Rough Times? DirecTV is Paying Attention
Ok, so this is a little embarrassing but I’m going to share it anyway. A few days ago, I missed playing my DirecTV bill. It is a bit behind, mostly because of going to Kansas 3 times since March because of my dad’s passing. (Gas prices are painful on 500+ mile trips)
But I digress. DirecTV called me yesterday morning and asked me why I had fallen behind, because it was unusual for me to do so. I said yeah, things are just tight right now, gas prices, electric bills, food, etc. They said, they understood and asked if I would be able to pay X amount by the 8th of August. I said that shouldn’t be a problem. Their response was to forgive Y amount of the past due (About 1/2 of the due amount) and to turn my services back on.
I was shocked. Floored, almost speechless. For a Big Evil Corporation to notice and give a crap that the rest of us are struggling really says something. Makes me glad that I’m a customer, and that’s saying something.
