Verizon has always been known for their strong network with decent customer service but their rates and utter lies are beyond pathetic. First, it's the only carrier when you initially sign up you will have a bill in hand or emailed within 48 hours. They attempt to justify this as being for the "first month and a half of service" yet within the next upcoming month you will receive another billing. This is a practice that I have yet been able to find a Verizon Rep to be able to provide a logical explanation.
Next, THREE (3) YEARS AGO my wife and I were looking into switching from AT&T to Verizon. We called Verizon Corporate and after spending an hour on the phone with "Gary" he advised us (we have the recording) that if all we wanted were SIM cards as we were being our devices over, if we didn't use the Sims or changed our mind we could simply call to disconnect and throw out the sims. The cards were delivered and we never opened the box. However, within two (2) days we received a bill for $630. I called immediately and advised what we were told, provided the recording along with copies of the chats and emails from Verizon. This took close to two (2) months to straighten out and it was tough as hell due to their absolute bullshit but it was "fixed". After many back and forth a week received emails advising us that the account was closed with a $0 balance.
Fast forward three (3) years to yesterday. We are still with Big Blue (AT&T) but called Verizon to look into our options. Immediately they advised us we owed them $130 from three (3) years ago and advised that because WE CALLED THEM LOOKING FOR SERVICE WE HAD BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION. They had no information from our prior interaction and threatened us that we had "72 hours to convince them we owed them nothing or they would send us to collections ...". (They sent us to collection three years back but THEY IMMEDIATELY REMOVED THE MARK WITHIN TEN MINUTES OF MYSELF CALLING IN AND DISPUTING IT. They apologized at that time and it was over, I thought.
Yesterday I immediately sent them copies of their emails dating back to late 2021 showing the account was closed with an actual credit (somehow) on the account of $12.78.
I sent them images of the chats, emails et-cetera. What other proof or information is needed other than EMAILS COMING DIRECTLY FROM YOU ADMITTING YOUR ERRORS AND SHOWING A ZERO BALANCE WHILE CLOSING THE ACCOUNT?
I'm aware of a pending Class Action Suit against Verizon for very, very similar circumstances. This doesn't surprise me in any way. These ass-clowns are crooked, and so large the left doesn't know what the right is doing and they document nothing. I'm extremely interested to see how they respond. I'd love to join the CA. Funny thing, when my wife explained the situation to these shit-cyclones reminding them of the fact they are owed NOTHING but we are paying AT&T close to $1k a month and would prefer Verizon's network the Rep actually stayed on a recorded line "we don't care what size of account you could bring to us. $1k is nothing to me and if you switch or not this doesn't affect my employment...".
Oh, really? This egotistical corporation with its employees needs brought to its knees. read more
