The service offers a form titled "DirecTV Notice of Dispute" for doing this. You can download from their website and print it for filling out.
Fill out and mail your Notice of Dispute form to DirecTV's legal department.
Once you've filled out your Notice of Dispute form for your DirecTV billing, you can mail it to the company's legal address as written on the first page of the form. Make sure to be as precise as possible in describing the charges you're disputing and include copies of any supporting documentation that reinforces your claim.
Wait at least 60 days for a response from DirecTV.
The typical resolution period for a respose to your legal dispute against DirecTV's charges on your bill is 60 days. Within this time, the company will probably contact you or your legal representative for a conference call to discuss your claim. If DirecTV fails to contact you within 60 days, you can consider taking them to small claims court to further escalate things for a response.
Conclusion
Disputing unwarranted charges on your DirecTV billing invoice is probably something that you'll be able to solve quickly and easily with a phone call or two to their customer service line. However, if this fails, and especially if the charges you're disputing are exceptionally large, filing a legal claim for a dispute might work. It's important to be patient and persistent until you get a positive response.
