Direct TV breach of contract. Price increase middle of contract.

Also I signed up with AT&T & the contract was through AT&T so another reason to get out of the contract as I didn't make the contract with Direct TV.

I don't give a crap about the increase as I was told when I signed up with AT&T (not Direct TV I was not told it was really Direct TV until it was too late) your 2 year monthly cost would be $xxx.xx per month. Well they raised the price so that is a breach of contract. 

Also, I got nothing about the cost increase just a bigger bill. I guess they hope you won't notice or you have auto pay and they just take it!!!

Direct TV what do you have to say?

While AT&T owns 70% of DTV they are still a separate service and there is no contract with AT&T if you signed up for DTV and there is no price lock as DTVs standard new customer offer states that the first year is a discounted price that reverts to full price in the second. 

This is a customer to customer forum with only a few employees and the moderators that read these posts.  Check that DTV has your correct email address.

DTV's so called contract is only a commitment to keep DTV for 2 years or pay a fee there is no price lock.

A final comment on the recent DirecTV ownership change. The ownership of a company does matter; even if the company name and service agreement title stays the same. In reference to existing Residential Customer Agreements: novation and assignment need be considered. DirecTv appears to recognizes this:

DIRECTV Residential Customer Agreement

Effective as of November 1, 2020 until replaced
THIS DESCRIBES THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR RECEIPT OF
AND PAYMENT FOR DIRECTV® SERVICE.

CUSTOMER AGREEMENT

4. CHANGES IN CONTRACT TERMS
We reserve the right to change the terms and conditions on which we offer Service including adding new terms or deleting existing ones. We will provide you with notice of material changes either in your monthly bill or separately. You always have the right to cancel your Service, in whole or in part, at any time, and you may do so if you do not accept any such changed terms or conditions. See Sections 5(b), (d) and (e) below. If you elect not to cancel your Service after receiving a new Customer Agreement, your continued receipt of Service constitutes acceptance of the changed terms and conditions. If you notify us that you do not accept such terms and conditions, then we may cancel your Service as provided in Section 5.

I have limited interest in a forum where top members suppress complaints from users with irrelevant comments such as:

"... prices are subject to change. You may not like it, but it is the reality."
"... does not void your service agreement. This is how the real world works."
"It is not up to you who owns the business or who they share it with."

Adios,

Ferid

ps: I was able to resolve my problem on the phone in a few minutes.

Thanks for the replies...
