Deceptive billing practice - file FCC complaint

I accidentally overpaid, called customer service, they promised to cancel the overpayment and offered to take the correct payment. I trusted them, made the correct payment, they never canceled the original overpayment. I called after several weeks, they still refused.
It's lying - and just plain bad customer service. Sure, they keep my money a little longer, but then Amex get's involved, has to call them several times, collect information, all to dispute the charge.
I file complaints with the FCC, better business bureau, states Attorney general, all of which doesn't take much time these days.
I hope it's worth the little extra interest they keep on my payment, I suppose it's policy just to screw enough accounts in bulk so it makes them a bit of extra change.
If anyone else has the same issue, I'd love to hear about it and what you did to try and correct the deception or draw attention to it. I suspect using social media maybe good as it will dissuade others from using Verizon.

I have been reading this so excuse me jumping in.
If you paid by credit card the company need only go back into the payment screen and post a credit back for that amount.
Verizon took this posters money in seconds, so they can give it back the same way. And they can do it.
Secondly as I just did this morning you can call your credit card company and they will do a charge back, this can be for defective goods and services, double billing, incorrect billing, failure to provide what was paid for ( as in my case and not Verizon) the card issuer will credit back that amount and notify the merchant why it was taken away.
Very few times is a charge back not placed permanently back to their customers account.
Now what "Treasury Department" are you referring to? it would be accounts receivable or accounts payable in Verizon's finance office. The US Treasury has zero to do with it.
Original poster, just keep on AMEX for the money back. They have limited time to put the amount back,
Good Luck

Deceptive billing practices

I will start out by saying the service itself appears quite good, unfortunately I've allowed myself to be tricked into a extra fees and a montly bill that is double the old bill.   I did not see anything mentioning monthly smart phone access fee of $40 bucks on top of my new 2 year contract. Another surprise was the $40 upgrade fee(not including tax). The agent selling the plan and phone mentioned that there would be a one time fee he called an access fee. I was certainly not made aware that I would get a monthly $40 dollar fee on top of the new plan, one that already had 2 gig of data included.   Why would you need an access fee in addition to a plan that already includes internet access? I have been a Verizon customer for years and like many on the forum I feel they have never valued my loyalty. My old bill slowy creeped up in cost, while new customers recieved better deals(why was I never transfered to a unlimited text plan?) for roughly the same price $40 versus $39.99.    Too bad the chat and talk sounds as bad as the inability to send an email to customer service, seems like Verizon does not want to address anyones concerns. Regardless I have already filed a complaint with the FCC.

"I was on Nationwide 450(I think). I actually thought I would be paying somewhere around 65 dollars, but was surprise to find a unlimited plan with 2 gig of data for $40. My joy lasted up until I received a $150 bill last night. I thought I would receive $100 bill, $100 is going to be close to my monthly bill. I will pay close to an extra $1000 for my two year contract. I would love to put that on my college loan."
2 Gigs for $40 is for only data. Data plans are just that, data, not talk and text.
Current plans are ala carte.
All customers are required to pay for their phones, one way or another. If you upgrade using a 2 year contract, you pay a one time $40 upgrade fee.
The parts of your plan are: 1. Data. 2.   Line access (includes unlimited talk text and essentially your phone payments)
3.   Taxes 4. Insurance if you added it (you have 30 days to add it if you did not)
Your first bill will include a prorated month, current month, data plan and one time upgrade fee of $40.
You may change your data plan on your account online if you ever need more data, even if it's a temporary change. Or reduce it if you never come close the to limit.
Your regular monthly bill will be $80 plus tax, which in some stated would be about $100 a month.

FCC Complaints!

I encourage everyone who has unresolved customer service issues and bad service with Verizon to file FCC Complaints. Maybe, if all these people VZW treats badly file complaints, someone will actually do something about it!
You can file your complaints at: http://www.fcc.gov/complaints

3/12/2014 - 21:24 Eastern. Problem and I will be filing an FCC Complaint tomorrow. I am not complaining about a person but about Verizon Wireless' lack of process to handle customer service issues and complaints in a timely manner. I have been a customer continuously since August of 2004. We have no landline phone so I must call on the cell phone. (OK, if we had a signal I could call on my husband's cell but…)
On 3/12/2014 at 18:55 I called Verizon Wireless at 800 922-0204 and was on hold and then with a technician for a total of 22 min. I have no issue with this wait. My situation: Sitting in my living room in my usual spot with normally 4 to 5 bars of 3G signal strength on iPhone 4 iOS 7.1, I had 1 bar of 1x and that was only after turning on roaming and updating my roaming capability. This has happened in prior years and it signalled that Verizon had an Antenna down or out of position. I attempted to tell the person on the phone but she insisted I work through troubleshooting the problem on my phone (which I had already done). She then suggested I hang up and remove the battery to effect a soft reset (which you don't do on an iPhone 4!) and she would take another person in the rota and call me back. And continue this until she reaches me.
She did call me back at 20:25 - unfortunately since I have no signal, all I got was a voice mail message that I can't acccess.
AND no one has logged the service issue that I tried to report - that, probably due to the high winds in our area, their Antenna isn't working - and they could cut down on the incoming calls and frustrated customers simply by posting that there is a potential known issue affecting service in blah blah area and prepare to use other forms of communications in emergencies.

File your Complaints with the FTC and FCC!

I have filed complaints with the FCC and the FTC online. Verizon has been deceptive in implementing the new policy change regarding unlimited data. Verizon needs to be above board with this issue and stop trying to trick everyone who assumes they are "grandfathered in" with their unlimited data. File your complaints today!

