Equipment serial numbers on my letter do not match with equipment I'm returning

I canceled my DirecTV and got a letter telling me to return two pieces of equipment. The serial numbers on the letter do not match the equipment I have.  What should I do

Letter only states a Model HR54-700  and a Model CW41W-100. - no descriptive name

Are those NOT your account? --

No - my account number is clearly stated at the top of the letter. The model numbers are for equipment return request items and are for two receivers - a large one and a smaller one.

Take your "letter" with your account code and go to any UPS store or FEDX Store and they will box it and ship it to D*TV.  Keep the tracking Number for your record

HR54 is the 3rd generation Genie so is definitely returnable. C41W is the 1st wireless Mini Genie Client which might not be returnable, but I would take it with the other one to be sure. To make sure there is no confusion, those are the model numbers, not the serial number (or access card number in the HR54).

How To Return The Equipment 

Go to a FedEx or UPS location with your account #. No need to bring a box or label, the equipment will be boxed it up & shipped out at no charge. The process takes less than 5 minutes.

The C41W is a wireless Mini Genie Client. This is a public forum of other customers so we cannot look up your account or return info.
