Source: Andrew Burton / Getty DirecTV Charges Woman Early Termination Fee After She Dies According to WFLA , DirecTV is getting slandered for allegedly charging an early termination fee to a 102-year-old woman, who passed away . Isabel Albright died last December, but as her family was preparing her house for sale, they discovered that satellite provider DirecTV had charged an “early termination” fee of $160 on her bill. “They told us… we’re going to charge you $160 for an early termination fee,” her son-in-law, John Manrique, said. “She’s gone. Nobody’s living (here). We’re selling the house. You’re going to tell us we have to keep the service at a house that’s not ours?” Apparently after a caregiver moved in, a new DirecTV box was added in the back room, which started a whole new two-year contract that the family was unaware about. DirecTV said that, because the bill was in the name of Albright’s daughter, Linda, the family had to pay. AT&T, DirecTV’s parent company, eventually did send a letter of apology and agreed to waive the termination fee.
