I signed up as a bundle with Century Link. I was supposed to get a promotional deal for 1 year. It lasted 6 months and the bill doubled. Then when I was having trouble paying the bill, after my husband lost his job. They refused to work with me and change my package to a less expensive one. When I cancelled my contract, they started telling me that they were going to charge my credit card for a list of fees I never agreed to. I told the gal I was talking to that they were not authorized to do that. She kept going on and on about the fees etc. I hung up, called my bank and cancelled my credit card. Then called Direct TV back and cancelled my contract. They proceeded to call me several times a day for 3 months after the cancellation. I had 9 months to go on the contract and my bill is over $500, when it should only be around $250. I returned the equipment so there shouldn't be a charge for that. I've not seen it. I've not seen a final bill either. I've been sent to a collection agency CBD Group who is now calling me several times a day including Sundays and before 8 am and after 9pm.

Payment Method Used

AUTHOR: Jenny - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, November 26, 2012

As stated before I signed up to bundle via Century Link so NO payment method was chosen. I did pay online with a debit card afterwards. So your comment about using payment method is invalid, ortherwise it would have been billed through Century Link, which never happened.

I went from a 750 credit score to 598...that's how bad the hit was on my credit....

When you sign up for satellite TV service....

whether DirectTV or Dish, you agree to a two year contract with a pro-rated cancellation fee.

You also agree (in this contract) that they can charge any amounts due them from the method of payment you used when you signed up.

Sorry for your hardship, but it is a legally binding contract and you can't re-negotiate its terms later.

No, I DON'T work for DirectTV and don't even like them.

I don't know what kind of credit rating you had before, but it just took a major hit.
