How do I make a complaint with Verizon?

On January 23, 2014, I contacted Verizon Wireless Customer Service because I was experiencing less than satisfactory performance with my HTC One. I purchased the device in September of 2013. Through the first few months I experienced no issues with the device. It was around mid December that the battery performance began to significantly decrease to the point in which I had to charge it multiple times a day to get through the day with it.
            When I contacted customer service I was transferred to a conference call with HTC in which we performed trouble-shooting tasks for the battery. These trouble-shooting tasks did not improve any performance and as a result Verizon sent me a replacement phone.
            The replacement phone I received had more issues with it than the one I returned. On February 1, 2014 I attempted to unlock the phone to answer a message and at this point the phone shut off completely and I was unable to turn it back on or charge for over an hour. I then took it to my local Verizon store in which they were no help to me at all. All the associate did was give me the number to customer service. I went to the store because I wanted personal customer service, I could have easily attained the number from the website. I found this to be extremely unhelpful.
            I then proceeded to call customer service again in which they again transferred me to HTC, I did not know that protocol for customer service at Verizon was to dump their customers onto phone manufacturers. After going through the same trouble-shooting advice with HTC for a second time I was hung up on by both HTC and the Verizon customer service although I was not done voicing my concerns.
            I decided to participate in the customer service survey in which I gave a very poor rating and was informed that I would be hearing from a Verizon Wireless manager, in which I did not, no surprise there.
            With the terrible customer service experience I have dealt with this week I will be looking to take my business elsewhere in the near future as I way out my options between AT&T and Sprint.

I have problems in the charging port, took the phone in and they said it was burnt, from their charger. Told me it was covered but would not replace it. Told me how to do a hard reset which I do 3 times a week minimum. The HTC one is the worst phone I've ever had and was told pretty much to suck it up or upgrade after I just spent several hundred upgrading to this junk. Now I'm worried about submitting a claim and just get the same crap phone.Verizon at one time was great service but now it seems like they don't care about anything but how much money they can scam.

  • How do I file a complaint with Verizon??

    I have been a Verizon customer for many years, since 2009 I believe. I recently bought a house in March, and moved my service from my old address to my new address. Since our offer on our house got accepted and we initiated the process of moving our service, I have had nothing but problems. They cancelled our service a day earlier than requested at our old address. I was told by verizon on mulitple occasions that on the day that service was to be started at my new address that a verizon technician was just going to check a few things on the outside of the house, and that they would not need to come inside. I got a phone call right as I was getting ready to walk into settlement from the technician saying that I was misinformed and that he did infact need to come inside. When I finally made it to the house, he came inside, plugged in the router to a phone jack and then left. I was then charged a fee that I had been previously told would not be charged (although I did get it credited back to my account later). A few moths after moving into my new home, I get a phone call from a verizon representative saying that someone was trying to activate a new account at an address at which I had an existing account. They still had an active account in my name at my old address which was amazing since they had shut my service off a day earlier than planned. I could go on and on and on with the countless issues. The experience I had today just pushed me over the edge. A technician had to come out to my home in the beginning of August to move the service box from one wall to another. I was told when I made the service appointment that I was not going to be charged since it was being moved for a necessary reason, not just convenience. When the technician left, he told me there was a $91 dollar charge. I called and spoke with a supervisor as soon as he left, and was told that I should not be charged that fee becuase again, it was moved because of necessary construction, not just convenience. She told me that it should not appear on my bill, but if it did to call and it would be removed. I looked at my bill today, and low and behold there was that $91 dollar charge. I spoke with a representative that stated she could see in the call history that I was told that I would not be charged, and that a credit would be initiated, but that it would take 1 - 2 billing cycles for that credit to show up, meaning that i am expected to pay it for now. It was the mistake of Verizon for the charge to be put on the bill in the first place, and I am being told that I am expected to pay for their mistake now, and would get the money credited back later. I just moved into a new home so that we could move my disabled mother in law in with us to care for her. I dont have an extra $91 dollars laying around. I have had nothing but negative experiences with Verizon over the last 6 months. There is no consistency from one conversation to the next, and I am always told something different. 99% of the representatives that I have ever spoken too have shown no compassion or desire to have good customer service and this includes many supervisors. I am VERY STRONGLY considering cancelling my account with Verizon all together and am exploring other options for my internet and cable. Please can someone help me??

