Marketing Firm Sues Dish, Claiming It's Owed Over $1M for Unpaid Services

A Dish Network marketing contractor “met or exceeded” impression metrics specified in a marketing services agreement for the provider’s Boost Mobile phone services, but Dish never paid the amounts owed, alleged the contractor's fraud complaint Tuesday (docket 1:24-cv-01501) in U.S. District Court for Colorado. Los Angeles marketing firm Russell Westbrook Enterprises alleges Dish has refused to pay more than $1.4 million it owes for services provided under a “valid and enforceable contract.” RWE invoiced Dish four times from Dec. 31, 2022, to Aug. 31 last year, but the Boost parent never paid the amounts owed, never claimed the marketing firm failed to perform the work under their contract, never claimed the invoices were improper and “provided no explanation for its failure to pay the amounts owed,” it said. RWE notified Dish April 24 of its breach of contract for not paying the owed amounts, but the defendant didn’t respond, said the complaint. The plaintiff suffered and continues to suffer “significant damages” due to Dish’s breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and unjust enrichment, alleges the complaint. RWE seeks the amount due, plus interest; compensatory damages; and attorneys’ fees and costs. Dish didn't comment Wednesday.
