A California family grieving over the loss of their 102-year-old matriarch was further distraught when they found out that DirecTV had allegedly charged an early termination fee after she died.
Since Albright died in December, her family has been repairing her home to put it up for sale, sifting through her belongings and settling her accounts. They were shocked when they noticed an extra charge for $160 from the satellite broadcast service. Although Albright had been using DirecTV for many years, her family had recently added an extra cable box to place in a back room when they or other caregivers came to stay. Unbeknownst to them, this addition sparked a new two-year agreement, but when asked for proof that they'd agreed to a new contract, DirecTV couldn't come up with it, Manrique said.
In addition, DirecTV informed the family that they would still have to pay the fee -- despite Albright's death -- because the account had been transferred to her daughter's name, Manrique said. However, the family only did so because Albright was no longer able to pay her own bills, he said.
