    They have similar complaints..
    A number of complaints report that after providing a card number for a one time charge to initiate an account for someone else, years later unauthorized "equipment" or "termination" charges show up.  It looks like they just dig back in their records and attempt to charge any card number they find, even if it hasn't been authorized for repeated charges.

    It sounds like you have your own Dish account connected to your own debit card, and they just "assumed" they could charge your sister's charges to your card, and make up some story. As other complaints show, this appears to be within their range of deceptive business practices.

    Contact your bank immediately to dispute the charges as fraudulent.  You will also have to block your card number to prevent further charges.  That will probably mess with their ability to charge for your own service, but how can you trust a company that will just make up excuses to take money out of your bank account?  Contact your state Attorney General for assistance.
