Verizon Fios Equiment Return Fraud

I canceled my Verizon Fios home internet account under duress in April 2016 and after Verizon was unable to restore my internet connection outage for over 3 weeks. I was made to stay home from work for two days when the Verizon technician was to show up but did not. I don't know if it was mismanagement during the infamous employee strike or just bad behavior on Verizon's part. I returned my Verizon Fios equipment back to Verizon and received an email confirming receipt of the equipment by Verizon on May 10, 2016 (Mail tracking ID {edited for privacy}). At the time of outage, my account was in good standing and all bills paid up via Autopay. I disabled the Autopay option upon termination of account and since then, have been incorrectly billed for services and now sent emails asking to return the router. This is pure harassment and must be stopped immediately. The records of equipment return, service outage and customer service calls will clearly prove that the billed charges against me are baseless and that I have suffered tremendous harassment at the hands of Verizon, including being billed for useless automated payment reminder calls when on international roaming. Now Verizon has dispatched a UPS return equipment box and stated I will be billed $500+ dollars for an unreturned router (!!!). This is unacceptable.
