Verizon Wireless

Review: Called in March 15, 2015 to cancel my services to go to another carrier due to not having service where I moved. Paid the early termination fee and was told on 5 different occasions I have paid. I am still getting billed and now being told I didn't pay the fees I was told before was paid. Since the first call they gave me nothing but trouble for switching services. It has been a run around for months. It's ridiculous.Desired Settlement: I just want the bill I already paid taken care of and to stop being billed

Response:

I have reviewed Ms. [redacted]'s concern regarding a finalbill with Verizon Wireless for $220.48. She states she left Verizon due to poorcoverage at the address she moved to. She disconnected her services and twoearly termination fees were billed. Ms. [redacted] stated that customerservice told her that she'd paid for her early termination fees when in factshe hadn't. No offer of a network ticket to confirm the poor service in herarea was ever suggested or offered. I agreed to waive the remaining balance of$220.48 related to the early termination fees for Ms. [redacted]. She washappy with this resolution.Verizon Wireless appreciates the opportunityaddress your concerns and apologizes for any inconvenience this matter may havecaused.

Review: On 12/2/15, I called verizon wireless and spoke to an associate regarding an over usage issue that I was having secondary to a recent change in employer that was requiring an unlimited number of phone minutes being used on my part secondary to my position as a nurse with [redacted] completing daily conference calls with my employer. I was concerned about the over usage, and I called verizon to see what my options were to help with this. I was told that in order to change my plan to unlimited talk minutes, that I would have to drop my "grandfather clause" of unlimited data. I was not happy with this option, but I needed to alleviate the over usage of minutes issue. I was told that if I changed my plan to unlimited talk/text and to purchase the 12G "XLARGE" plan, that I would be paying less monthly and that verizon would not charge me ANY OVERUSAGE CHARGES... I also agreed to purchase a special that they had for the [redacted] "for only $10 extra monthly" ....I agreed to the changes...I was told that my bill would be $149.97 monthly with all of the new changes. That would be saving me approximately $50 monthly, so I was very pleased. However, today I checked my bill and my balance is $769. I called verizon and the stated the over usage charges were prorated @$411, and they charged me an additional equipment charge for the [redacted] of $160.49. During my phone conversation, which I am still on hold for now, of 1 hr and 17 minutes, I was placed on hold four times and was told that the associate that I was speaking could only remove $200 of the charges, ( I was first told $146), but after I refused, she came back and said $200. I asked for a manager and was told that the manager was in a meeting. I told them that I was not going to pay the over usage amount and that I wanted to return the (unopened/unused) [redacted] I was told that by the associate that she could only approve $200 off the bill, and that the other remaining amount would have to be approved and it could take up to 24-48hrs.Desired Settlement: I would like the bill adjusted to the price that I was quoted. (I was QUOTED and told that the over usage charges would be removed and that the [redacted] charge was to be billed to me monthly at $10 a month.) I plan on returning the [redacted] and hope that verizon will not give me any grief about this.

Our records indicate the [redacted] was returned on December 15, 2015 and credit was issued for overage charges on the December invoice, in the amount of $441.00.The Executive Office spoke with Ms. [redacted] on December 23, 2015 and she confirmed the issues have been resolved to her satisfaction.

Review: VERIZON WEBSITE HAS BEEN DOWN THE ENTIRE DAY OF JUNE 26 AND CURRENTLY STILL DOWN NOT ALLOWING CUSTOMERS ACCESS TO THEIR ACCOUNTS AND ALSO NOT ALLOWING NEW SALES. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE WHAT THE HOLD UP IS AND ALL EVER GET TOLD IS THAT THEY ARE WORKING WITH THEIR IT DEPT. AS A CUSTOMER AMONG MANY DO NOT FEEL THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH AS YOU CANNOT EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS WITHOUT CREDIT OF INCONVENIENCE FOR AS LONG AS THEIR SITE STAYS DOWN AND PREVENTS PAYING CUSTOMERS ACCESS TO THEIR ACCOUNTS.Desired Settlement: I FEEL THAT I AM ENTITLED TO SOME FORM OF CREDIT FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ACCESS TO MY ONLINE ACCOUNT AND ALONG WITH THAT WOULD LIKE THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE WAIVED ON ALL THREE LINES SO THAT I CAN POSSIBLY CHANGE PROVIDERS IF THEY CONTINUE THIS SERVICE INTERRUPTION. IF IT DOES NOT RETURN ASAP I WOULD LIKE THAT OPTION TO LEAVE VERIZON WITHOUT THE TERMINATION FEES BEING MY RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR COMPANY TO NOT GET THIS DONE ASAP AND EXPECT TO CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Response:

Thank you for allowing Verizon Wireless the opportunity to respond to [redacted]

[redacted]’s complaint. Mr. [redacted] states he was unable to access his Verizon

Wireless account for two days. Verizon Wireless apologizes for any

inconvenience this issue may have caused, and appreciates this opportunity to

address his concern.

