Investigation has found that Consolidated Smart Systems, a third-party dealer of DirecTV that contracts with multiple dwelling units (e.g., apartment buildings), takes advantage of residents who are “stuck” with Consolidated by: (a) charging for services that DirecTV advertises as free (for instance, charging for installation of DirecTV even though DirecTV advertises free installation), (b) charging unauthorized fees without adequate disclosure, and (c) continuing to charge for services even after residents have moved out of the apartment building.   Residents of these multiple dwelling units are, therefore, forced to pay Consolidated in addition to paying DirecTV for DirecTV’s services. 

If you or someone you know has been charged by Consolidated for unauthorized fees, contact a California class-action attorney to discuss your legal options.
