I have been a DirecTV dealer for 3 years and I just received a termination letter from them citing article 12.1. I called DirecTV for an explanation and was told that article 12.1 is used to terminate a dealer when they don't want to explain their actions and that no one would discuss it with me and that 12.1's come from corporate headquarters. I was further told that if the reason had been not enough activations the letter would have specified that. I feel we have been a good dealer, have not broken any rules, have not had cancellations, sold Dish products or modified cards. Does anyone have any info about this action?

After some quick research, it seems they cancelled 4,800 dealers last August under the same clause.

Well, that certainly creates a vacuum!

After putting me through a 3 hour training class and about 30 pages of paperwork to recruit me as a dealer, Directv refused to pay the backend payments saying that the subsciptions hadnt been activated within the 30 day period. I had been a Directv dealer for 2 weeks.
A few weeks later they dropped me as a dealer. I'm surprised that it took them this long to get to you. I guess they think their new alliance with Blockbuster will carry them subsciption-wise, but it seems a bit short sighted. I'm now looking at Dish. Directv's NFL monopoly ends this year, so hopefully Dish will pick up the NFL and then who will need Directv?
It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever.

Just re-apply. They did the same thing to us last August.

They held payments to a local large chain in my area. It was due to an activation issue. They are really cracking down on piracy by going with the bigger chains it seems and not placing cards in the IRD at some at time of purchase. I would think a smaller dealer would be more on top of things then a large chain but what do I know :)