A thorough investigation revealed that the issue affecting some customer access

to account information, was an unintended consequence of a software update

performed by the company on its billing system. This did not in any way involve

the network’s ability to connect calls, deliver text messages or use data services.

In the interest of customer satisfaction, I issued a credit of $45.00 and added an

additional 1GB of promotional data for one year. The adjustment will appear on

his July 2014 billing statement. Mr. [redacted] was satisfied with the resolution.

Should Revdex.com or Mr. [redacted] have any questions regarding this

response, he may contact me at ###-###-#### between the hours

of 10:30 a.m.to 7:00 p.m. (PST), Monday through Friday. If Mr. [redacted] has any

additional concerns regarding his wireless service, he may reach Customer

Service at ###-###-####.

Review: As a loyal customer with Verizon wireless for many years, my 2 year signed contract expired. Getting a new rate over the phone of $43.89/month, I paid this rate on a consistent basis. In April of this year, I switched phone services to AT&T. Verizon then billed me $163.59 for a contract breach which was disclosed to me on the phone with a Verizon supervisor. He said since I am no longer a customer, I must pay the bill although I never was told I was under a new contract on "promotional minutes" when I called on 11-06-2013. Since I was never told this, I should not be billed $163.59. I am currently out of work for 1.5 years and on a fixed income. Sincerely,[redacted]Desired Settlement: Give me a refund by mail. I am currently paying this greedy company $32.72/month until the fee is paid so that my credit is not compromised by Verizon wireless.

Response:

July 1, 2014

This is in response to the above-referenced

complaint filed by [redacted] received by Verizon Wireless on June 26, 2014

from the Revdex.com. Mr. [redacted] disputes the

early termination fee billed to him after he canceled service. He contends he

was never aware of a contract for “promotional minutes”.

Verizon Wireless strives to ensure customers are fully aware of any changes made to

their account or new contractual terms resulting from a change, if

applicable. Account number [redacted]

was reviewed. The account reflects that on November 6, 2013, Mr. [redacted]

contacted customer service regarding his account. At that time, he was placed

on a promotional plan that required a one year service agreement. Furthermore,

the invoice generated on November 18, 2013 showed the new contract start date. On

April 18, 2014, the service was terminated resulting in a $150 early

termination fee.

Our office reviewed the aforementioned with Mr. [redacted]. In the effort to resolve the issue, we

offered an adjustment of $98.15. He

accepted and considered the matter resolved.

If Mr. [redacted] has any questions, he can reach me at ###-###-####

ext.[redacted], Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m.–3:30p.m.EST.

Complaint has been resolved.

Regards,

Review: I was a Verizon customer for over two years until switching to another carrier in March 2014. From start to finish, Verizon billed me a month in advance.Despite this, they claim I owe them $100.96. They make this claim without ever bothering to send me a final bill explaining the "charges" and describing how this is possible since they billed me a month in advance for over two years.Desired Settlement: Cease and desist all collection activities and acknowledge that my bill is paid in full.Verizon does not get to bill a month in advance and then have the nerve to turn around and claim there is a balance due on a closed account.

Response:

I am writing in response to the complaint you forwarded on behalf of Mr. [redacted]. In his filing, Mr. [redacted] expressed concern regarding Verizon Wireless' Future Date Disconnect Policy. As Mr. [redacted] explained in his correspondence, he recently ported his number to an alternate service provider, but is upset he was billed for a final month of service that he did not use. Per Mr. [redacted]’s request, please accept this letter as Verizon Wireless” resolution to this matter.Upon receiving your correspondence, I conducted a thorough review of Mr. [redacted]’s account. I was able to confirm Mr. [redacted] ported his line of service with the mobile telephone number ###-###-#### to an alternate service provider on April 4, 2014. Pursuant to Verizon Wireless' Future Date Disconnect policy, Mr. [redacted]'s service was disconnected in our billing system on April 23, 2014, the last day of his bill cycle. In accordance with the terms and conditions of Mr. [redacted]’s Customer Agreement, his outstanding balance of $100.86 is composed of his final month of cellular service access (3/24 - 4/23) and $30.00 in data overage.Ultimately, in an effort to resolve Mr. [redacted]’s concerns, I rerated his March 23, 2014 invoice so that he was charged access fees only for the days he used his service during his final month (3/24 - 4/4). Strictly as a courtesy, I also credited the data overage assessed to his final two invoices. In total, I issued a credit to Mr. [redacted]'s account in the amount of $71.61. His remaining balance of $29.35 is valid and collectable.If you have any additional questions or concerns please contact me at ###-###-#### during my business hours of 8:00 am. to 5:00 pm. (EST) Monday through Friday.Sincerely,C[redacted] Executive Relations Coordinator