What has been deceptive about it? If you purchase a subsidized phone, you will lose your unlimited data. If you migrate to the Share Everything plan, you will lose your unlimited data.
Seems to be pretty straight forward.
If you continue on your current plan with the same phone, you ARE grandfathered in and will continue to get your unlimited data. If you purchase a new phone at full retail or activate a phone from another source, you ARE grandfathered in and will continue to get your unlimited data. Both of these could change in the future, though. Contrary to popular belief, being grandfathered in does not mean FOREVER. As of right now, this is the case, though.

Deceptive Business Practices

I have been paying for my 86 year old mothers cell phone for years on my AT&T account. This week she went to the AT&T Wireless store on Trindle Road in Camp Hill to get a new phone. Instead of the store rep, Billie H[edited for privacy – please do not post personal information], calling me for authorization as the account holder, he sold her a new pre-paid phone and accessories for several hundred dollars. When I discovered this deceptive business practice today, I immediately called AT&T Wireless customer don't care. The agent couldn't help me so I had to wait for over an hour to speak to a supervisor. I then went to the store and complained to the big fat store manager who could have cared less about what happened. So now I am going to file a formal complaint against AT&T Wireless with the PA Public Utilities Commission and the Bureau of Consumer Protection in the PA Attorney General's office.

It can all be returned within 14 days.
The sales slip should identify the sales person.
This should be brought to the attention of the manager, and a busy Saturday is a good day to do so.
My sister and I each have one of our parents phones on our account. They don't really understand the process much, but they have been good about letting us handle it.
Sorry this happened.

How do I file a complaint about horrible, incompetent and negligent customer service?

I might sound super rambling but I am very frustrated and just tired of explaining the situation over and over and over.
On Wednesday, January 21st, I got a call from Verizon Loyalty Department about a "promotion", which I get $25 credit on each line if I upgrade with edge plan. I wasn't sure what phone to change, so I asked them to call me back on Friday. They called me on Thursday, but I couldn't get the call, so I called them on Friday and talked to the customer service. I wasn't still sure about the upgrades, so I asked them about the upgrades with $25 credit would still apply several weeks later if I decide to upgrade, the first representative whom I've talked to looked at my plan and said something like, "Yes, that is absolutely possible. I was looking through your plan, and since you are a loyal customer and ended your 2 year contract with us, I can give you $25 off on your each line. I asked them would I still get the $25 credit for each line when I upgrade to edge plan. He said yes because the $25 off that he is giving me is for the monthly charge and the edge plan $25 credit was for the equipment charges. So Month to Month $25 off was applied on the Jan 24th, and activated on 29th.
After I finally decided to upgrade my phone, I called Verizon customer service the next week. I do not recall the exact day but on 28th or 29th I called to upgrade it, and the second representative also assured me that the credits were going to happen, and then he offered me to bump down my data to 6 gb from 8 gb to save money because I use less then 6 gb each month. I bumped down to 6gb loyalty plan so I was only paying $60 per month instead of $70 per month. The representative told me I would be only paying around $120 per month. I forgot to ask my sister what phone she wanted to change, so I didn't upgrade it right a way. So only the data plan changed on that day.
I was extremely busy with my work for few weeks, and I finally called again to upgrade it, the third representative told me different old me that the previous representative was wrong about giving me another $25 credit when I upgrade with edge plan. So I ended up upgrading both of my lines with $25 credit on each line plus $60 for 6gb data. But she said I would be still paying less then what I normally pay, which is around $183. I upgraded and took me few days to receive my phone. I checked my bill and it was showing different than what I was told. I called again and explain all this thing again and the lady adjusted my data plan - 6gb loyalty plan for $50. She said she doesn't know what other representative was doing, but this will fix that I would only pay around $150-160 per month. After I got my phone, I called verizon to activate my phone (I don't really remember it was before or after, I just talked to them too many times and they have changed my promotions and plans too many times in very short time). He also confirmed $25 credit off for each line, but there was one time tax fee that none of the representative has mentioned while I asked bunch of questions about the upgrading fee and how much it would cost on the first month and etc.)
After all of that happened, I was settled and didn't think about the payment until I got $290 with only $15 credit on my bill. I called again and asked what happened and the representative told me she doesn't know why this happened and why the previous representatives told you something that weren't true. and I had to go through the explanation again. She said she fixed it and everything was taken care of.
I checked my bill today. My plan was changed to $90 for 6gb and I was paying $30 more than I originally paying which was around $180 and $50 more than I was supposed to pay. I called the representative today, explained the previous situation and asked why this happened. Basically he told me that all the previous representatives were lying to me. Are you kidding me? They were lying to me? How am I suppose to know if he wasn't "lying" to me? He said only thing he can do is change back to my original plan and amount, and I would pay $6 more than what I used to pay which was about $183.. I asked me if I would get the the 8gb back. He told me that isn't possible. The change did not happen so far. I am tired of calling verizon and more tired of getting different answers from different representative.
I am seriously concerning about changing my service to different carrier. I have to call the verizon every single month when there is a change in my plan. If they were really lying about the promotion and plan just to sell more service, they should be suspended or fired or something, and I need my money back for overcharged fee and need some kind of compensation for my wasted time and stress I got from this.

