Anyone Know how to handle a fraud account? How to get a hold of the right Dept..
Yes, I have the same problem. I ve been dealing with this since Nov. and this is for Direct TV not for a cell phone. I have been with service for more than 15 plus years. Never been late on any payment always 5 days before my payment is due. I do have all the Premium package pay good money. Now they are saying I have a second account that I set up at the same address where I live at, where I have my service already set up and I did not understand how this happened. When I got an email from Direct TV saying I owe $765, I was thinking its my card needs to be updated in the system. So when I called in Nov and ask billing dept about this email they said I was current, so I ask why I did I receive this email for this amount. I seen an account number of the last for in the email. Which I gave to them and then they found a second account, which I did not know about. At that point I ask for a manager to get this resolved 2 and half hours later he said all charges of $765 dollars will be waived on Dec 21,2020. Then in Jan I received another email saying now I owe $1014 dollars at this point I was really upset he didn't even close the account at the time I spoke to that manager in Nov. Its been almost a week trying to get this resolved I talk to the fraud dept of billing his name was Travis manager, he told me to go to directtv.com/notmyaccount to fill out this application to send it to the Dept of Theft of Identity. Then I received a email from them on the 01/21/2021 saying they are unable to review the case at this time. So they gave me a contact number 1-877-379-2319 I called and they just told me to bleep off, I mean the representative was rude and told me since I Ive been living there at the time this happened I am still responsible because under some law. I told her I've been with Directtv for 15 plus years never been late on any payments and paid 5 days a head. This is how you treat a good paying customer and loyal customer that has been with direct for several years. I told her I am in the process in getting a lawyer, and she proceed to say go ahead to get a lawyer to she will tell you the next steps on handling this. Then she said this is a Dealer Fraud and she sent me to supposedly to the fraud billing dept again, now at this point I now know I am going in circles. Now I speaking to another person and this is not evening the right department and I got transfer again to the billing they could do anything either so the person gave me another number to call. All this I took 2hrs out of my work time to accomplish nothing! Its been like this since Nov. Now I have to call tomorrow to see what they tell me on that number which is 1-877-379-2319 lets see who I get tomorrow. Once i get this resolved I am dropping Directtv its sad to say this is horrible. Long life customer they just lost. Anybody has feed back let me know. Thank you

Yes www.directv.com/notmyaccount is the correct webform for their fraud/identity theft team. Best to use that to start, as their department runs closer to traditional business hours as opposed to the rests of customer support.
Remember that is DirecTV not Direct TV. Only one T in the brand. If you went to a site with a double T, then that was a fake site and your information is now compromised.
