$288.69 in 23 days

I did a lot of research before switching to Directv. I made the mistake of not looking for Directv reviews and complaints. On march 20, 2023 I chatted with Bea on Directv's chat line from 3:46 PM until 5:29 PM, 1 hour and 45 minutes. He assured me he had checked all the 'promo' boxes concerned with my new account switching from Dish TV as he was signing me up for Directv. One of the promo boxes had to be filled as my order was being placed. I copied and pasted the entire chat. I tried getting into my new account March 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27, 2023, to make sure everything went as promised. Every time I called Directv I was informed it would take a few days for my account to be set up. The services were installed on March 22, 2023 between 12:00 and 4:00 PM as Bea arranged. My premium channels were not available as advertised in the promo. I called and was informed the premium channels were not part of the promo. After having to call a few different departments I got the premier channels activated. 3/25/23 @ 6:31 PM I spent 1 hour 28 min trying to get someone to verify all my promotions were applied and help me get into my account to make sure the rest of my promo boxes were checked. No one could help or tell me. On March 21, 2023 a bill was generated showing I was to pay $96.23 in addition to the $96.23 being paid through autopay before March 30, 2023 which I did not receive until March 26, 2023. The bill was for services "Mar. 21 - Mar. 21". Service didn't start until March 22, 2023. See Attached. 3/26/23 @ 2:19 PM immediately after reading my email I called Directv and spoke with Shelly for 1 hour 14 minutes. She informed me something was not right; just ignore the bill and she would put notes in my account stating any late fees were covered if any were added. She could not verify if my other proms were added to my account. I told her I just wanted out of my contract. She informed me I had 24 hours to get out, after that I would be charged $480.00. Below are some of the documented times I was calling trying to get my account straighten out on March 27, 2023; 3/27/23 @ 9:59 AM I was on the line with Directv for 20 min 3/27/23 @ 10:38 AM I was on the line with Directv for 1 hour 35 min 3/27/23 @ 12:22 PM I was on the line with Directv for 35 min 3/27/23 @ 4:14 PM I was on the line with Directv for 12 min I was told many different stories. No one could tell me if my other promos were added. One gentleman informed me he had been working for Directv for 12 years and the other people I had conversed with did not know what they were talking about. If I did not pay my bill twice, I would be charged a late fee. Autopay paid it once and he took my payment $96.23 for a second time. I finally got into my account and read the following; "Your last bill of $96.23 was for the period ending Mar 20." See Attached According to their statements I paid; "Your last bill of $96.23 was for the period ending Mar 20." The bill was for services "Mar. 21 - Mar. 21", I paid $192.46 for services before my service was installed. See attachments My next autopay will be for $96.23 due April 12, 2023, $288.69 in 23 days. How can this happen? What can a person do to protect themselves?

It ain't direct tv customer service!

I'm 67 years old and this is absolutely the worst company I've ever tried to do business with. I recommend using dish network or any other tv system. I have spent over 10 hours on the phone with their so-called called customer service. These idiots couldn't spell customer service! They sent for technicians to my home one of which made the system worse the other three did nothing at all! These are the facts. I don't even have to exaggerate to make them dramatically true. Avoid DIRECTV like the plague!!!

What is this from is what I'd like to know?

PLEASE READ. If you live in or around Raleigh, don't fall for the guys and girls with tablets…read morecoming around. Or at least some guy named Brandon (?). He is a manager of some sort. We signed an agreement for bundled service at a set price that we were very happy with. Wow did the nightmares start after that. DO NOT TRUST what they have you sign. Ours turned out to be useless. He didn't run anything through correctly, ATT&T depts don't let you email what you signed, they just tell you what they can see on their end. We spent no less than 10 hours on the phone over 2 weeks with dept after dept in a bureaucratic mess. I felt bad for the call center people who tried very hard but are stuck with what they are allowed to do even when they try to fix it and understand the ridiculousness of what happened. They said it's an issue with these neighborhood sales. You are taking a bet that any of it will actually stick. The useless contract you sign doesn't seem to go beyond their tablets. They either have to enter the deals they promised you later or you will just get a zero discounted, way more than whatever company you gave up, crazy bill. And then another and another in a short time. I am looking clearly at exactly what we signed but no one can do anything about it. And they do not accept emails. Minimum 2 hours at a time on the phone. Almost every day. Told repeatedly it's being escalated. Only to start over with the next agent/higher dept. Never fixed. No accountability. Ghosted by the manager who only left us with a girl he was training's number. She (Areli) seemed sweet but stopped responding when I said the department I was talking to was asking for his full name and contact information so they could clear this up. He clearly told her not to give it. Left decades with Verizon for this absolute nightmare that we still can't get out of.

For four months I have been getting the runaround and it's one excuse after another.

Upon coming across a couple issues with the install he was creative in developing appropriate solutions to ensure that the TV was mounted as I needed.  He also suggested alternative options to ensure that I was satisfied with the final outcome. He went the extra mile to develop a solution so that I had the best over the air TV I could possibly get at my location. His pricing was very fair even though he had to spend extra time to ensure everything was done to my satisfaction. He did not charge above his original quote. I would highly recommend him without hesitation.