Okay. You are just missing the whole point, and I am not saying anything after this. I did go to the website to read about the edge plan after I got a call from the loyalty department. I asked the questions on some parts I didn't understand (or was confused of) to the representatives. But my main question was whether I was getting $25 credit and in what conditions. They all answered differently to the same question. (My original question - Do I get the $25 credit with edge plan?- One rep. offered me that month to month $25 off before my upgrade. Other rep. confirmed $25 off plus $25 credit with edge and offered bumping down data plan to save extra money. Another rep denied $25 off plus $25 credit with edge but confirmed decrease in my monthly payment by bumping down the data plan. Other rep denied both. You see what I am talking about? I asked one question to begin with: am I getting the $25 credit with edge upgrade plan - and they are the one who offered me different promotions and offers)
I also left the part that I actually went to the website and 'researched' the different plans that all the representatives were talking about after I hung up on the phone each time. I joined the forum today because I wanted to know where and how I could file the complaints on verizon customer service after today's call. I should have been more clear on what I was asking, but I thought I was clear enough on my title "How do I file a complaint...?" Yes I am angry at the fact I didn't get what I thought I was getting, but I am more frustrated the fact every single time I talked to the customer service I get an answer from the rep. I am on the phone, saying "Previous representative you've talked were wrong about this," or "They were lying." The representative, then, would fix my issue, but I would still get the conflicted bills. Don't I suppose to call the customer service to fix it? What's the customer service for if it's not for that?

How to file a Complaint with Verizon

I don’t know how to file a complaint with, or about, Verizon customer service. After calling Verizon I was shuffled between departments, supervisors, and finally directed to “verizon.com/contactus”. After spending an hour browsing the “contact us” section of the website, it became abundantly clear that I would not be able to find what I was looking for on the website.
A month ago I was in the middle of the moving process and was dreading the seemingly inevitable process of setting up the internet/television/phone, a process that I had to do many times before. My son had informed me of Verizon’s transfer service, also known as “Moving with Verizon”. As we were only moving 3 miles down the road, I figured that I would visit my local Verizon store as this would continue to be the store I turn to if I chose to stay with Verizon. I had several concerns that I wanted to have addressed, chief among them were:
- I have built up a significant number of movie titles in my digital library. If I stay with Verizon, will I be able to keep the movies that I had purchased?
- Each time I move I am inconvenienced with having to distribute my new phone number to my friends and family. Will I be able to keep my current phone number if I stay with Verizon?
- When I first started with Verizon I had significantly less credit with Video on Demand than I do now. If I stay with Verizon, will I have to go through the grueling process of building up my credit again?
The sales associate was very kind and willing to help. I was assured that
-          I should be able to retain my purchases with Video On Demand
-          I can bring my phone number from my previous address
-          My Video on Demand credit could possibly be reset after the transfer, but a single phone call to customer service could set my credit back to normal with minimal effort
Throughout my questioning I was assured that my current services would transfer uninterrupted by the time of the move. As you could imagine I was ecstatic. We scheduled a technician to show up to the new house, when I asked the representative on the phone “What should I do with my current cable boxes and internet router while I wait for the technician?” I was told that the technician would handle it.
The technician arrived two weeks ago, we were given a box and instructed to package the previous equipment and drop it off at our local Verizon store. The technician gave us our new number, when we asked him about our previous number he appeared to not know what we were talking about.   He was apologetic about the mix up and gave us a phone number that we could contact. Shortly after the technician left, my family noticed that our digital library was completely empty. The next day I went back to the Verizon store, was apologized to, and then instructed to only place one order in at a time, because multiple orders on a single account tend to slow each other down. We decided to resolve the issues one at a time starting with the phone.
My wife called and was told to wait a day or two. After waiting two days, my wife informed me that she was bounced between different departments over the course of several days, but was assured that the issue was resolved. I told my wife that I would handle the future endeavors with Verizon as she appeared to be a little flustered by the experience. I later received a courtesy call from Verizon confirming that our phone number was restored. I asked the lady whom I was talking to whether she could help me with my VoD service or transfer me to someone who could. She assured me that she could help and asked me whether or not we had received new set-top boxes for our televisions. After I informed her of the new boxes, she apologized to me and informed me that due to copyright infringement laws that our digital library was lost and that we could not receive any kind of compensation. I decided to call customer service, and after talking to representative for almost half an hour I was placed on hold and then told that there was nothing that could be done at this time and that I was going to be disconnected, before I could respond I was hung up on.
Three nights ago I took my concern back to the Verizon store as I dropped off our previous equipment. I was given several new phone numbers. That evening I spent over 2 ½ hours on hold waiting for a representative. After explaining my situation I was transferred to another representative who worked with me and put in a work order to have our digital library restored. I was quoted 48 hours, but the issue was resolved that evening.
Not intending to cause any more issues with Verizon until our digital library issue was resolved, my family abstained from renting or purchasing any movies from Video on Demand. I had promised my son and grandson that if the movies were restored, I would add the new Star Trek movie to our library so that we could watch it together. I was slightly irked to realize that when I tried to add a new title to my library an error message would pop up. I called the number on the message and entered the error code. I was placed on hold for almost an hour. When I finally reached a representative, he informed me that the problem was that my credit had been reset during the move and the issue could only be resolved by another department which had just closed for the evening. I decided to work at home the next day so that I could watch the movie when my son came home that evening. The next morning I called and realized that the opening time quoted to me was obviously in a different time zone. When I finally reached an agent, 2 hours later, I was told that I was 5 dollars over my credit limit. I informed the representative of my situation, as proof I pointed to the fact that the bill that I had paid earlier this week was almost 200 dollars more than my current statement. I was asked to wait 30 minutes and to call back if the issue hadn’t resolved itself within an hour. An hour later I called, explained my situation to another representative, and was told to call back in an hour if the problem hadn’t resolved itself. An hour later I called and after being sent to several different representatives I was asked to call back in an hour if the issue hadn’t resolved itself.
Meanwhile my wife was contacted at worked by Verizon, informing her that there was no record of us returning the equipment and that we could be facing additional charges if we did not straighten out the issue. After spending the next several hours assuring my wife and showing her how on the receipt, each piece of equipment was clearly scanned and entered into the system, I decided to call customer service again as my VoD was still displaying the same error message. I was apologized to yet again, and was told that my order was being slowed down due to a high number of unresolved issues on our account. I was assured that he would clear out the mess and that we should be able to order movies that evening, if not I should call back in 24 hours. I apologized to my son and grandson yesterday evening, both of them took it surprisingly well. This evening I waited until 7:30 to contact customer service (31 hours after I was told to wait 24 hours), I was placed on hold again and again for over an hour and a half. I finally was told that my account would be cleared out to resolve the issue, I informed the gentleman that I was already told that would be done and then referenced the ticket number that I had received (and double-checked) from the gentleman the day before. After speaking to his supervisor about the issue I was informed that there was no record of this action nor was there any ticket number matching the one I had given him. The gentleman tried to help me for several more minutes until he transferred me to another department because neither he nor his supervisors could understand why my account wasn’t letting him change the date on my ticket, as he had reset all my resolved issues.
I explained my situation to the representative who after reviewing my account information informed me that I could have had the issue resolved on the 29th of August but someone during my process removed my order. She then informed me that due to the number of unresolved orders on my account the system could not let her schedule a credit increase until the 26th of September. After repeatedly asking her what I could do to expedite this process, I came to realize that all she could do was repeat to me the information that she had already said. I then asked her who I could talk to resolve this issue or file a complaint. After rambling for several minutes I was then transferred to the billing department. After explaining my situation, yet again, to another representative, my account was reviewed again, and I was once again informed that I was over my credit limit. After going into details a little more intimately, I was assured that the earliest that I could receive the credit increase was the 26th of September, and that I should make another payment. I informed her that I had just paid over $550 dollars on my last bill and had given up the majority of my free time over the last 2 weeks trying to resolve issues that I was assured wouldn’t be a problem by a Verizon representative.   I asked if I could receive a small credit to my account ($30) so that I could just watch the movie and feel like I received a small victory for sacrificing so much of my time. She informed me that only her supervisor could make that call. She informed me that I would have to wait around 15 minutes on hold (what’s 15 minutes when I’ve already waited 8+ hours on hold?). After explaining my situation to Cornell he reviewed my account and then reworded what I had just told him. He informed me that the department that deals with my issue (the department that just transferred me to billing) was now closed and that I would have to wait until Tuesday (4 days) to have my issue resolved. After explaining the fruitlessness of dealing with that exact department with the exact information he was trying to send me off with, he placed me on hold for several minutes and then came back and agreed to only meet me half way, a $15 dollar credit. I was extremely offended. This is not even 3% of my average bill. $15 for 2 weeks of unsatisfactory service, in addition to 12+ hours of my personal time in addition to my wife’s time and visiting the Verizon store. After explaining to Cornell that $15 was less than satisfactory, I asked for an email address or a complaint line. He agreed with me that it was frustrating and explained to me that it was getting late for his department “almost 11:40 in the evening”, the exact time where I am. He gave me Verizon.com/contactus, which after reviewing the page, I became insulted. I have continually followed up with my phone calls and stayed loyal to Verizon, following the instructions of each representative that I have talked to in the last several days.
Verizon has provided both my family and me with an excellent entertainment package as well as outstanding customer service in the past. I would like to believe that despite the fact that I was lied to by both a sales representative and a supervisor that my family’s experience over that last few weeks with Verizon is not a common one. I am more than willing to place this movie order on my next bill, all I ask is that you please help me to enjoy the advertised early release and to enjoy the services I previously had with your company.

