Fraud? are you kidding me??
I am in a similar situation. I have been with directv long past my 2 year contract and pay way more than what a new customer gets. I could easily switch to dishnetwork and get a comparable package for $30-40 cheaper per month or directv could allow me to sign up on a new 2 year contract and give me the new customer deals, right Let's be real everyone...do we really think directv would be willing to lose a customer to dishnetwork simply because they won't give the current promotion?? Either they make $0000 money or the new customer contract prices for 2 years...Why would the retention department really be willing to let this happen and let a customer cancel?? I think as long as the customer that is past his 2 year deal and is willing to sign another 2 year deal why not give him the current promotion with the current equipment?? As long as there is competition out there that is cheaper and gives the same product this will be a problem.
Wife signing up after husband cancels being called Fraud?? what a joke! Are you saying that his wife isn't her own person with her own real identity and Social security number with her own line of credit?? Can she not commit to her own contract? It's a new customer 2 year contract, not a household contract for anyone living at that address, no?