Fascinating that Verizon sees nothing wrong with billing me initially for three weeks of service I never used. Hilarious that they claim I incurred $30 in overages when I only used the service for 11 days in my final month as a customer.

Review: July 19, 2014On April 4, 2014, I went into Verizon Wireless that is located on [redacted] Lebanon, PA to buy my younger son a phone. I have been a Verizon customer for 8 years prior to this purchase, so I was confident with the company. We picked out a phone and while we were checking out, the Verizon Representative, [redacted], told me that he noticed that I go over my allotted data, so I should get the Jet Pack. It will decrease my data usage and I will not go over my limit. I did purchase it, and in one day I used 6 gigs of data. When I got notification that I was at my limit in data, I called the customer service for Verizon. They told me that the Verizon Representative, [redacted], was not truthful about the Jet Pack and I should take it back to the store. At this time, I filed a complaint with the customer service on the representative as well as the manager, [redacted], who was standing behind [redacted] when he lied to me. They told me again to take it back to the store. So I tried to take it back and they told me that there was no way that I used that much data playing Candy Crush, which is the only thing that I used the Jet Pack to do. I asked them about the use of the data and they said that the Jet Pack will not save me any data usage, but to allow me to have internet where there is no wireless available. I stated to the representative that I was lied to and want to return it. They told me that I had to pay a restocking fee. I stated to them that I did not agree with the restocking fee since I was lied to in order to purchase something that I did not need nor want and I was returning it within the 14 days. They would not take it back without me giving them $35.00 immediately. They were rude and unprofessional and I felt very intimidated by them. They tried to bully me into saying that I used the Jet Pack for other things and that I misinterpreted what they said. I did not agree with anything that they were trying to get me to say. I then left the store.I went home and called the customer service again to report the aggressive and unprofessional way I was treated. I was advised to return it to another store in Harrisburg since I was very uncomfortable returning to that store again. I was also told that a manager would look into the situation and call me back within 48 hours. I never got a return phone call. I tried to return the Jet Pack to 2 different stores in Harrisburg and they told me that I had to return it to the original store since it was owned privately.On April 15, 2014, I canceled all of my phone accounts with Verizon and went with another company. I then tried to return the Jet Pack and the phone to the store on [redacted]. I tried to pay by check for the restocking fee for the phone and they refused to take my check. I had to pay cash or credit card. I did pay a restocking fee for the phone, but refused to pay the restocking fee for the Jet Pack. They then told me that I not only had to pay $35.00 restocking for the Jet Pack, but $25.00 more for the box, since I opened it and $25.00 more for the manuals since one manual was missing. I left the Jet Pack at the store even though he told me that he was not accepting it without payment of $85.00. I refused to take it with me. As soon as I got home, I phoned customer service again and told them what happened and that I left the Jet Pack at the store. They called the store to verify and the manager, [redacted], told them that the box was damaged and the battery tested wet. The box was fine when I left it and no tests were done on the battery while I was in the store. I was told that he did admit that I left it there, but I refused to pay a restocking fee. I was also told that he was not accepting it since the battery was exposed to water. I told the customer service that it worked fine when I left it there.On my April bill, I was charged $242.00 on phones that I only had active for less than one week. I called customer service again and they told me that would credit me for the early cancelation fee for the phone that I returned and the $20.00 for the Jet Pack since it was returned. On my May bill, I was charged $714.01. I do owe $201.00 for an early cancelation on my older sons phone. They also charged me $100.00 for the Jet Pack use and data package. I called on May 13, 2014 to talk to them about it. They then told me that they would take $450.00 off the bill. I asked them to send me a new bill, but they never sent one. I never received a June bill, but I did get a July bill which was $866.44. I called customer service and they told me that I continued getting charged $100.00 each month for the Jet Pack that I neither use nor have in my possession. I told them the whole story and while on hold, I was disconnected and had to call back. When I called back, I had to go over the whole story again and the representative told me that the manager would call the store and call me back within 48 hours. Again, I never received a call. I acknowledge that I owe $201.00 for early termination fee for one phone. But, that is all that I owe. They will not take the Jet Pack off my account, even though I have not had the device for 3 months. I feel that I was lied to, stole from, and expected to continue paying for a devise that I returned. Where do I go from here?Sincerely,[redacted]Desired Settlement: I want my bill expunged except for the $201.00 that I acknowledge that I owe.

