DirecTV Paying $5.35 Million for Violating Do Not Call List
Tuesday December 13, 2005
Satellite TV provider DirecTV has agreed to pay $5.35 million to settle claims that the company violated the national do not call list. The settlement now goes before a judge for final approval.
The Department of Justice filed the suit after complaints that DirecTV's five telemarketing companies called consumers on the Do Not Call registry in October 2003. That's the same month the list's rules went into effect.
In another suit, DirecTV also announced it will reimburse customers in 22 states over complaints of deceptive advertising. The company says it will make its special offers and advertising more clear in the future.
