DISH = YOU GET DISHED

I find it interesting that you can signn up for a service and they tell you it is pay as you go, and when you call in and tell them you want to discontinue the service and the person on the phone says it is suspended and you will not be charged , yet you get a bill two months later, that you owe for two months.
I told the person at dish We were going off the service and wanted it discontinued and so we assumed they had stopped our servie . then we get a bill, which we were told we would not get for 99.00
Here is the things to be careful of when it comes to DISH.....
When you call in have them send you a confirmation that you were atually discontinued and that you would not be billed any further until you reactivae the service.
2. Do not assume they actually keep their word. keep checking and make sure they do what they say.

3. STOP USING DISH AND GO TO SOME ONE WHO WILL ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL DO AND NOT TRY AND RIP OFF THEIR CUSTOMERS.
Just a bit of advice from the RV traversals out there
SO I CALLED DISH. AND THEY SAID TWO WAYS TO DO THIS. PAUSE THE SETVICE FOR 6 MPNTHS FOR 5.00 A MONTH WHICH IS 30.00 OR PAY THE 99.00 AND CANCEL THE SERVICE,  WHICH IS WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO DO IN jANUARY.....RIP OFF. STAY AWAY FROM DISH. THEY ARE A SCAM
