On the 7th of Jan. they hook me up and charge me $49.99 so I call dish and was told that that was one of there subs that installed for them and they charged for hook up.  I got that taken care and they took it off after a month. On 1-13-10 I got my first bill for $61.47 so I call  nothing was done about on 2-7-10 they did not charge me they give me credit on my hook up of $49.99 on 3-8-10 my bill was $57.44, on 4-9-10 $35.45 , 5-6-10 $76.21, 6-4-10 $68.07, 7-9-10 $54.78,they took off a

On February 11, 2011, we received your complaint, dated February 10, 2011, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You expressed concern about your monthly DISH Network rate increasing. You request to have the DISH Network cancellation fee reversed.

When I spoke to you on February 23, 2011, I explained that DISH Network reserves the right to change pricing at any time. Your monthly rate was correct and the cancellation fee is valid. I offered to charge you a $99.00 activation fee instead of the cancellation fee of $165.00. You stated you will think about it and call me later.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. If there are further questions or concerns about this issue, please feel free to contact me at (720) 514-7279.