Response:

This letter is in response to the recent complaint by [redacted] received by Verizon Wireless on July 23,

2014. In the complaint, Ms. [redacted] maintains that she is being billed for services on a device that has

been returned.

Upon receipt of this complaint, a thorough review was completed. Our records indicate on April 18,

2014, Ms. [redacted] attempted to return a jetpack internet device to a Verizon Wireless Premium Retailer

store, and disconnect mobile number ###-###-####. The store determined that the device had liquid

damage and in order to process a return, Ms. [redacted] would need to pay the restocking fee of $35.00 and

a damage fee of $25.00. Ms. [redacted] returned the device to the store, but refused to pay the applicable

fees; in return the line of service was not disconnected until 7/14/14 per Ms. [redacted]’s request.

The Executive Office spoke with the store personnel, and they have confirmed that although they could

not process the return, Ms. [redacted] did leave the equipment in the store location. The Executive Office

spoke with Ms. [redacted] on July 28, 2014, and as a gesture of goodwill, a credit in the amount of $160.00

has been applied to her account for the early termination fee. Additionally, a $535.98 credit has been

applied to her account for the charges on her May and June statement as well. The remaining balance

on Ms. [redacted]’s account is $247.94. Ms. [redacted] has been reminded that even though she has discontinued

her service, she is still responsible for the Edge Agreement installments on mobile number ([redacted]

[redacted].

inconvenience this matter may have caused. If you have any further questions or concerns, you may

Review: On 9/14/14 my daughter [redacted] Verizon Acct [redacted] asked me call & find out when the contract expires.I was told it expired 9/14/14,I repeated the date, she said yes, I said "Hey, that's today" and she replied yes again. She asked why I was leaving, found cheaper company, she told me about another deal, I said No, thanks.Next day, Sept 15th, I got both phones ###-###-#### & ###-###-#### switched to Straight Talk. The first phone took 5 min. but the second one had not, Straight Talk rep asked me to call Verizon to see why they had not released ###-###-#### (thought it might had something to do with my son being Active-Duty and stationed in Wyoming). Next,I called Verizon, phone was not being held,rep asked why I was leaving, repeated what I told the other rep on 9/14/14. She then stated that I was going to be charged $150/per phone for breaking my contract. I repeated to her that I was told my contract ended on 9/14/14...she said I was told the wrong information. I asked to speak to a Supervisor, first told that he was busy, asked for his boss...needless to say, I was kept on hold several minutes. Finally, I spoke with [redacted] and he stated he can see why the other rep got confused, there were two dates on my daughter's account and she accidently gave me the wrong date. Of course, I lost it then and explained to him that employees are representatives of their company and need to be held accountable for their actions. If wrong information is given out, the company needs to make what's right to the customer. He asked for my email account and sent send me a copy of the contract. Then, he stated she would not be charged if one phone on, I stated new phone co already pd. He sent email to her supervisor never heard anything else. Explained, my last bill should be pro-rated for 6 days and no $300 fee. I asked him, looking at my bill payment history always paid, why would she break contract with 3 weeks left. I was given wrong information, which caused the fee to occurDesired Settlement: I only closed the account based upon the information that I received from the first Verizon Rep; therefore, she would have not occurred a $300 termination fee. Also, the bill time period is 9/09/14 - 10/08/14, since the service was ended on 9/15/14, she should only be charged a pro-rated amount for 7 days of service.If there's any questions/concerns, please call me at ###-###-####. I thank you for your time and appreciate your help!!

