Suspensions

Im DONE with directv, they repeatedly suspend my service, AFTER i pay my bill, and will not remove the charges, IVE BEEN WITH THEM FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND THIS YEAR THEY START DOING THIS CRAP, 1 guy even told me he was notating my acct to have thwm take the charges off since it wasnt added yet, and when i called in the next month to pay my bill, he lied, never notated anything, and then they do it to me again. I get NO notofocation of any suspension, until its suspended, and thwn thwy screw you with a charge, im going to HULU LIVE of this latest charge isnt taken off!!!

@tbulko1 if you have confirmed your payment method for DIRECTV services, then you will need to reach out to the retention department. Call DIRECTV (number in my greeting) and tell the robot 'cancel' to be sent to a real retention agent. On call, let them know that your payments are never counted toward your account and that your account is constantly suspended. Tell them that you will be cancelling if the payment will continually result in suspensions. They will take your concern seriously compared to a regular agent that claims to have 'noted' details. 

As this is a public forum, we are customers just like you who can't do much other than recommend a call to retention or verification of your payment method.

They are terrible, my service was interrupted last month because DirecTV people do not thoroughly communicate with one another, after a heated exchange on the phone they admitted fault and restored my service...now there blaming Tegna for channel removals...I call (Edited per community guidelines) it's DirecTVs problem and they NEED to compensate the customer on there bill for removal of channels, I don't care for any fine print in a 2yr contract either...we already pay outlandish amounts for satellite TV that most channels in there lineups are trash.....another example of a huge billion dollar company giving it to the man, all it takes is the customers to unite against this conglomerate company and force there hand to give customers discounts from removal of channels.

Because Tegna did remove the channels to DTV.  DTV has no control over what the channels send them.  That clause about channels and programing being subject the change at anytime is in the TOS you agreed to.  DTV is still giving a $10 credit to those that apply for it.
