I've been a Verizon Fios customer since it first came out here in the DC area and am having a hard time believing this is happening. In our flower bed, about an inch under the soil was a FIOS line that we accidentally cut (about ten feet from the house). The Verizon service repair man came out and set up a temporary line and then the guys came and reburied the line about a week later. Everyone I showed the line to noted that it should have been deeper and I assumed there would be no charge associated with correctly reburying the line to code. Then, about three weeks later I get a very suspicious phone call saying I owed "CMR", a very shady company apparently based out of Oklahoma $306.00 for the work....a "claims" company. I don't know how they got my home and cell number. I have no intention of paying this bill. If this is the way Verizon wants to conduct it's business, I have a couple of months left on my account and we'll be finding another carrier. We pay Verizon around $500/month between all the services we have with it, including wireless. You'd think they'd want to keep our business.

Please understand that we will be discontinuing all service with Verizon (roughly $500/month) as soon as we are allowed. This is outrageous and I have no intent of paying a bill for which I was not informed of the charges nor was I at fault related to the cutting of an improperly placed line.