We've been having problem with our Verizon Fios set up since the moment we moved in to our new place. We've had several technicians come through, and then eventualy aftet two weeks of setting up appoitments and calling the customer service folks, they were finally able to resolve the issue. However, the nightmare doesn't end here. Last week, our neighbors switched over to Verizon Fios, and their technician swtiched our cables with theirs ( what a sloppy, lazy, job) meaning that they unplugged everything that was running to our apartments and transferred over to their becuase they didn't want to put in the extra work to chech and make sure that everyone was getting service. After, we had noticed the problem, my husband called customer service to put in a ticket for the technician to come through and resolve the issue. The ticket was made for Wednesday, Nov 7th, 2013 under ticket number {edited for privacy}, the rep had clealry stated that a technician will come anytime from 3 - 7, which meant that one of us had to be home. My husband took off work and waited for the technician to come through, however, NOBODY showed up. Instead, they told us that they were came at 5 oclock but nobody was home. The same day we called customer service again, and reschudeled to the next day. Thankfully, someone showed up at literally 7pm, meanwhile my husband was waiting at home since 3pm. After hounding them down and calling every hour to make sure that they would show up. Sure enough, they coudn't fix the wiring with out a bucket truck, which the technician mentioned he didn't have since it was already late in the game and eveything was closed. So again, my husband called to make another appoitment, for Saturday, November 9th, 2013, and again, the customer service people confirmed that someone will show up on this day from 8am-12pm. Guess what!? NOONE came, because NOONE issued a ticket, meanwhile we knew for a FACT that we made an appoitment. It's been one week, and no end to this problem. I am appalled, that a multibillion dollar company such as Verizon has such poor customer service in this area. It is sickening and sad, that noone can come and fix a small issue such as this. I hope that this will be resolved tomorrow, ( as they confirmed that they will come on Sunday) if not we have no other choice but to cancel our services and switch to something else. If only Google fiber was in town, things would have been so much easier, and not OVERPAID, especially now with the CRAPPY service we've been getting.

