DIRECTV Customer ServiceDear Nerissa,

Thank you so much for your prompt and respectful response. However, I
cannot include my account number…I DON’T HAVE ONE. That was kind of
the whole point. The good news is that my son received no phone calls
today. So I do believe that my issue has been resolved (HALLELUJAH)
but I have to tell you that I wouldn’t get involved with your company
if you guys were paying me. I HATE my cable company, their service
sucks, but this experience has proved to me what I suspected to be
true…companies like yours just collect cash and don’t respect the
people who work so hard to earn that cash.

I thank you personally for your time and consideration. I seriously
doubt that “management” will care about any inconvenience to my
family. After all, they don’t pay particularly good attention to the
consumers who write them checks.

God Bless you and continue to encourage you in the no win job that you
have. Tough job justifying a company like that. I salute YOU but
respectfully maintain…

DIRECT TV SUCKS.
