The only time a well pointed dish will fade out from weather is for 5 or 10 minutes during a serious thunderstorm like went thru Arkansas this past night. Normal clouds and rain have no effect on reception of a well pointed dish. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1302603 United States04/26/2011 02:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Get a bank statement. Get all of the records of your "contracts". Do the math. If it works on your side.... Tell them there's an error and this should be corrected. Like, if you paid for $20 worth of gas and the "machine" charges you for $40, you could go complain to them right? so go do that. if they don't. then call the cops. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1302603 United States04/26/2011 02:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So then I filed a small claims court case at my local district court. It only cost like $30 to file. A week before our court date, I received a call from DirecTV's legal department, she was nice as could be. She actually asked ME if I would be willing to dismiss the case if they refunded my $200 early termination fee. She also said they would reimburse me $40 for my court costs. My money has been refunded, and now my nightmare with this horrible company is over. I encourage ALL of you having similar problems with early termination fees or any other bogus charges they've nailed you with to do this as well. I did not have my credit card company reverse the charges, because DirecTV will send you to collections, and that's a whole other nightmare to deal with. Instead, just file a small claims case if you have a legitimate cause, and if they show up you will then likely win anyway, but chances are they will call you and settle up. Got this from a blog. Wow that guy really gave in huh? I would sued their asshole hairs off. |

Quoting: Bugsy MoranI just got my tax refund back...That was it... I dont have money to invest... You can invest $50+ into CDs which have very good return rates. I always keep the small shit I save looping through CDs. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1196791 United States04/26/2011 02:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i had this happen if you signed a contract with them they can legally do this even though it's crap but the only way i got around it was by closing my bank card down and claiming it was a fraudulent transaction to the bank card department. So i had to wait for them to send me out a new card but guess what they can't touch my account now so it worked. Whatever debit card/credit card number you give them that is where they will take it out from. They have tons of complaints against them just like the story you told so it's nothing new. Watch those contracts! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1295460 United States04/26/2011 02:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have done this several times when you "Must" give a credit card/debit card for something. I give them the card and within a couple days I call and report the card lost or stolen and get a new card w/ a different number. I have been doing this now for about 8 years and have never had any surprise withdrawals. May want to consider it next time you are required to provide a card for some type of service. |
