Welcome to the DIRECTV Consumer protection Litigation Website.

This website provides information on the status of a number of civil class action lawsuits filed in response to the unfair business practices employed by DIRECTV Group, Inc.

Plaintiffs and potential class members in these cases have been subjected to various transgressions related to early termination fees, including:

• Failure by DIRECTV to disclose and/or disclose adequately the supposed term commitment associated with DIRECTV programming services;
• Failure by DIRECTV to disclose and/or disclose adequately that early termination fees would be charged if subscribers did not continue to subscribe to DirecTV's programming services for the alleged term commitment;
• Failure by DIRECTV to disclose and/or disclose adequately that early termination fees would be deducted directly from subscribers' bank accounts or credit card accounts in the event they chose to discontinue DIRECTV programming services during the alleged term commitment;
• DIRECTV enforcing unconscionable and unenforceable terms and conditions against subscribers, including terms and conditions that subscribers never agreed to.

This website is designed to provide potential class members and other interested parties with information about the suits and the progress of the individual cases, as well as a means to assist plaintiffs' counsel in prosecuting these suits on behalf of plaintiffs and potential class members.
