Getting Fed Up With FIOS Billing Issue - Can someone resolve this???

I'm getting really fed up with a FIOS billing issue that I'm having. When I went to renew my service in March, I agreed to renew for two more years on the condition - and I was VERY specific - that the pricing would remain under $130 a month for the entire length of the contract. I had run into a problem in my previous contract, where part way through the agreement, Verizon just randomly started raising my rates. At the time, it took countless hours and phone calls to reach somebody to resolve the issue - and the manager wound up manually crediting me each month to honor the pricing agreement until the contract was up. ... So, I didn't want to run into this issue again. So, I was VERY specific that the agreed-upon price had to be honored for the life the two-year agreement - no so-called promos would be expiring, etc. The price would remain set in stone. I even downgraded the TV package that I had to ensure the price was under $130 a month.  The rep sent me a sample bill that showed my price would be $127 the first month. So, I thought I could trust him. ... BUT - when I actually received the first bill, it was for $138. So after many calls, the rep agreed to credit me the difference and assured me the problem would be fixed by the second bill. I just received the second bill - and it's $154!  So, it's now $24 more than I was promised. AGAIN - I spent countless hours being transferred from one person to another (Three hours yesterday alone) - and they finally agreed to credit my account. But - nobody seems to be able to fix this permanently to make sure that my bill reflects the pricing I was promised. I would never have agreed to sign up for two years unless I was guaranteed a particular price.  I can't be phoning in every single month and spending countless hours on the phone to get credits every month!  Is there someone on the corporate side that can fix this? Or is this just a deliberate "bait-and-switch" tactic on Verizon's part to get people to sign up and then not honor the price promised once the customer has signed on?

Hello, I hope you can help me. On 4/29/14 I signed up for triple play at 59.99. On 5/10 I saw the offer of free movie pac for 3months and subscribed. install on 5/14 went great but now I'm being billed at 79.99. I've called billing and retention 3 times and each time they say it was a glitch and give them a few days to fix it. I now have a bill for the wrong amount and am coming up on my 30 day window to cancel. I love the service but can't live with this bait and switch.  Thanks  Mike
