      Due to the recent Dish outage, I could not pay my bill. I had gone paperless per request several months ago. Their website said that a paper bill would arrive and I could pay online with the account number on the paper bill. They stated they would not charge late fees. I received a PDF of the bill via email two days ago with a late fee. I received a paper bill today. I have paid the bill and the fee, I wanted to file this complaint to let everyone know that they cannot trust what Dish promised. I am now considering moving to another company. I have been a long time customer.

      Approximately one month ago Dish network failed to provide agreed upon services rendered. I am not able to update my Local channels on The Dish Network due to the app not working properly. Since services rendered did not provide services all channels possible, I think a refund is the least this company can provide. AlsoThe lack of being able to provide answers to PAYING CUSTOMERS BUT STILL ABLE TO BE SURE PAYING CUSTOMERS CAN PAY THEIR ***** Its seems as though Dish is not concerned about the PAYING CUSTOMERS AS MUCH AS THEY ARE GETTING PAID. WE HAVE NO WAY TO CONTACT DISH AND NO WAY TO GET ANSWERS BUT THEY SYRE MADE SURE WE KNOW HOW TO PAY THE ***** Also the wait times for this joke of a network at last check today was 90 NINETY minutes. Unacceptable!Do better Dish!!

      On April 12, 2023, we received your complaint, dated March 21, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you changed the service address on the account, but your local stations did not change over to the new address. You requested a refund. You also attempted to contact customer service, but were unable to. 

      On February 23, 2023, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers, and internet sites. As a result of this incident, some of our customers were having trouble reaching our service desks, accessing their accounts, and making payments.

      I applied a credit of $12.00 to your account equal to one month of the Local Channels package.

      3/20/23 - deceptive practice for unable to cancel subscription on Dish Network I have been trying to cancel my Dish Network subscription for almost a few weeks now. I called and tried on their Dish Network website, but there is no option to allow you to cancel my subscription. I have asked to postpone my subscription, so I didn't pay much last year before I went on vacation. Now I trying to cancel my subscription permanently. Due to their system problem, their phone number doesn't work, and their website doesn't have an option to cancel. If they can ask people to pay for their subscription on their website, I'm sure they can have an option for requesting cancellation. This is a very deceptive practice on their part. I think the BBB needs to investigate and ask for clarification. Do not tell me they are busy all the time but have time to collect people's money on the website. Don't we have a law to make sure their business is back to normal after a certain number of hours? Deceptive practice for consumers...

      You stated that you attempted to call our customer service department to cancel your service, but you were unable to do so due to our recent cybersecurity incident.

      Attempting to have Dish Network disconnect service since 2/23/23. Unsatisfied with service, paying for local channels not available due to contract dispute between Dish and local TV network providers for 3 months. This has been a yearly issue for 3 years now of interrupted service.Time line of attempts:2/23/23 Multiple attempts to call customer service ***** Or reach via Dish app., internet via Dish.com - all avenues..state "system failure ", call not completed due to tech difficulties. 2/27/23- Repeat calls attempted- systems failure - Certified letter sent requesting immediate disconnect of service sent to billing address in ********** and also Dish HQ in ********. Letters delivered via **** tracking on 3/3/23 &3/6/23 respectively. 3/1/23- Third attempt at phone calls, web address and Dish app. To reach customer service. 3/20/23- No response from certified letters. Again called customer service. Finally spoke with a representative , after 90mins on hold only to say he was unable to help or disconnect the service due to the fact that their systems are still down, to call back in 7 days to see if there system was operational then. His offer was 7 days of free service until I called back in 7 days. I made it Very clear I wanted my service terminated, 7 days would not change the situation!! Seems that you have no problems making a payment via phone, internet or Dish app. but are unable to discontinue their service. I am at the end of my patience, and think I am getting the "run around". I have tried every phone number I can find on the internet, written certified letters. I even asked this representative to confirm Dish HQ address, he said he would have to ****** it! I said don't bother I already did.Thank you for your assistance. Respectfully, *********************************

      Dear ****************:

      On April 12, 2023, we received your complaint, dated April 20, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You expressed concern that your service was interrupted on March 17, 2023. When you called in regarding this matter, you were referred to Frontier by DISH Network, but then Frontier refers you back to DISH Network.

      On February 23, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers, and internet sites. We immediately activated our incident response and business continuity plans to contain, assess, and remediate the situation. Cybersecurity experts and outside advisors were retained to assist in the evaluation of the situation, and we notified appropriate law enforcement authorities.

      Because of this incident, some of our customers are having trouble reaching our service desks, accessing their accounts, making payments, and in your case, our system did not push over the billing for February to Frontier, which caused the account to interrupt your nonpayment. As you called in to cancel your account, I have issued a corrective credit to not charge for service following the interruption on March 17, 2023.

      Once our system is able to, we will send you a shipping label to return the leased equipment (receivers and remotes only). Please return the equipment within 30 days to avoid unreturned equipment fees.

      We regret the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

      I am rejecting this response because: when I had first contacted dish network I was completely aware of a cyber attack d/t seeing the attack notification on the internet. With my first contact with dish network I had asked the rep if my service was affected d/t this cyber attack and I received a response  of no- my service was not affected from any cyber attack my service was turned off d/t a nonpayment of $24! I asked several other times to dish reps if it was a cyber attack and they all continued to tell me no! All dish reps continually told me it was lack of payment that had my service e interrupted in fact the last rep from dish I spoke to continually asked me for a credit card number to restore my service! I understand cyber attacks happen through no fault of anyone but I was never told that was the case with my service being turned off!! I dont feel I should have to pay for service that I paid for and they mistakenly shut off and continually demanded a credit card number from me to restore my service.

