THE NIGHTMARE CONTINUES WITH DIRECTV!

Okay, I've explained in a prior post why I detest DirecTV. Since I never felt like anyone there was ever listening when I tried to explain the situation, I wrote an official (yet heartfelt) letter to DirecTV when I cancelled my service. They never even acknowledged it. They did have the nerve to send me a bill for over $400 - an early termination fee ("ETF"), which I'd already addressed in my letter. (Psssst: For those just tuning in, I'm not paying it. I never signed a contract with them, and they never delivered uninterrupted service to my home for even ONE FULL DAY during the entire 3+ weeks we had them.) I thought the issue was resolved. How wrong I was - now DirecTV has actually placed this matter with a third-party collection agency! The nerve! This means I have to write ANOTHER letter, this time to the collection agency, explaining that I won't deal with any third-parties in this matter.

In other states, the courts have declared DirecTV's ETFs to be excessive and unwarranted. Hopefully, Texas will soon follow suit - at least, if the politicians in Texas figure out that their campaign money may come from corporations, but the votes come from PEOPLE.

We'll see what happens!
