That's why is good to call Directv first with RID number Before you buy, so you won't run into issues like thisYup getting my money back. Receiver was on previous account that went to collections. When I called before I called I was told that I was good to go. The rep tonight said the receiver has to be owned to avoid a contract renewal. He said it can't be new.

Because any seller could put owned in their description, but until Directv verifies it and confirms is owned with no account balance due, then it's safe to buy, Even in garage sales they could get you that way because they(owner) were not aware that it can't be sold while not active on his/her account when it was leased.
