its "gypped" with a G, for gypsys. apparently the gypsys ripped people off. also apparently not enough gypsys left to get offended by it.
Yes I understand but I don't see why I have to be punishned basically jsut b/c a previous user had a balance on the reciever. I don't think it's fair. I would think that dish would want me to have the reciever on my account knowing that I do pay my bill each month and I am not the account holder who ran up the bill, plus my accoutn is always in good standing. I jsut see know point in telling a customer that they can't activate a reciever on their account just because a previous account holder ( Who lied and swore up and down the reciever was clear) had a previous bill. Does anyone thing that this should be my fault, it's not me that ran up the $800 bill. All I did was pay for the reciever on amazon.com and was hoping to get it on my account, I guess that is jsut how dish is which sucks!

A balance of $800 can be owed if someone leased receivers from them and did not return them.
If they leased the recievers and didnt return them they would owe ALOT more than $800.00. I had a friend that didnt return a cable box once, they billed him for $2500.00 for the box
depends upon terms of service. If amazon allows fraud protection you may be able to get your money back. However, here's where you may be out of luck. Unless the seller specificaly mentioned and you can verify and document that the receiver must be usable on another account or "redeployed" you could be out of luck because you received the merchandise the seller promised. A Dish network 501 receiver that is in good working order.You will never be able to use that receiver. Complain to amazon and show them the communication you had with the seller stating that it was clear of any fees. Have Amazon do the investigation and demand your money back from Amazon. What was done is fraud and you shouldn't have to accept it.
Your account status isn't at issue here. it is the status of the other guy's account. Dish does not know who you are. You couold swear on a stack , give them all kinds of info blah blah blah. They are not going to activate a receiver that has an unpaid balance.Yes I understand but I don't see why I have to be punishned basically jsut b/c a previous user had a balance on the reciever.

ok..If you'd have done this in the first place ,this discussion and the silly garbage you went thru would not have taken place.Well I own all of my equipment ( not stolen period and account is ALWAYS paid) I am a legit subscriber I have the America's Everything Pack (BTW this package rocks).. I am have no contract, I have never been in a contract from the start.. Anyways I called Dish and they are sending me a Dish DVR 510 for $100 after I got and instant $100 off plus I didn't have to sign a contract, So I am still contract free and will now have a brand new DVR 510 for just $100..
