Activist, M. Idam Esq, To Sue DSTV, GoTV over arbitrary Charges, Issues Pre Action Notice

An Abuja based Lawyer, M. I Idam Esq has issued a pre-action notice to Multi Choice Nigeria, the owners of DSTV and GoTV cable TV subscription demanding explanation why unused TV subscription cannot be roled over.

Idam Esq described the practice as exploitative, oppressive and unacceptable and requested the cable TV to regulate it’s subscription to read only when in use.

SEE THE PRE ACTION NOTICE BELOW:

PRE- ACTION NOTICE

I find it oppressive and exploitative for Multi-Choice to disconnect subscribers of DSTV and GOTV at the end of every subscription period, whether or not customers ever used their subscription.

Totally unacceptable, is that they direct their designated agents to phone customers and demand them to renew their subscription or stand disconnected, even when same was never in use during the subscription period.

More exploitative is the fact that DSTV, GOTV and indeed all the digital satellite providers in Nigeria, do not indicate how they arrive at their billing, nor do they roll over subscriptions that were not in use. Hence, subjecting users, to arbitrary and unfair charges.

Based on the foregoing, I issued DSTV and GOTV and indeed all the digital satellite providers, thirty (30) days to regulate their television network to read only during viewing. Failure to so do, I shall immediately take an action against Multi-Choice TV and every other Television Network in Nigeria.