Bani tells me that he cannot see any service order in the system for this issue. He states that he "doesn't have backdoor access" and only the Service Center has back door access to see all the information needed. Bani then STATES "it looks like someone at the store (Best Buy in Garner, NC) CANCELED THE SERVICE ORDER. Bani tells me that someone from the Service Center will have to call me back and that the Service Center will have to make a NEW Service Order. He asked a couple of times if there was more than 1 phone on this Protection Plan......NO there is not! Bani tells me that I will get a call back in 24 to 48 hours.
EMPTY PROMISES AGAIN

I relay all the info from my last call to Nichole.

Nichole seems genuinely concerned about this problem and asked that I give her time and she will call me back. Ended call at 12:57 PM.
11/22/14 4:00 PM (I think) Voicemail from Nichole stating that I need to call someone else. ***At least she called back!!
11/22/14 6:00 PM - The number I was asked to call routed me to CANADA! Julian (in CANADA) said he didn't know why I was calling him and transferred me to someone else - Jennifer.
11/22/14 ?? PM - Jennifer said that she COULD NOT RESOLVE this issue and gave me yet another Case ID {removed per forum guidelines} with a PROMISE TO CALL BACK IN 24 TO 48 HOURS. NO CALL BACK!!!!!!!!!! NO RESULOTION!!! EMPTY PROMISES AGAIN
11/26/14 10:50 AM - Ann - customer service rep. After reviewing this file, Ann could find NO SERVICE REQUEST. She recommend that I go to BestBuy.com and use the "contact us" to let them know about the issues. She then told me to expect a call back in 1 to 2 business days. Ann also gave me yet another Case ID {removed per forum guidelines}.
11/26/14 12:44 PM – Nichole, Geeksquad Manager at Best Buy in Garner, NC Nichole said that the order needs to be “recreated”. This CANNOT be accomplished because they already have the phone which Nichole agreed. Nichole is to once again call someone in the corporate team……. Called ended at 12:57 PM

Bill,
NO PHONE, NO SOLUTION AS OF TODAY 12/9/14
You can add this to the previous post. All the information should flow time wise. I'm pretty sure I'll not hear back from you, since everyone is too busy to take ownership of this problem. This started WAY before Black Friday and continues WAY after Black Friday. I responded to Derald......AT NO TIME HAS THIS ACCOUNT BEEN IN QUESTION. An address change at the bank was needed on the card. Even IF this account had not been paid in December IT WOULD NOT AFFECT THE OCTOBER REPAIR! How dare Best Buy use that tactic as yet another ploy!
11/26/14 – As of today after I posted to Facebook Brian {removed per forum guidelines}, Market Service Manager, is aware of this issue. Brian {removed per forum guidelines} is obviously someone with enough clout to resolve this issue (I believe he is a regional or district manager).

Thank you for contacting us. I am sorry to hear about the issues with having the phone serviced. I have a couple of questions for you before I proceed. Under whose name is this phone and the Geek Squad Protection Plan and is their monthly payment plan up–to-date?

There is NO MONTHLY payment for this plan.
****Derald asked that I “Please reply at your earliest convenience”. Wonder how inconvenient it is to resolve this issue for these folks!!
12/1/14 5:05 PM – Nichole called me back. Nichole has still NOT received any information to be able to resolve this issue. Nichole is THE ONLY PERSON at Best Buy or Geeksquad that has bothered to contact me or help me in any way. Her hands are obviously tied.
12/2/14 Michael {removed per forum guidelines} – I CALLED, yet again, to the Garner, NC Best Buy and asked for Nichole. After being on hold quite some time, Michael {removed per forum guidelines} come on the line and tells me that he has NO NEWS about this problem!! Nichole has obviously sent my call to him rather than answer me. Michael states that he WAS GOING TO CALL TODAY (this call was made late afternoon). Still no phone OR anyone with enough sense to be able to get through the system and figure this out.
12/2/14 4:45 PM – Nichole calls me and tells me that XXXX’s credit card needs to be updated in order to process this claim…….WHAT?????????? So, we run to the bank before they close (note the time) and get the credit card address information updated. We have recently moved and I have been telling whoever I talk to about that in case the REPLACEMENT phone had been sent to the wrong address. REMEMBER, the first empty box came to the NEW ADDRESS. Also, I gave the NEW ADDRESS to Michael {removed per forum guidelines} yesterday!!!
12/2/14 5:?? PM – I called Nichole to let her know that the credit card address had been updated today. She was looking for a way to email someone to let them know, because she had NO OTHER way to contact the escalation team, no phone number…..REALLY?