Review: Verizon offered me an upgrade so I ordered two phones on line..Phones came and we had 14 days to try them and then return them.. We ended up returning them as we had no verizon service where we were in Lake Piru, California.... We went to AT&T and bought phones there to get their service as they had service in the area we were to be at for 3 months... We returned both phones within the 14 days... We were advised by verizon that they received phones and would up date our billing.. Because we cancelled out phones, we had to pay $98.00 buy out on our contract. We paid the buy out on the contract.. Never heard another word for 6 months now and all of a sudden I get a phone call from a collection agency for over $1200.00. Bill for phones and service... We do not owe this bill and the phones were returned.. Nothing we do seems to clear this matter up. Do not know what else to do. Plus now I have a collection on my Credit Report that should not be there....Desired Settlement: I would like them to take care of the billing and to report to collection agency that they made an error..

Response:

Thank you for allowing Verizon Wireless the opportunity to respond to the complaint forwarded on behalf

of Mr. [redacted]. In his complaint, Mr. [redacted] is requesting the balance of his account be removed,

and the derogatory credit reporting removed. Verizon Wireless sincerely regrets any dissatisfaction this

matter may have caused.

Upon review of Mr. [redacted]’s account, there is currently a balance owed, which is currently placed with IC

Systems for collection. Remarks show Mr. [redacted] returned two devices he purchased, within the 14 day

Customer Guarantee, and was advised he would not be charged an Early Termination Fee for those two

lines of service. Mr. [redacted] was charged on his February 9, 2014, invoice for two Early Termination

Fees totaling $768.60.

I spoke with Mr. [redacted] on October 7, 2014, regarding his concerns and the above findings. Mr. [redacted]

states he was advised no balance was due when he contacted us. Remarks show his contacts to us

were prior to his final billing statement generating on February 9, 2014. He also stated he was not

supposed to have been charged Upgrade Fees on the two lines of service. I informed Mr. [redacted] one

Upgrade Fee was credited, and as a courtesy, I would credit the other one. I additionally advised I would

be providing a credit for the Early Termination Fees charged, for a total credit of $798.60. Mr. [redacted] is

still in dispute of the balance, and requested a copy of his itemized billing statements. Copies of the

billing statements were sent to Mr. [redacted] with tracking #[redacted]76 through the USPS.

At this time, Verizon Wireless considers this matter closed, and respectfully declines to remove the

derogatory credit reporting. Mr. [redacted] may contact IC Systems at ###-###-####, for any remaining

questions, or to make a payment for the remaining balance.

Should the Revdex.com or Mr. [redacted] have any questions regarding this response, please

Review: I went to the Verizon store in [redacted] to have an account transferred from my husbands name to mine, and canceling our jet pack as it is a service we do not use. Everything was completed except the jetpack was cancelled as the transfer of account would not allow the, to cancel the service on the date of request. This was Tuesday the 16th. I was told to call back or come back to the store by Thursday the 18th of September to have this service cancelled. I called them on the 18th to get my jetpack cancelled, and was informed by phone (associate [redacted] T) that this was completed. I had also been given a discount but this discount could not be applied to one of my phone lines and I therefore had to call customer service to have this completed. I called customer service and was told that the discount I was asking for had been completed applied, my jet pack cancelled, and information that had wrongfully been entered, was now corrected. I had the associate verbally confirm that I would not be billed for this month on my jetpack. I saw my bill 2days later and noticed I was being charged for this month and next months worth for my jetpack, and none of the discounts that I was told would be applied were applied. I called Verizon to get everything corrected, and everything that was supposedly corrected in my previous call had not been corrected. I asked to speak to a supervisor when the associate was unable to satisfactorily answer my questions. And I got [redacted]. Who then promised a follow up by Wednesday evening. I told her honestly that if I did not hear back from her by Wednesday with a satisfactory solution, I would file a Revdex.com complaint. And I this apparently made little to no sense to her as I did not hear back.Desired Settlement: I am requesting a refund for the two subscription charges that I received for the jetpack as they have charged me for both current and future month. The supervisor [redacted] that I spoke to plainly refused this when I requested it on the phone, and was to research this and get back to me on it. However she has not even though she promised a follow up by today.

Review: in August of 2014 I contacted Verizon wireless. I ask them when I could upgrade my phone ending in [redacted]. They told me I could not upgrade at this time, but I could use one of my other phones to upgrade to the Edge program and I could have the new phone with my number on it and have the edge on my other number of [redacted] I ASK would this cause me a problem later on when I wanted to edge up my phone and they told me it would not be a problem by that time they could switch the edge to my phone from the phone that it was first put on. I called them on 3-30 15 to edge up my phone because I had paid 8 months on the edge program. They told me that they could not transfer the edge phone from number [redacted] to [redacted] because it was already on that number when it was first edged up and it would have to be put on the original edge phone. I would never had put it on the [redacted] number in the first place if I had know it could not be transferred. The [redacted] number is a old flip phone.Desired Settlement: For my edge program to be transferred to my [redacted] like the Verizon wireless rep. told me it could be done. I ask two time to make sure it could be moved them the new edge time was due and to make sure there would be no problem. the Rep. in August told me there would be no problem. But there was a huge problem Verizon would not move it like the rep told me they could or I would never had even done it in the first place. I was mislead badly. I man heck why would I edge up a 3 year old flip phone.

