DIRECTV Disconsolations

Prior to this correspondence, in a telephone conversation I asked the CBE Group to send me a copy of the bills I was supposed to owe.  I had asked this of Direct TV some time before, but never received anything. This is the second letter to CBE Group Inc.:

Folks,

Thanks for sending the numbers along.  Somehow I never got this correspondence from Direct TV - perhaps my fault; perhaps some of their malarky.

In any case, the numbers corroborate my statement that I was being charged more than the $19.95 + $4.99 + tax (around $27.00) that I was assured by a phone representative of Direct TV would be my total monthly bill (with no hidden charges).  My own bank statements, as well as your paperwork, corroborate that I was paid up per agreement for the  entire time that the service was turned on.  I have 2 witnesses that can corroborate my impression immediately after I came off the phone dialog with the Direct TV representative in which I terminated the trial movie channels introductory offer and negotiated my new monthly bill.  I can and will use these witnesses for public or legal support in my grievance against Direct TV - and the CBE Group for their collusion with them.

I’ve got the empty boxes Direct TV sent to me with the 2 receivers sitting on top of them ready to be shipped out.  I will do this as soon as I’m sure I’ve heard the last of Direct TV - and the CBE Group.

Again I warn you not to turn my name into any credit bureau for faulty payments against you.  I have never frailed to pay a legitimate bill I have incurred in my entire 60 years of life.  Should you make public implications that I have now just done so, I will consider this slanderous, and will take whatever further steps necessary to cause anguish to any of those who make these statements against me.

Get off my back!  Then, wander into some support group for reptilian corporate extortionists for a group hug, and mabe a good cry, then get on with your cold-blooded, civilization-killing, individual soul-destroying, profiteering lives.

The CBE Group dropped my case after these few correspondences and telephone conversations.  I was rather proud of myself for convincing a debt collection agency that their case was unjust, and with the passing of a couple of quiet months, I had some hope that the corporate illuminati functionaries at Direct TV had joined hands with their hired guns at CBE Group and gone together to a rap group for corporate reptiles for a healing group hug and cry to bemoan their failed attempt at extortion.  But, oh no!
