

People lie. Companies lie.

All we can go by is what is written.

Don't listen to ashley she Is another, business advocate who defends these businesses. Well guess what ashley businesses don't honor their contracts or either.

So its both ways ashley businesses don't keep their word either.

You did agree to it:


"(e) Payment Upon Cancellation. You acknowledge that you have provided your credit or debit card account information to us. You understand that you will incur fees and charges as a result of your receipt and use of Service and/or Receiving Equipment, and may incur early cancellation fees and/or equipment non-return fees (as specified in any lease, programming or other service commitment agreement you entered into in connection with obtaining Receiving Equipment). By giving us your credit or debit card account information, you authorize us to apply this method of payment, in accordance with applicable law, to satisfy any and all amounts due upon cancellation. You further acknowledge that you are required to maintain current credit or debit card information with us and agree to notify us whenever there is a change in such information, such as a change in the card number or the expiration date.

So much for filing with the Attorney General.
"Direct TV declines to make an adjustment of your complaint because they advised me of collection."
Since I had no money in the bank the day I terminated, I would have been acutely aware of being told immediate collection was being made.
I know I owe the money, however, I expected a final bill.
No where in the "contract....their term for my requirements to them, not their requirements to me as a customer" does it state the final collection will be made immediately.
The attorney general's office just said their are not arbitrators and I would need to hire a lawyer to pursue this further.
So much for good business practices in Washington State!!!!
I have contacted several media outlets (TV stations) in the Seattle area to get the word out.
I would NEVER do business with these vultures again!
