DISH Network Billing and early termination fee

On Dec 23 2023 I talked to Dish sales person about getting Dish. We agreed on a package and he told me I could try it for 15 days and if I wasn’t happy with it I could cancel without a problem. We were on a recorded line. He did not tell me there would be a termination fee after the 15 days he told me I could try. I called to cancel and was charged $480 termination fee. Since I was told 15 days I thought he meant it. I asked for my case to be submitted to the review department. I reinstated my account on the hopper thinking I would wait to hear from the review department. I received my billing and they started a new subscription. I called to inquire as to why my bill went up. When I reinstated they started a new contract and all my promotional rates went away. I asked about canceling and was told I would have to pay another early termination fee. I never received any disclosures when the restarted a new contract. My install date was 12/23/2023 and I asked for cancellation on 12/28. Two termination fees for 7 days is very poor business practices

Desired outcome: Cancel service without a new termination fee

The first ETf would be overturned once restarted, but cancel again, and it will reapply. It doesn’t matter what anyone says, however had you read what you were signing you would see that there is no grace period. They will honor 24 hours as a courtesy, but once signed and in effect, the terms apply.

DISH Network Dish service

Called to cancel service as where my mother is moving to dosent allow dish service. After going around and around with customer srv and there wanting to just move service I was transferred to a supposedly manager. Gave me name as JAMES and id 9YF. James would cancel service but there was a ETF for doing this. Claiming my 90yr old mother had agreed to a contract in Aug. She never knowingly agreed to such and was put in this new contract unwillingly. Let alone she knew she would be moving within 3-4mths.

James was unwillingly going to help us.

Nor would he transfer us to someone who could help and would not provide information to how we could submit a complaint. He said it stops here with him. No one else could help with our request or issues.

I please need the ETF waived. It was never right to add it to this account. When it was unknowingly know was being added.

Desired outcome: ETF CORRECTED

DISH Network Cancel

Hi, Dish Network charged me 265.00 for closing the account which is not in my name! When ask Dish to provide that information about the CC oh we don't that! So I'm out 265.00 now having to get many people looking into all this! I'm disabled having to deal with dishonesty This CC has never been used one time to pay them. So I call and check my balance and money was gone. No notice that the money was being withdrawn. Terrible company and now I see why so many lawsuits. Timothy L Bradley

Claimed loss: 265.00

Desired outcome: Refund

It’s not the card that is used for billing that they charge. When you got service, or upgraded, they asked for a card to place on file. This would be stored to cover costs on your account, when you cancel, per the agreement. If you’re saying someone used your card to qualify for their Dish account, you need to file an identity theft afadavit. If you allowed someone to qualify with your card, then that argument is between you and that person.

DISH Network Sign up and local networks in our area 89421

There seems to be a disconnect with dish tv cust. Service and when the installer tech arrives. Last time we had a dish tech here the set up sheet did not have what we had agreed to on the paper. So kicked the installer out.

Have direct tv and have had a price increase so looking at dish tv for a sign up but can't seem to get our local stations on paper, reno network and stations. Our zip is 89421 at 350 jaca rd. Had a phone call today with dish customer service and the person would not send me a agreed to sign up program sheet with local stations on it. Asked to send a usps letter or email on our agreement and was told could not do that and stated it would be a done deal if we get a invoice with an agreed to local stations and basic set up for $84.00 for one tv. Can't believe a word the cust. Service dept says. So have to have it in writing!

Desired outcome: Sign up with an agreed to local channels programing

The agreement guarantees no channels, and locals are designated by the FCc. They can’t and won’t send you your request for those reasons. You can review the agreement online at their website.

Your local Fox affiliate decided you don’t pay enough. Dish has told them you pay too much already. The affiliate took their channel away until an agreement can be made. This all happened because of a rule and law put in place in 1992. Your issue is with Congress and the channel owner.

DISH Network Service

X rated movies are showing up under free movies again that are not blocked to children.

On Dish Network, when you go to the on demand section, under free movies there are X rated movies listed. One is Erotic Eats and the other is Erotic Couture. Kids can access these movies without any restrictions even though I have parental blocking on for nudity and adult programs.

Desired outcome: Please stop X rated movies where children can view.

You’re going to be really disappointed, but you’re not on the winning side of that. There are many different reasons why, but let’s just say they are well protected and insulated.

As far as the collection goes, they are also in the right, there as well. You may feel wronged and not like the answer, but unfortunately for you, will remain true.

If you really want to catch up to speed on the arguments here, you should go to the Dish website, followed by /legal and read through all the documentation.

We had been with Dish network for over 15 years...8 years here in Oregon, 6 in New Jersey. The biggest complaint is the discontinuation of channels that were part of the original packaging when we signed up...namely Fox Sports. 60% of our viewing is sports and when we were told in Feb of 2023 we would not be getting the Super Bowl, we had it!

DISH Network refund that was not received.