Hello jlippard-
I absolutely apologize for the lateness of this response. We are extremely backlogged from the holiday and Black Friday and trying to catch up.
It certainly sounds like you are experiencing an extremely frustrating situation and I am truly sorry to hear about the issues going on with your phone. I saw that you had also reached out to us through our Facebook channel and my colleague Derald was able to respond to you. I believe that he is waiting on some information from you to proceed, so if you have not yet replied to him, I would encourage you to do so. Hopefully he can help you sort this all out and reach a resolution for you.
Thanks for connecting with us.
Sincerely,
Bill
Seems they are too busy (really, since October) to handle this and one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing. I had already responded to Derald and have received NO RESPONSE BACK.
12/5/14 – Afternoon – STILL NO PHONE HAS ARRIVED AND NO ONE HAS CALLED! I called Nichole, Geeksquad Manager, Garner, NC Best Buy. Note that Nichole is the MANAGER! Nichole has received notification that they are TRYING TO SOLVE THE ISSUE! I’m very angry at this point! Up until this call, I have been very respectful AND extremely patient! I said to Nichole “what do I need to do at this point, call the media? WRAL 5 On Your Side? This is BEYOND belief! THE ABSOLUTE WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED! Nichole agreed that I have been respectful and patient and that SHE would also be very angry. Nichole said she would be angry as a Mother and as a customer.
12/8/14 - WELL BLESS MY SOUL! A package arrived today to the OLD ADDRESS! The box is EMPTY, NO PHONE! Nichole had previously told me that the “escalation team” was going to RE-CREATE” the service order. Nichole told me this WOULD NOT WORK BECAUSE THERE IS NO PHONE TO RETURN. They already have the phone! I call Nichole, Geeksquad Manager, Best Buy in Garner, NC. Nichole, with an big ‘ole attitude, tells me that because I said I needed to contact the media, she could no longer discuss this with me or help me. Nichole told me to call 1-888-Bestbuy.
12/8/14 4:04 PM – 888-BestBuy - Rebecca in sales department. Rebecca put me on hold for a bit trying to get a manager to help me. She was obviously concerned after pulling up this account and seeing just how bad the customer service has been. With Rebecca being in sales, I guess she gets it. Rebecca hands me off to Catherine. Catherine apologized for the way I’ve been treated and seems to be very concerned about this as well (some I’ve spoken with seem concerned, but NO ONE can ACT – the GM in Garner NEVER SEEMED CONCERNED). Catherine tells me that it would be a good idea to go to the UPS store and get them to track the phone sent on 11/5/14! Really…we have been told the phone was received! We have also been told the serial number did not match…….. Catherine tells me that it is NORMAL that the serial number doesn’t match if there has been prior repairs (which there has been). ANOTHER PROMISE TO CALL BACK IN 24 TO 48 HOURS. Another day……….. NO PHONE, NO RESOLUTION!
47 DAYS, 30 documented phone conversations (some not even documented), MANY EMPTY promises of a CALL BACK, Delayed or NO email responses and COUNTLESS hours (mine and theirs) NO RESOLUTION from anyone!!! Paying for a SmartPhone plan for going on 2 months with NO SMARTPHONE! The amount of time they have wasted taking my calls would equate to just giving me a new phone! My time would equate to 3 new phones. The amount spent on a phone plan service that can’t be used is ridiculous. This Geeksquad plan is and has been in good standing for the entire duration of this issue. The madness just doesn’t stop!
The amount of money WASTED on this one issue is unbelievable! Corporate Best Buy and Geeksquad are spending untold thousands of dollars with POOR MANAGEMENT such as this and passing on the expense to the consumer!!
If you're planning on shopping/purchasing at #bestbuy or using #geeksquad this holiday season, consider this post on customer service. Imagine how you would feel if a family member or friend had to deal with this type of service, especially for a gift!!!

Verizon won't let us activate a new basic phone. Just filed FCC complaint

My mom has had this Verizon plan for nearly 10 years. It's not a bargain by any means. It's $12 a month plus $0.25 a minute. Kind of a rip-off. But she likes the plan. Anyway, she recently added a $10 texting plan and talked to one of the sales managers at the store about getting a new phone (texting with a flip phone isn't practical.) He said she couldn't get a new phone with a QWERTY keyboard because she still has a year left on her contract, but recommended she get a phone elswhere, or buy one. She asked multiple times if Verizon would be able to activate the phone, and the salesman said yes multiple times. So she bought a new texting phone, an EnV3.
She called up Verizon to activate it, and they told her that the plan is no longer valid and any device switch would involve changing plans to a more expensive version. Keep in mind she's under contract after she got a new flip phone last year. What should I do? The store couldn't activate the phone either. I'll try online but not sure if it will work. I filed an FCC complaint though so maybe that will help. Otherwise, I'm getting my mom off Verizon once the contract is up. AT&T is good in our area, and even T-Mobile is. At least you get what you pay for with them.

kgor93,
After ten years of loyalty, we want to see your mom here for another ten strong. Pending which plan she is on, a Verizon Wireless device like an EnV3 may require current pricing plans in order to make the switch. Do you happen to know the exact name of the plan she's currently on as well as the offerings? Also, which device does she currently use? We're going to do everything we can to express options to make sure she gets some proper help so she can stay on board.

I need to file a complaint. Fraud is happening and no one is assisting.

ello anyone at Verizon- I need to file a formal complaint about a huge issue that is going on in a local store as well as the customer service number. I have called over 5 times in the course of 2 months to have an issue a resolved and each time I talk to someone I am told that the issue is being taken care of. I feel like I am getting the run around with no resolution.
In July of this year I went into my local store to get the Father's day deal. $99 for any smart with a 2 yr contract. I went into the store and was told that I was eligible for the new phone. The sales person spoke very quickly about this "edge program" and told me that all I had to do was give him my HTC and that I would get my new Iphone5s. I did all this and then I get my first bill and to my surprise when I looked very closely at what I was paying for, I found that I was making monthly payments for an Iphone that was $650!!!! Who is crazy enough to pay that much for a phone when they were told they were paying $99, and gave them an HTC?
I called customer service and spoke to Edgar he said that he was sorry and that I should contact the store manager and they would be able to resolve it. I followed Edgar's advice and spoke to Alex the store manager and he said he would do some research and call me back. He never did.
I called customer service the again and spoke to Kayla who was exceptionally helpful. She remembered the promotion and was determined to get this issue resolved. She even put me on hold to call the local store to speak to someone and promised she would have all this resolved. She also wrote extensive notes only acct for those to follow. She told me that I would be merged out of the Edge Programs into a 2 year contract. I would not be paying $650 for the phone and would be reimbursed for any payments I made towards that ridiculous balance.
I called back after a couple weeks and I was still paying for the $650 phone and I was EXTREMELY upset at this point because I had to keep following back to see if Verizon had done their job. This is not my responsibility. I was promised follow up calls and emails ensuring that my issue was being resolved. Still nothing.
I called and spoke to Ashley this time. I gave the WHOLE detailed issue AGAIN and said she got an approval from her manager to sending my case to corporate. She had to fill out a form and send it off. She promised a call after 5 days for a follow up. She never called. She provided me a confirmation #(removed).
I called again and spoke to Luann asking if she could give me a status of my confirmation # where she stated that there are no notes in my acct for this #. So was this just a gimmick to get me to give up? Or did it in fact get sent off somewhere and its now lost? At this point I am extremely disappointed in Verizon and their customer service. I feel like I have been lied to, cheated out of money, so someone could get commission, and just upset. Oh by the way the manager and sales person no longer work at the store. I wonder what happened there?
Could someone resolve this?!!! I would like to know where my confirmation # went and if this going to be resolved? I am seriously contemplating switching carriers and reporting this to the authorities. This is negligence as well as fraud. I appreciate any sincere solution to this matter.
Thanks