Review: I ordered a prepaid iPhone 4s on April 15 2015. I was charged on the same day. The same day the fraud Dept cancelled my claim due to delivery restrictions. I was told I would be credited in 10 days. Now they say it will not be credited for until the 29th. Ive been transferred 29 times. I was charged for a phone and 1 month service for a phone that was never shipped and now they are making interest off the money I paid and have yet to receive a credit. What they did is fraud. Charging for an item that never shipped and I still have yet to receive my credit.Desired Settlement: I want a refund and interest earned for my payment and an investigation on verizon prepaid phone refunds. My bank said they should have credited me within 4 buisness days.

Review: recently my wife needed to replace her HTC M7 device due to software issues. she received her replacement activated the new device and as instructed boxed up the original device for return back to Verizon. on 6/6/2015 at 9:34 am I took the device as instructed by Verizon to USPS station in Chicago.I received a receipt showing proof that the device was received by USPS for shipment (I have the receipt available for review)back to Verizon. within the next couple of weeks my wife and I began receiving harassing text messaging stating that we need to return the device. I call Verizon customer service and tickets were open(ticket both tickets were closed stating that device needs to be return no additional assistance will be provided. I contacted Verizon and stated that I have a copy of the receipt and will be glad to provide for review. I was informed that I will need to contact the post office and track the device. being frustrated I open a ticket with USPS and it was closed stating that the information was incorrect. [redacted] in customer service then became involved in trying to help me get this matter resolved, we open a second ticket with the post office. after several days the post office contacted me and stated that I have done my part, I have proof that the package was returned at it Verizon responsibility to open a ticket. I should not be billed for the cost of the device. I would like this issue resolved and my bill credited for the amount charged asap.Desired Settlement: I would like this issue resolved as soon as possible with my account being credited. I am also asking due to the frustration of this issue (outside of [redacted] in customer service trying to do everything possible to resolve this where I am not charged)that I am allowed to do a early upgrade on my devices. If this not resolve within two weeks, I will pay for service that I owe and will not cover the cost of the equipment where I have proof showing it was submitted and transfer my service.

Response:

Mr. [redacted] contacted executive relations because of a billing issue related to a non return CLNR fee. Mr. [redacted] states that his wife's HTC One was deemed defective by technical support and a warranty replacement was shipped. Mr. [redacted] states that he took the defective device to USPS, per the instructions, and received a confirmation receipt. The device never arrived at the warehouse. The customer was subsequently charged the non return fee. After reviewing the account, it was noted that a ticket has been opened, [redacted] and [redacted] is currently being worked by the Returns investigations team. It has been determined that the package was lost in transit as of 07/29/2015. Per the tickets listed above, the device was lost/stolen in transit. The charge for the device not being returned will be reversed within 72 hours. If there are any additional questions or concerns, I can be reached at [redacted] Executive relations considers this case closed.

Smart rewards program is really a data mining scam that does little to reward customers at all. One must enroll in Verizon Selects in order to use the points at all. Verizon Selects enables Verizon to collect data on virtually every online activity customers do.
Verizon lures customers into the program by alerting them to the fact that they have already earned a large number of points. However, this large number of points can not be utilized to pay Verizon bills or to purchase their merchandise. Daily deals and sweepstakes are a feature of the program. Daily deals allow customers to use only a limited number of points for an extremely limited number of items. One has to log on at 2 PM ET daily to attempt to purchase the daily deal- within a matter of seconds the item is sold out. Sweepstakes allow customers to bid points on merchandise.
Gift cards for other companies are available at a discount by using points. However the points the customer is allowed to use is capped by Verizon. For instance, one can use 500 points towards 5 dollars off a 50 dollar gift card, but never 5000 points to outright buy the card. Merchandise can be purchased just as cheaply elsewhere- once again, Verizon caps points usage so only a discount can be applied - never a full purchase made.
It's very easy to be lured into the program, thinking it will be similar to the rewards program on your credit card, which essentially assigns one penny value per point.
However, it is not at all like that.
Despite hoards of complaints, Verizon refuses to change the program at all, and constantly defends it.
Customer service for smart rewards is open only M-F business hours with little to no possibilty of actually getting through to a human being.
Verizon also charges the highest prices in the industry for phone plans, and refuses to waive any of their fees under any circumstances.Customer service agents are often extremely rude.
In my opinion, data mining like this should be illegal.

