Hi Everyone,
I have contacted verizon support about this billing dispute 3 seperate time, make that 4 as of this AM. They concur that they have received my equipment. But they still charge me the rental fee for the equipment for $11.99 / month + taxes and fees. This has been going on for 4 months now, since september 2014.
Last month before i paid my bill I decided to talk to verizon again. So I spent 2 hours on the phone with the rep who referred me to the manager. After another hour of research and being on hold with the manager, they confirmed they received the equipment and that I should be refunded 3 month of billing, and that the charges will be removed from future bills. So I proceeded and paid my bill in full.
Well, guess what! Today I received my new bill for Dec 2014 till Jan 2015 and of course there a tv rental charge on it. To add insult to injury, there is no credit for all the past charges.
Naturally, I spent the last hour talkting to verizon support on the phone. After another 30 min of account review and 30 min on hold, she confirmed that yes they received the equipment. Now she was saying they received the equipment on 12/11/2014. I have papers that shows that I gave the equipment to the verizon store in september 2014. When I talked to verizon in October and November 2014 they said they received the equipment in september 2014. So today, the agent was not able to help me, then she said ok let me tranfer you to a manager and the call was disconnected. Big surprise. Even before I posted this message I sent a private message to a customer support on this forum just as a final straw.
So long story short, there is no resolution to date. I am being overcharged $12 per month and no one really cares. Now if god forbid and I am late in paying by bill, then I will get all sorts of fees and late charges added to my account. Is it worth getting all legal with them for $12 per month? I am not sure, but the idea that no one answers you is frustrating.
I guess if no one resolves this by the next couple of days I am going to switch to comcast...I am not paying any account termination fees as the way I see it Verizon is in breach of contract.
Happy holidays everyone!
Hi MDuser414,
Sorry you are having difficulty with your billing. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.
Just wondering if you ever got Verizon to stop billing the $11.99? I'm going through the same thing now but it's only been 3 months and two calls to Verizon. I got the same run around on the equipment return as well. Very fustrating as they acknowledge this issue each time and tell you "next" statement it will be resolved, but no change.
