Today, October 29, 2009, in the mail I received a bill from Direct TV, which I have canceled subscription in August, for a Pay Per View charge.

I have never ordered pay per view and I made that very much clear to the first and second person and that I had canceled my subscription in August.
They gave me the run around saying that someone else in my household ordered the movie. No, just me, unless the dogs somehow managed to learn how to turn on the TV and order movies and for some reason wanted to watch human porn.
Yes, the fraudulent charge was for a pornographic movie.

I was transfered to someone else and the second person I talked to told me something rather interesting, that the charge was in fact from 3 1/2 years ago.
Amazing that after 3 1/2 years a charge would suddenly appear!

I talked to four people in over half an hour that said they couldn\\t dismiss the charge and that I had to pay it or they would, in their own words, ruin my good credit.
I was finally able to talk to someone that didn\\t speak softly in a nigh incomprehensible accent, and that person looked up something on her computer and told me that the charge was mistaken and that it had been recredited after it was sent out.

After telling her that her staff is incompitent, I wish I could use more flavorful words but she was actually helpful out of that whole lot of idiots, I made that clear that she was helpful and that their staff needs to be retrained.

I got her name and number, I just wish I had a recorder to record my phone calls since they obviously cannot locate, access or find their own.


I just want to know how many people, for lack of a better word, they stole from by doing such a thing hoping for people\\s complaisance.
