Yea, you know those PPV's that they stopped doing after 2008? Our DirecTV bill says that we ordered it in September 2011. The only PPV we order these days is Wrestlemania, and we didn't even order it last year because I went to the show.
I think it's because we just recently had our boxes replaced. I remember looking through the PPV history of the one in my room one night and seeing all the PPVs I ordered in 2003. There were a lot of TNA ones and there was Unforgiven 2003. But I don't know why that would cause us to get charged for it again nearly 10 years later...anyone ever had this happen?

Hasn't happened to me, but I'm curious as to what your call to Direct TV went like.

The first call, I ended up speaking to somebody in India. He insisted that we had somehow watched the PPV without paying for it 9 years ago and that we were just now being billed because they retrieved the data off our old boxes after we upgraded. They eventually offered a 15 dollar credit meaning we still had to pay $20. I spoke to his supervisor and was told the same thing. I eventually hung up and called back. On the second call, I was speaking to a somebody with a clear English accent. He understood the problem and took the charge off our bill after like 10 minutes. So f***ing annoying.

So, you didn't have to pay anything, right?

AWKWARD CONTENT WARNING!
The same thing happened at my buddy's parents house last year when they finally got a new box. They got charged for some pornos his dad ordered many many moons ago.
Nothing like that ever happened to my family to my knowledge.

Similar non wrestling related story....
I have lovefilm streaming on my iPad which I pay for monthly.
Anyway I signed my dad into my account on his iPad so he can watch films for free. He doesn't realise it shows me on my settings what he has watched.....
So far: bare behind bares and the karma sutra! I don't have the heart to tell him.

^That's gross and amusing.
That's crazy DirectTV thought they could get away with charging you for a ppv from almost 10 years ago. Like you weren't gonna notice that $50 change in your bill?

Well it was $35 but get the point. What was even crazier is that it took like an hour to get them to credit it back to our account. We would drop them but theres no other viable options here. |