On 9\15 a payment was taken out of my account then three days later another payment was taken out. I called them and told me they would refund it, but it will take up to 17 days to receive it. Well, here it is 11\07 and still no refund I have talked to them and told me it was processed on 9\18. That's all the info that they have and for me to talk to my bank. They told me to wait 17 days for refund.

DISH Network Charged for Pay Per view that was not ordered or watched..

Dish charged for Pay per view for a fight that neither my husband or I ordered or watch and refused to credit us 53 dollars in October of 2023.

They were extremely unprofessional on the phone and refused to put us thru to a manager.

We have been a customer for 25+ years and have never had issues but the customer service is unacceptable especially for a customer with this history with Dish.

Claimed loss: 53 dollars

Desired outcome: Credit the 53 for a service we did not use or request.

DISH Network Commercials and movies

Dish should QUIT paying ACTORS to do their commercials & give the customers credit for these overpaid people.

David Bromstad is DISGUSTING! & embarrassing. You are PUSHING this gay guy on your customers. Shame on you.

You should label ANY AND ALL movies with a rating have GAY & LESBIAN scenes in them or put in the INFO about the movies that there are Gays & Lesbians in them. Please quit pushing this type of lifestyle on people. If you want this type of crap shown to people, make a QUEER channel so that only these types of movies are on them. Frustrating to be watching a movie & BAM there are queers kissing or hugging or holding hands, etc. Please quit doing this to us!

Desired outcome: I would like movies with queer scenes removed from any of my programming.

Dish doesn’t label any movie or show. That’s done by the channel owner, and the MPAA.

As for crediting the customers… that would be less than $0.01/customer, so not sure the appreciation would be there. Especially as advertising is meant to, you know, bring in new customers. Wild shot in the dark, but you’re not in a business setting for your employment, are you?

DISH Network Not forthcoming with $300 gift card

I called from an internet site of dish around the beginning of September. they told me that there was a $300 gift card for signing up. I completed the sign up, and have been billed twice, but still no card. Called today 10/30, and they said there's no gift card associated with my account, and they cannot do anything about it unless I have a information that was sent through the mail. I don't have anything like that. So was this just an enticement to get people to change.

Desired outcome: I would like to get my $300 gift card for signing up.

DISH Network Fix channels without nudity from being blocked.

We have our channels blocked for nudity but there are a lot of channels that don't have nudity that are showing blocked, for example the Hallmark Channel, LMN and others. When you enter the code you can watch these programs and there is no nudity in them. Please fix this issue so other family members can watch programs that have no nudity.

I keep getting a message saying you need more information but it doesn't say what additional information you need.

There is nothing to fix. If the rating lists that from the MPAA, the system will respect that. Contact the channel owners for an update on their MPAA ratings.

Interesting considering I am a customer as well. You are the perfect example of the rude, arrogant, stuck up customers who do not understand what you’re paying for and then get mad when someone explains it to you. Facts don’t care about feelings, no matter how upset that gets you.

Why would they reimburse you for something you’re not paying for? You don’t pay for any particular channel. And just like all providers, you agreed you expect no compensation.

DISH Network Not able to cancel service

I have been with Dish Network for 13 years with cost of the service at $178 per month without one single premium channel. I called to cancel the service 3 times, also my husband called to cancel and ask for return box for receiver. After two weeks I get another bill. I was furious! I called again and a woman rep told me we owe $134. The app said five hundred and some cents, was transferred I’m guessing to try to keep us as a customer, was told theee hundred something and that he could cancel us now…I asked two months prior to be cancelled and was not! We did owe a $178 bill at the time I first asked to be cancelled and for a return box for equipment. We were not under contract anymore and I want these other charges taken off our bill immediately! Dish refuses! We just got the return box(6 weeks later) and I just know they will try to say the didn’t recieve the box. I did keep proof that it was shipped through UPS. What can be done with this shady company? I was also told I would have to pay for shipping equipment back including the dish in my yard! I told rep to send a tech that brought it here to come get it and he said he couldn’t do that. It will be a cold day in hell before I pay to ship this crap back to them after them charging me $10 a month for several years for this mess that should be paid for by now. I will NEVER use them again nor recommend this company to anyone. They are scam artists and terrible company who doesn’t give one damn about loyalty to long time customers! I hope they do try to bill me further I will sue the hell out of them and complain to the FCC about their unscrupulous business practices!

Desired outcome: Take the charges off my bill when I did not have service!

You won’t sue anyone. Contrary to your belief that you weren’t in a contract, you’re always in one. What you mean is you’re no longer in a term commitment, which is completely different. You also agreed(read your service agreement) that you would bear sole responsibility for the return(including cost).

Your $10/month fee wasn’t for the equipment. It was for the service the equipment offered. You haven’t paid a dime towards the equipment. The FCC will tell you the same, but your lawyer will be the one to tell you that you can’t sue them. You, and all customers, have an arbitration clause.
