   California Northern District Court  Case No. 3:15-cv-01129

   Consumer ProtectionDeceptive AdvertisingDIRECTVFTCHidden FeesROSCASatellite Television

   AIThe Federal Trade Commission filed this enforcement action in March 2015 in the Northern District of California against DIRECTV, alleging that the satellite television provider had engaged in deceptive advertising and marketing practices that violated the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA). The FTC alleged that DIRECTV's advertisements for its promotional pricing — typically a discounted monthly rate for the first twelve months — failed to adequately disclose that customers were automatically enrolled in a two-year contract, that the promotional rate would jump substantially in the second year, and that early termination fees of up to $480 applied if they cancelled. The FTC also alleged that DIRECTV enrolled customers in a premium channel package that automatically billed them after a free trial without adequately disclosing the auto-enrollment terms. After a bench trial, the district court found in favor of DIRECTV on most counts, concluding that its disclosures, while imperfect, did not rise to the level of deception under the FTC Act's legal standard. The FTC appealed. The Ninth Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part in 2018, finding that some of DIRECTV's practices violated the law. The case was ultimately resolved with DIRECTV agreeing to pay $6.75 million in consumer refunds.