I would NEVER again do business with verizon even if they were the only phone carrier in my area. I would rather be without service than to deal with them and their uncaring and uncompromising attitudes ever again. They care more about money than people or their inability to continue their previous lifestyle after job loss occurs. They are unaccomodating and they make it difficult to even talk to them if you forgot your billing password. They may have the biggest network, but they have the worst customer service of any carrier I have ever dealt with.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! Beware - you will wait on hold for hours with no solution. They couldn't care less about you as a customer and are only out to get your money. They charge you fees you shouldn't be charged for and if you cancel your service mid-month you have to pay for the WHOLE MONTH EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T HAVE SERVICE!!!!! Talk about horrible ethics. I will never again do business with Verizon and will be sure that no one else that I know does either!!!!!!

Verizon is HORRIBLE! my husband and I got on the Edge plan. We could cancel anytime and owe nothing since we paid for our phones up front! About 10 months later we switched carriers. We called Verizon not once but TWICE and also went to THREE different stores with the particular question " we will owe nothing if we cancel our service?" So after asking the question 5 times , 2 of which are supposed to be recorded, we canceled our service. FOUR months later we get a bill for $1000!!!!!!! There was no description on the bill stating what it was even for!!!! So after calling and spending the better part of the day on the phone we got the answer....it was for our phones.....that we had already paid for!!!!!! It is now over a year and it is still not settled. Buyer beware and stay FAR FAR AWAY from this company!!!!!

In December 2015 I stopped into a Verizon store to check out their current deals, mostly to make sure we were still getting a great deal at our current carrier. While there the salesman told me how they were offering new customers $350 credit to switch, per phone. So I asked for more info. I was basically told that we could leave the store with two new phones, two Gizmo watches for my kids and even a tablet with no money down and enough of a credit that we wouldn't have a first months bill. I thought it sounded good, and so did my husband so we went ahead and made the switch.
Right away I my sons watch didn't work at all. So I brought it back to the store the next day and was charged a $35 restocking fee to exchange it. Then the next day I realized my device was not working as it should be, so I had to drive out to the store, which was 1 hour away for them to look at it. They told me there was nothing wrong with it and sent me on my way. I called customer service and they ran diagnostics on the device and determined that the battery and hardware had defects and that I should return it and get a new device. I went to a closer store to do that return and got my new phone.
Meanwhile, we got our first bill. Almost $400 for only a week or so of service. I took my bill into the closer store and they found out that the first store had never applied credits to our account. So we got a total of $200 applied towards the bill. I paid the remaining balance. While at that store they convinced me to try out a device that hooks into the car and acts like On Star (Hum by Verizon). They discounted my bill by $35 since I shouldn't have been charged that fee to begin with, for agreeing to try out the device. Once it was hooked into my husbands car, it kept calling support and he finally said to take it out. Once I did, his gas gauge stopped working. I tried to get resolution from customer service and they couldn't tell me anything. So I returned the device to a store. I was told that I would have to pay $37 to return the device or that I couldn't leave the store. I paid the $37 and I asked if that was my restocking fee to which they said yes. However as soon as I left the store I saw that I was again charged $35 on my account for the restocking fee. I called the store manager back to ask him about it and I was yelled at. So I called customer service, very upset and again was yelled at by the man on the phone. He said what I was seeing was not a bill but a credit.
Today I got a notice on my account that we are pass due on the $35 fee. I've contacted the Revdex.com to file a dispute. The man who contacted me through corporate has been no help. He says that there is a credit on my account, yet it is still showing up as past due. I've called customer service multiple times and even talked through chat with them. Today they had me in tears and there is nothing I can do to get out of this relationship. To get out would cost us our devices, plus $770 plus our current bill. Then I would have to purchase new devices at a different carrier.
Please beware - Verizon will lie and cheat to get your business and then trap you.

Review: Verizon conducts deceiving sales and service methods. Its customer service reps are not properly trained - they give out inaccurate, incomplete, and dishonest information. My contract had been extended without my knowledge and approval. I called Verizon numerous times about this issue and every time I got promises, but the error has never been corrected.

