Strong words for you. Kudos for not saying the eff word! @pat Exactly. That was my biggest problem with this ~among many~ and the lady at the bank said this is common with "cable companies." The bank will "file a claim" if the charge doesn't come off. I'm hoping it will though, as it's still marked "pending" today after yesterday's transactions went through. I just want this to be over. @linda Well, like I said, everything was fine until about a month ago, and as bad as it is, the cable company sucks pretty hard too.

@pat Exactly. That was my biggest problem with this ~among many~ and the lady at the bank said this is common with “cable companies.” The bank will “file a claim” if the charge doesn’t come off. I’m hoping it will though, as it’s still marked “pending” today after yesterday’s transactions went through. I just want this to be over.

F them so hard. I would enumerate my complaints with them, but I just don't have the time. Suffice to say that we canceled our DirecTV account almost a year early, preferring to incur the ETF rather than spend another day dealing with this company's assholery and insults to my intelligence. Problem is, neither Comcast nor Verizon (the other two major carriers in my neck of the woods) are much better, but at least Verizon hasn't tried any of the stupid stunts that DirecTV did.

I am sitting next to my fiance as he is on the phone with Directv right now... Your page loaded and I laughed aloud! I guess this is an indication of how that is going to go.
