250 Gift Card never received......

Over the last several months I have tried many different avenues to get my complaint heard and resolved. I came across some related posts so I thought I would give this forum a try. Below is my complaint letter(yes I even tried snail mail) and timeline of my event (with personal info edited out). Hopefully someone from Verizon will see it……

Verizon
Attn: Complaint Department
P.O. Box 4846
Trenton, NJ 08625

I am a longtime Verizon FIOs and Verizon Wireless customer. The situation I recently went through is just one of several frustrating customer service experiences I have had with Verizon. In fact I don’t think I have ever had a pleasant experience.

The summary of my experience and related information is at the bottom of this letter. My complaint……..I understand my issue was complex and I can accept that it would take some time and additional phone calls to resolve. What I can’t accept is the fact that I did NOT ONCE receive a call back or return email despite the several assurances I was given that I would get one. This happened 5 TIMES! Right now I find myself banging hard on the key board because just writing and thinking about it gets me so angry……... and I’m an easy going guy! I was told by Misses Newton that this is my last and only option to complain or rectify this but I have 0, absolute ZERO confidence that this letter will have any impact to changing the way Verizon handles these situations; they/you are just too big. Having been in the service business I’m sure these types of complaints fall into that 20% (80-20 rule) bucket and are deemed acceptable. Maybe you’re thinking why not cancel my services? I won’t do that because unfortunately the other guys are just as bad as Verizon is. Crazy huh? You want to make me a happy customer again? You could give me a million dollars and I’d be happy or you could give me free cable for a year and I’d be happy or…. just once……CALL ME BACK!

Thank you for your time or I could say thanks for nothing…but as I said I’m an easy going guy. I would be more than happy to discuss this with someone who could do something about it.