In December 2013 I asked Verizon to have my service disconnected due to my 1 year work assignment outside US. The CS said I had to pay a fee of $350 for breach of contract, although I was previously told I would not have to being their customer for over 10 consecutive years. So they talked me out of doing that and instead they offered to have my service put on hold for 12 months until I return to US. However, after 6 months, on 5/19/2014, they reinstated my service with no prior notice, and I got billed for a whole month of service plus some additional fees that remain unclear to me. I called again on 6/05/2014 and asked them to correct their error in billing me while having no service, and to have my account on hold for the remainder of the period. Their answer to me was they would credit back the charge but they would no longer put my service on hold. So I agreed to pay for lesser monthly charges until I return to the states. One month later I find out they they credited back only part of my billing, leaving me with $70 left to pay plus a $5 late fee charge. I paid the $75 balance on my account and called Verizon on 6/24/2014 asking for a cancellation of my service effective immediately as I could not trust them any longer with their business conduct. They said I would still have to pay the entire $290 cancelation fee and that they would not cancel my service before 7/19/2019, and continue to bill me until that date.Desired Settlement: Verizon should credit me back $75 for charging me while not providing service. My account should be closed on the date I requested, and no other fees should be applied to my account. I was a paying customer for over 10 years. Conversations between customers and their reps should be recorded and properly noted in their systems. Verizon should assume responsibility for all information given out to customers by Verizon employees. Verizon should stop using deceiving methods in order to overcharge customers.

This letter is in response to the above referenced informal complaint filed on June 26, 2014 and received by Verizon Wireless on June 26, 2014. In her complaint, Ms. [redacted] states she suspended her service for the maximum allowed in one year, six months. After the reconnection, Ms. [redacted] received a bill for $75. Ms. [redacted] is requesting credit for charges and her services disconnected.

Upon receipt of your letter, I reviewed our records on account number [redacted]4-[redacted]. Customer’s can only voluntarily suspend service for 90 days, and a maximum of six months during a rolling 12 month period. The services automatically connect after 90 days and the customer must contact Verizon in order to re-suspend the service. The bill received for $74.12 is accurately billed. In an effort to bring closure to this matter, I have disconnected the service and waived the early termination fee of $290.00.

Verizon Wireless appreciates the opportunity to respond to Ms. [redacted]’s concern. If there are any further questions, Ms. [redacted] may contact me directly at ###-###-####. My office hours are 7:00am – 3:30pm EST Monday through Friday.

Review: I have been outside the country since December 2013. I have suspended my cellphone service likewise I did with my cable and trash. However, Verizon had auto reconnected it since April 2014.Verizon wants me to pay for services that I did not received (please see the May and June bill). You can see that Verizon did not charged me prior April. However since they auto reconnected my services on April. They have billed me $299.41. Verizon is forcing me to pay for services I did not USE!!! I have expressed them my disagreement but they solution was to pay the $299.41 plus a termination fee of $210. I want to keep my line and the service, but I am not willing to pay for a service I DID NOT RECEIVE. I believe this is an unfair way to do business. My cable nor may trash service provider DID NOT AUTO Reconnected my services, so they can earn more money. Please eliminate the auto reconnection feature and allow the customer to put a date of reconnection or if better recommend termination of the contract if needed.Desired Settlement: To bring the balance of $299.41 to zero because those charges are for services I did not use and I was under the impression that the service was suspended.

Response:

Thank you for allowing Verizon Wireless the opportunity to respond to the above-referenced informal

complaint filed by [redacted]. Ms. [redacted] expressed dissatisfaction with her line of service

being automatically reconnected during a vacation suspension. She feels she should not be responsible

for the charges incurred while the line was connected, as she did not utilize the service.

Verizon Wireless apologizes for any inconvenience this issue may have caused and appreciates this

opportunity to address her concern.

A thorough account review revealed there was no usage on the phone line between April 9, 2014, and

June 16, 2014. With this information confirmed, I issued an adjustment of $258.87 for the charges on

the last two invoices. I advised Ms. [redacted] she will receive another adjustment of $19.97 for the

taxes that were charged on those invoices. Ms. [redacted] confirmed that issuing the adjustments has

fully resolved her concerns.

Should Ms. [redacted] have any questions regarding this response, she may contact me at ###-###-####

Ext. [redacted] between the hours of 10:15 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. For other matters

regarding herservice, Ms. [redacted] may contact Customer Service at ###-###-####.
