I asked why and they said they had notified me but I never recieved it! They even had my new address because I had put in a move order. Why would Verizon treat their customers this way?

Never had anything in writing from Verizon. Ever. Customer service won't tell me a thing as the debt has been passed to debt collectors. Is this it? Am I going to get more demands for silly amounts?

After some bickering I paid the debt, case closed? Not by a long shot. A year latter I began to receive letters and phone calls from collection agencies trying to get the already paid debt. This has been going on for a year one agency after another all the while Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12583005.post-29304274503865715522009-04-15T14:48:00.000-04:002009-04-15T14:48:00.000-04:00I will never use verizon again.

Upon cancelation, I paid the entire balance due. Actually, I over-payed and I received a check refund for the pro-rated amount left in that month's billing cycle. One week later, I called verizon again to verify the EnergyShiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352406289509093159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12583005.post-45424483917335389222008-12-23T17:30:00.000-05:002008-12-23T17:30:00.000-05:00I WILL NEVER USE VERIZON IN MY LIFE OR RECOMMEND I...I WILL NEVER USE VERIZON IN MY LIFE OR RECOMMEND IT TO ANY ONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH ME TOO. They are just bunch of idiots who need to rectify their accounting system. But i really wonder why their accounting system does not reduce the money we owe but simply inflate it. Intentional haan!. So many times i have called customer care to rectify it but it was unheard.

Verizon has to be the most incompetent company I have ever purchased anything from. In April of 07 I terminated my service with Verizon (phone, fios, cable) as part of a move. They were supposed to send someone up to pick up 2 cable boxes. Instead an installer came, of course he doesn't pick up boxes he just installs them.

Verizon does not listen when you call or write; it's amazing to me how they seem to go by some ridiculous script each time you talk to a customer service representative and never even attempt to solve the problem, no matter how minor it is! I will NEVER use Verizon ever again, and I suggest others who have had problemsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
