Over the past 3 years, there has been much upheaval regarding the services of DirecTV. People have complained that the satellite TV provider is following malpractices and deceiving subscribers in more than one ways. Although initially, since the humble inception of satellite TV providers in the United States of America, there was much hype regarding its programming packages, advertisements, services and equipment, but slowly people are coming face-to-face with the harsh business realities. Consumers have gradually understood that these providers are taking undue advantage of their loyalty and belief.

No doubt, we have known that business is after all business, and it needs huge revenues to be in the lead. However, this does not call for staking brand identity and faith of subscribers. Profits can well be earned through fair trading. All these people believed what the company told them blindly, but once they subscribed to its services, they were taken for granted! Nevertheless, there is end to everything. Post a number of lawsuits and researches that revealed that truly the provider was bent upon misleading people, Attorney Generals and Better Business Bureau have finally settled the dispute by ordering it to pay whopping fine of $14.25 million and to pay restitution to those subscribers, who have been roped into DirecTV scams since 2007.

So, if you also think that you have been deceived by this popular satellite TV provider in America, DirecTV, then you can claim compensation right away. It’s your right and you should ask for it. You will have to lodge a complaint with the AG’s office in California to get your claim. The last date of filing complaint is June 9, 2011. And for those of you, who are non-resident of California, will have to contact AG in your state to confirm whether or not you qualify for restitution.