      I've been trying to cancel service since late February/early March (shortly after the cybersecurity incident). At first, there was no customer service ... and then customer service but no cancellation department. Then on March 9th I got to the cancellation department and a representative made a notation that I wanted to end service, but said I would need to call back on March 20th to "complete" the transaction. Today I attempted to call back and was placed on 1.5 hour hold--first to speak with general customer service and then be transferred to the cancellation department. Despite marketing to new customers and taking pay per view orders by phone, this company is giving me no way to cancel service. And, to top it off, they autobilled my credit card again 2 days ago. I request that the charge be reversed and my account closed.

      On April 12, 2023, we received your complaint, dated March 20, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You requested to disconnect your service, but you have been unable to get a hold of customer service. You also disputed AutoPay and requested a refund.

      A review of your account shows that it was disconnected on March 27, 2023, with a zero balance. The leased equipment does not need to be returned.

      When you enrolled in AutoPay, you gave us permission to withdraw the account balance on the bills due date. I am unable to issue a refund, as the payment went towards service provided.

      On February 23, 2023, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers,and internet sites. Because of this incident, some of our customers are having trouble reaching our service desks, accessing their accounts, and making payments. We are making progress on the customer service front every day,including ramping up our call capacity, but it will take a little time before things are fully restored.

      Horrible customer service. I've been a Dish customer for years. I've been trying to cancel service since February 28, 2023. I've tried to go online, Web site is down.

      Dear ****************:

      On April 12, 2023, we received your complaint, dated March 20, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said you attempted to contact DISH Network to cancel your account, yet you were unable to get assistance. You expressed concern with the customer service you experienced. You requested your account be disconnected and the billing be backdated to February 28, 2023.

      On February 23, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers, and internet sites. We immediately activated our incident response and business continuity plans to contain, assess, and remediate the situation.

      As a result of this incident, some of our customers are having trouble reaching our service desks, accessing their accounts, and making payments. We are making progress on the customer service front every day, including ramping up our call capacity, but it will take a little time before things are fully restored.

      Our records indicate that your account was disconnected on March 25, 2023. A credit has been issued to backdate your billing to February 28, 2023, and a $56.45 refund has been submitted. Please allow up to 19 business days for the refund to be processed. Your account is at a zero balance.

      We will send you a box and return label with which to return your leased equipment (receivers and remotes only), which will arrive within 30 to 60 days. Please ensure the equipment is returned to avoid unreturned equipment fees.

      Sincerely,

      I have been a Dish Satellite customer for over 2 years. The program lineup has dropped to important channels, maybe more **** and MeTV. They say they are in negotiations with them but nothing has yet. I have tried to contact them for months but they keep saying they have technical difficulties and to go online. When going online all they have is payment request. I have wanted to cancel service for over month,but unable to speak with anyone. I did get ahold of a customer service agent once after waiting on hold for 60 minutes and was told she was unable to connect to the system though she said the system will be operational on 3/19/2023. Now the phone system tells theres a 113 minute wait. After waiting 60 minutes it disconnected me! I have no options

      Dear ********************:

      On April 12, 2023, we received your complaint, dated March 20, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You requested to disconnect your service, but you were unable to get a hold of customer service.

      A review of your account shows you spoke with an agent on March 30, 2023. They offered you a Preferred Customer Offer, which you accepted.

      On February 23, 2023, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers, and internet sites. Because of this incident, some of our customers are having trouble reaching our service desks, accessing their accounts, and making payments.

      My March payment was to auto debit on 3-16-23 from my checking account by Dish Network. It should debit every month on the 16th. It did not debit from my checking account on 3-16-23. Never happened before. No communication from Dish. On 3-17-23 I received a bill from Dish in the mail. I don't receive bills in the mail. Strange! I knew nothing as to what was going on. I am never past due. I went to my account online and could not get into my account. I called there number and was 180 minutes holding on the phone. No answered the phone. No message telling me what is going on. Now I am panicked. Can't reach Dish any way, anyhow! I go online and find you can make an online payment with just the credit card number and your Dish account number. So I did. I paid ****** on 3-17-23 and received a confirmation number. I was uncomfortable but I did it. I checked all weekend online and still could not signon or reach Dish by phone. This morning I look at my Bank checking account and there I see a debit of ****** 4 days late as an auto debit by Dish. Immediately, I try to signon and still no way to look at my account. I try to call them today after waiting 120 minutes, still not able to reach Dish by chat, online or phone. I am very uncomfortable as I can't see if 2 payments were posted and can't view what is going on on my account. There is no communication to me from Dish! What is going on!

      Dear ****************:

      On April 12, 2023, we received your complaint, dated March 20, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You expressed concern that your automatic payment had not been withdrawn on the due date causing what you claimed is an extra payment. You also expressed concern that you were unable to log into your online account to confirm payment received.

      A review of your account shows we received two payments on March 17, 2023, for $150.18. 

      On February 23, 2023, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers, and internet sites. Because of this incident, some of our customers are having trouble reaching our service desks, accessing their accounts, and making payments.