File a complaint with them. Verizon will call you to fix the blunder.
But remember it is always up to the customer to insure what they are getting and what it costs. Don't trust the word of a sales person who makes their living on getting that sale. Lies, deceit or false promises will be and have been used by sales people for thousands of years.
Good Luck

How do I file a complaint about the service I received from Verizon and if I file a complaint, will anything really change?

I was considering changing service carriers for two of my children on our Verizon plan. The plan was extremely expensive and my two high school aged children had very old slide phones (one wouldn't even receive calls anymore!) I had another carrier that was much more reasonable for what they needed and they were both able to get smart phones for $100. I called Verizon over the holidays to check if the phones were under contract. The customer service representative asked what I was thinking about doing. I was very honest and told my plan. I was then told by the representative that the phones were not under contract. I switched my children to the new carrier only to receive a $428 bill for early termination of contract!!!!
When I called back, I was told by the new representative that I did receive correct information. Apparently, I did not ask the "correct" question. The "correct" question would have been, "Are the LINES under contract? (not the phones!) Now, I am trying to file a complaint and have no idea where to find the area for the complaint! Please help!

AmberF
If I port back, I have to take away the two smartphones that I gave my high school children for Christmas. (Sorry kids, Mom is sending back your Christmas gifts because Verizon did not give me the correct information regarding our plan! You get to go back to your 6 year old slide phone, which doesn't receive calls, and your 3 year old slide phone, that doesn't make calls!) Also, if I port back, the best that you can give me is $30/month on these phones unless I purchase new phones from you!
I have decided to write Verizon a letter of complaint. I am willing to concede that maybe I did not use proper terminology when requesting information regarding my plan. I did, however, inform the customer service representative of what I was trying to accomplish and she should have been more upfront with me. I am looking for some type of compromise from Verizon. I just received my Verizon bill and it is $817.58!!!! While this will create a very difficult month for my family financially, I am going to pay the bill in the hopes that Verizon will issue me some type of credit for their part in this debacle!
If I do not receive some type of compromise from Verizon, I now know when the contracts for all my other lines (5 at home and 5 for our business) will no longer be under contract. If Verizon cares so little about their customers that they refuse to admit that they might be somewhat at fault, they will no longer have my business. I will regret this decision, because except for a few minor problems, Verizon has usually been easy to work with. I consider this a major issue. I was trying to be prudent and check the terms of my contract before I made any changes and I don't feel Verizon was honest with their answers.
AmberF, if you can make some sort of financial compromise happen, I will be very happy to thank you! As I stated, $817.58 Verizon bill is going to make February and potentially March very difficult months for my family.

There needs to be a place to file a complaint without having to post on the site.

Since I signed up in July of this year I have had nothing but problems with my bill. First they forgot to add my fios. After calling several times I was told the bill was in the mail. When I called back to see why I hadn't seen my bill (now September) I was told I couldn't be helped because I wasn't a fios customer. I was TRYING to be one. I had the boxes in my house. I simply wanted to PAY Verizon for service. A few weeks later I came home and my cable was turned off. My account had been canceled. After calling for days on end and sitting on the phone for an average of two hours a call it seemed no one had an idea what was going on. Finally tech was sent to my home to fix what was an offline problem. The tech walks in with NO IDEA that I had boxes and thought he was here for a simple installation.
Today, I was trying to pay my bill online, like I do ever month, and found my account was no long available for online bill pay. Really, Verizon??? I just want to pay you, you're making it very hard.
I asked where I could send a complaint and was told there was really no where to do that. At this point I am more than frustrated with Verizon. Unfortunately, I have no other option in the building where I live.
It's now November and I'm still dealing with this.
I just want a place to file a complaint. I don't want to post on some forum. I don't want to talk to someone in a call center who just wants to get me off the phone. I don't want to chat with a virtual representative. I was to speak with someone at Verizon who can listen to my complaints...of which there are many at this point.

Look for the "contact us" on the verizon pages. http://www22.verizon.com/content/contactus/
Almost all of the forums here are peer to peer. Some verizon admins will occasionaly step in and try to get you help. These admins are usually not able to solve problems for you themselves, but can sometimes give advise or get you in contact with someone who can.

I need help! I need to file a complaint, but have no idea how.

