Investigation Details
This is an investigation and pending class action against DirecTV, challenging DirecTV's imposition of early termination fees against its customers.
The pending class action lawsuit contends that, under DirecTV's normal procedures, customers never enter into a valid contract agreeing to pay this type of charge. They also claim that, even if customers signed an agreement, the early termination fees constitute illegal punitive damages on customers.
The proposed class includes citizens of the State of California who are current or former DirecTV customers who have paid early termination fees or who may be subject to those fees in the future.
If you are or were a customer of DirecTV’s services and you have been assessed an early termination fee or a charge for non-return of equipment or you are currently in dispute with DirecTV over those types of charges, we would like to hear from you, regardless whether the service was provided in the State of California.
