DirecTV Finds A New Way To Cheat,|Customers Claim In Class Action

OKLAHOMA CITY (CN) - The latest federal class action against DirecTV accuses the company of automatically extending customers' contracts by 18 to 24 months each time they replace an inoperable receiver, and charging "early cancellation" fees of $360 to $480 if they cancel before the extended contract expires.

This is the 43rd class action against DirecTV in the CNS database since 2004.

Plaintiffs are represented by Kent McGuire with White & Weddell.