As someone who was getting their tv mounted for the first time he talked through all the decisions of height, tilt, and how to minimize wall damage in our rental with me and gave me his expert recommendations given the layout of our room. He also went above and beyond for wire concealment and mounted our AT&T and roku boxes and power strip to the back of our tv to ensure the mounting was sleek and most importantly safe with all cords out of reach for our baby! He was also very thorough with each step, allowed me to inspect it to make sure I was satisfied, and ensured he cleaned up before he left. Highly recommend Ivan and his team!

But I was very impressed with the fact that an employee came up to me before it was my turn and asked what I needed, and told me if I wanted to skip the wait I could just turn my equipment into the mail, I believe at USPS free of charge. He was extremely polite, calling me ma'am and patiently hearing my story, as I'm quite the rambler. I let him know I was interested in other services as well, but that I appreciated it. At this time I was standing near the front of the store, where it was packed, and I set my equipment down on displays and stood to wait. He kindly let me know about the other section on the other side of the store I could wait it, and it was empty with plenty of chargers. I happily took my seat and waited. The gentleman appeared to be hispanic with curly hair and glasses, and a slightly heavier set build. I only mention this in hopes he gets recognition, because I didn't get his name and his kindness stood out to me. I sit, I wait, and an hour later I'm called up by one of the most pleasant customer service representatives I've ever met in my life. Her name is CRYSTAL - and she ROCKS. She was knowledgeable, quick, patient, and extremely personable. She seemed to be very wary of the long wait and valued my time, asking if I had any place to be because we had to wait for something for a few minutes. I let her know I was perfectly free and had no issue waiting a few more minutes. After all, I'm here for a service, I don't expect things to happen lightning fast. We had some confusion due to my own overdue bills and trying to determine what my balance was for the day. She made EVERY effort to double check every number and make sure I wasn't charged twice, and that my old balance was completely settled. Some people may get frustrated when employees ask someone else for assistance or advice, but to me - it tells me she CARES that it is done right and doesn't just wing it with every decision. She had a manager who was a middle aged white lady, again I forgot her name but she was also a complete pleasure. I let her know how awesome Crystal was as well. By the end of my time with Crystal I was informed, extremely happy with my services and new equipment, and damn near made a friend. We were laughing by the end of the transaction, and I almost wished I had more problems!! She let me know about why my old bills went up , which was because I had signed up on a promo but was never told when it would end. She didn't want to screw me for my money, she wanted me to be AWARE of when , how, and why my bill will change in two years. Effing outstanding.

I pay for the really good internet too, but multiple times a week theirs service outtages for any reason whatsoever. A little windy? Service outtage. A little rainy? Service outtage. Nice clear sunny day? Service outtage! It must be the infrastructure or something that they don't want to invest in. It must be cheaper to repair whatever the issue is every week than actually replacing, or moving it. As well, this company's representative ran my credit without my permission to offer me their (probably just as terrible) phone service. To add to this, after running my credit they automatically put me on some internet assistance program that temporarily made it cheaper, but he didn't tell me that he did that and acted like he was giving me a good deal until six months later my bill is fifty bucks higher than agreed. You would think during an age where everything relies on internet that they would figure this stuff out, but I have a feeling that it's just a cheap company that's selling garbage for a high profit. If you have the option to not give this company your business I suggest you go with someone else. The service interruptions are just way too frequent for said service to be considered "good".

So I found Cyber Dish online and gave them a call to come out and troubleshoot the problem. Chris came out, charged me $200, added an amplifier and moved the antenna around a bit in my attic (didn't actually mount the antenna, just laid it down against something, so it was pointing the desired direction). The signal strength seemed to be good on all of the channels, so I let him go. Then, just a couple of hours later, I started losing several of the channels again. It's arguably worse now than it was. This is all very intermittent. Sometimes they all come in clear, sometimes several go out. And of course, it's worse with the weather is bad. I also see that there is foil backed plywood all through the attic, and everything I read says that this is a huge blocker of digital signals. I reached back out to CyberDish, indicating that i was still seeing reception issues and voiced my concern about the foil backed plywood in the attic. I called Chris today and voiced my concerns. He gave me several things to try to troubleshoot the problem. All good things to try, but all along I'm thinking why after paying $200 is it my responsibility to troubleshoot this stuff. When I brought this point up on the call, that's when things went South. Instead of Chris just offering to come back out and make this right, it just turned into an argument. At one point, he said that it was working when he left. Seriously? He also said that the antenna could be faulty, as if to say that's not his responsibility. And let's see, he said that he's never had this issue with anyone else. OK, what's the point? I'll be happy to give Chris/CyberDish one more chance to make this right, and once this is working as it should, I'll be happy to alter my review. But as it stands, I cannot be more dissatisfied with not only the service, but also the follow-up.