So I am 17 years old, and my mom got me a phone in November because my old phone broke. When we went into the store the guy who sold it to us ripped us off. He told me that we would only have to pay $20 every month for a year if we didn't do the two year contract. But today we found out that my mom would have to pay $22 a month for two years, which is a huge rip off since if we knew that then we would've done the two year contract since that would only be $50 dollars after mail-in rebate. Then she spent two hours talking to customer support, and they just kept on dancing around her question on why her bill went from about $170 to about $400, and then we asked them how to file a complaint since they weren't helping us, and they refused to tell us saying we couldn't. I just want to know so that my mom can calm down. We love Verizon, and this is just ridiculous. I would love it if someone from Verizon or anyone that knows how to do it answers this.
Thank you for reading this,
Hannah

File a complaint, poor customer service

I have been a loyal customer with Verizon since before 2005. I have two wireless plans with seven phones, home phone, dsl, two business line and Verizon will not take care of my service correctly. I am very disappointed.
In July 2011, I purchased two new phones(Droid 3) at a Verizon Store and was given incorrect information about several issues related to the new phones and the current phones (Droid X) being transfered to other phone lines. The specific problem I have a complaint about is at the time of purchase, I requested the new phones (Droid 3) as well as the phones (Droid X) transfered to other lines to have insurance on all four phones.
Currently one of my Droid X phones can not be used related to on/off button not functioning. I have been informed they did not set up the insurance as requested. The phone is still under manufacture warranty but I may have to pay $299.00 to replace this phone. I tried to explain I requested insurance. I was informed there is nothing they can do. I asked to speak to a manager. Kat or Cat came on the phone line.
The situation was explained again. The manager Kat told me I was being dishonest and asking for insurance fraud. I was insaulted. I am a very honest person and she has no right to speak to me this was. I need to make this clear. Everyone else I spoke to was just doing their job, no one else was rude. During this phone call, I spoke to three people.
I tried calling back to file a complaint. I spoke to another customer service rep. She said, She understood and took my complaint. She was going to try to resolve the problem, put me on hold, then returned to the phone right away and said she was not able to do anything.
My problem still exists. Phone is not working and I am paying for service I am not happy with. I don't understand how they expect me to pay for a Verizon employee making a mistake. I would rather pay the penalties to cancel contracts and switch providers. Very unhappy. Unfortunately, my new Droid 3 is having problems too.

mmissymouse wrote:
I purchased 2 new Droid 3, transfered the 2 older Droid X to other lines. Yes, I did have insurance on the Droid X phones originally. From the day I purchased the phones. They forgot to put it back on when they transfered them and it was added to the new phones. Or at least I hope so. I need to check that also. I do not know how Verizon handles their insurance and am unsure of whether or not insurance will transfer along with a phone to a new line. So whether or not they forgot to add it back on or don't allow it to transfer, I do not know. Sorry, I missed that you had purchased (2)new phones.
As far as noticing, my bill is very long and I missed it. Did you notice how many items are in my bills and how many product I purchase?Since this is a customer to customer forum and I cannot see your bill, NO, I did not notice how many items are in your bills and how many products you purchase. As to MY bill, I check it to make sure I am getting billed for what I am supposed to get billed for and not getting billed for something I do not want.
I went online and looked at the receipts/documents sent to me on this phone and they did not even send me a letter. So as far as there records show, i did not even changed anything. I was sent one for the other phone I transfered.
Any other questions...........

How to File a Complaint

I recently had one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a company with Verizon. I had called to setup my internet and TV in late June for a date in late July. Come late July on the date it was to be installed I recieved an automated call saying my date for installation was being moved. I pressed "2" to not confim this date and speak with a representative. Once I was transferred the representative told me everything was okay and they would be at my place between 1-5 on that day and I had nothing to worry about. Around 4:30 I called customer service to check again and note that the time was getting close. This representative also assured me everything was fine and they would be there soon. He even went as far as to say, "you won't be calling us back." 5:30 comes and again I call and say something and the representative tells me that he must just be running late and I should wait another hour before calling back. Needless to say they never showed up. I called back in an hour but customer service was close. I finally got through to someone in the Repair Service Center and they were let me know I could reschedule for 4 days later to have my services connected. I let them know this was unacceptable and demanded a supervisor. They said okay, I was transferred...but it wasn't to a supervisor...it was to someone in customer service who told me the same thing the last person told me. This representative then placed me on a 20 minute hold for a supervisor and came back to say "the supervisor is still on another call and told me I could give you a $40 bill credit and we could only have the installation moved to 4 days later. The representative then told me he would place a follow-up on my accound and have a supervisor call me in 2 days (the next day was a Sunday so I understood that) and maybe they could move my installation up. That day came and went and I recieved no call from any supervisor or anyone. I called myself today and explained my situation and demanded to speak to a supervisor. I was placed on hold for 10 minutes and was then told by the same representative that nothing could be done but schedule the installation for a much later date. I understand that I can't get it installed any sooner because there are other appointments and they can't bump someone else. I just find it amazing how every person I talked to was incompetent from start to finish. Now I can't even file a complaint to anyone because I can't get a supervisor no matter how many times I ask. I am also now 5GB over my Verizon Wireless data plan because I needed the internet for school work on the day I asked for the installation. So that $40 bill credit I was given is going to go back with them. And the 6-7 hours I waited home all day waiting for installation that never showed...well I guess that was only worth $40. And the 4 extra days I have to wait now with countless hours on the phone and on hold with them...well I suppose that is only worth $40 too. I have been a long customer of Verizon Wirelss and was looking forward to their TV and internet service, but I am having severe doubts. If I can't get through to some sort of supervisor or complaint department within the next day or two I'm going to cancel my installation that is scheduled for two days from now. Please someone tell me how to write an e-mail to Verizon to file a complaint. It baffles my mind that they would allow this to happen to anyone.
