kudos:4 | That's just wrong..... I can understand "in theory" why they would want the money, but come on, that's just freaking wrong on so many levels. |

Dallas, TX | Sucks to go through it, but in theory, wouldn't homeowners insurance cover things like this? |
|
| I'm sure it would, so they'll eventually get reimburse for it, but until then, they want their money right away so they have to fork it over.

So instead of buying some replacement clothes, or a few nights in a motel room, they're stuck paying this garbage bill.
AT&T are going to get some seriously bad press out of this, and sure they'll recind the fee, but that's not the point.
Just more proof AT&T totally sucks the root.
At least now I know to stay away from Dish network as well.
What a bunch of ass hats...

Yes, it should. If they owned the equipment it wouldn't be a problem.

Shouldn't matter what that house costs since cost of living is different all over the country. While that same house may cost $250,000 where I live, it may cost more where they live but their pay will reflect that too. |

They can afford to pay the bill. That shouldn't even factor into the equation. AT&T can wait, like all of their other debtors and leinholders, for homeowner's insurance to indemnify the policyholders. |

Such sweet people from New Jersy, but then I suppose it takes an A$$hole to live there............... 
This doesn't sound like the Dish Network (DN) I know. Look at what DN did after Hurricane Katrina. They flooded the area with service trucks and got their customers up an running real fast, they even installed DN systems in shelters. I'll bet you they were dealing with an AT&T billing agent in India, or The Philipines, going by a script, or some low paid butt munch State side, who would get strangled in any other line of work.

I'M MORE THEN SURE THIS IS NOT POLICY WITH ATT. I'M NOT SAYING THIS BECAUSE I LIKE ATT, BUT BECAUSE ATT HAS A BUNCH OF IDIOTS IN INDIA WHO DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. I'M SURE THAT THE REPRESENTATIVE THEY TALKED TO WAS IN INDIA. IF I WAS TO CALL ATT NOW AND SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN THE U.S, IM SURE THIS WOULD NOT BE THE CASE. LETS HOPE! |

Actually I wonder if hazard insurance would cover it or not since the policy holder doesn't actually own the equipment. |
