The salesmen are unethical. They are going around switching customers from Dish to DirecTV, and vice versa, which is a violation of their retailer agreement. The salesman told me that DTR was going to handle the cancellation of my DirecTV service, arrange for a box to be sent for the DVR, and pay off the cancellation fee. None of which happened.
Then I get phone calls from DirecTV trying to collect on the Overdue Service Fees and Late fees from a service I thought had been cancelled. Sure, I guess I should have known better. I should have cancelled the service myself and arranged for the box. But I thought that stuff was all taken care of.
DirecTV was gracious enough to reverse the cancellation fee for me, but I still owe them for the service I didn't, and in fact, Couldn't use. My advice, to people who may be as gullible as I apparently am, is don't buy anything a door to door salesman is selling, or Record the conversation. read more
