Investigation Details
Investigation of claims of consumers that DirecTV is imposing early termination fees on its customers who discontinue DirecTV's services before the expiration of the alleged term commitment. Consumers claim that DirecTV withdraws the early termination fees and other amounts allegedly due directly from its customers' bank accounts or credit cards without consulting the customers or otherwise obtaining their consent. The early termination fees can be as high as $480, and bear no relation to the damages, if any, incurred by DirecTV in connection with the early termination of service.