  • How do I submit a complaint to Verizon?

    Does anyone know if there is a way - other than posts in this forum - to submit a complaint to Verizon about its customer service?  Or am I doomed to wander Verizon's barren wasteland of customer service for eternity? Several weeks ago, I called to order a premium channel and was offered a 50% discount.  I accepted, the channel was turned on, and yesterday I received my bill, with the channel charged at full price.  I called the same number again tonight to get the discount applied, and was told it could not be applied because the Verizon system did not show that I made any calls to Verizon...since 2012.  Had it all been a dream?, I asked myself.  But no, there on my bill it showed that I had clearly called to order the premium channel on March 27th.  Looking back now, I'm not sure why, but I spent several minutes trying to understand how this could have happened, and why it could not be easily remedied by simply honoring the discount, but I had no success.  I asked to escalate this with a supervisor, who I hoped would be able to solve the mystery of the missing discount for me.  Wouldn't you know it, the rep informed me, the supervisors are all in a meeting!  And, miraculously, it was scheduled to end exactly when the customer service office closes, so I would not be getting a return call tonight.  I asked to submit a complaint, upon which I was told I could not submit a complaint about the discount, because there was no notation of the call on which I was offered said discount.  Before my mind had a chance to explode, I asked if there were any other avenues for submitting a complaint about this. Surely that customer service rep is cackling to herself now, having delivered me into the kafkaesque hell that is the Verizon customer service website.  Initially presuming some reasonableness in the design of a major website, I began by clicking on the "Contact Us" link for billing questions, and was rewarded with reams of options for registering my complaint; alas, they appear to have been written in white font on the white Verizon backdrop:Forging ahead, I imposed upon the friendly looking avatar in the upper right to ask the question, "How do I make a complaint?"  The response was vexing indeed: I wondered, am I . . . the first one ever to complain to Verizon?  How else to explain the machine's inability to comprehend such a simple request?  Excited now, I pressed on for a solution, and found that I could try the Verizon support "community."  So here I am, asking why Verizon would lead me on this path to air my complaint for all to see, my criticism snowballing, rather than provide an easy way to seek an answer to my original question. Unfortunately, unlike fictional travelers of an infinite loop, attempting to navigate Verizon's "customer support" has cost me an hour of my night and fair amount of my sanity.  If anyone has any ideas how to escape this, they would be very much appreciated.

    Two days now, I have been attempting to get an answer. Yes, I have a complaint. And, the documentation to support it exists. Have been a long time FiOS customer in Newton, MA (must be over 15 years). We were one of the first on our street to pioneer with Verizon. And, we have had nothing but great things to say about the product service, technical support (when needed) and the customer support (when needed). We are in the process of retiring to Virginia and on our list of "needs" was a FiOS wired home.On July 28th, Verizon confirmed FiOS was available in the actual UNIT we were looking to buy (this knowledge led us to seal the deal on the condo -- that's how important FiOS quality and service is to us!). Here is a copy of our resulting online Verizon FiOS order for service at the condo that we purchased on August 4th. I also have an accompanying transcript of the Chat discussion where an actual (as in "alive") customer service agent walked me through this order. We ordered all the same FiOS services as we had in Newton, FiOS to FiOS. (Note the titles "FiOS" that appear below on our actual order ).Service Address[address redacted]
    RICHMOND, VA, 23231Order InfoOrder number: VA111... [redacted]
    Order date: Jul 28, 2015View a copy of your Billing EstimateIncluded in this order:FiOS Internet 30 Mbps/ 5 MbpsFiOS TV Ultimate HDVoiceView Channel LineupOn August 5th, the Verizon technician arrived as scheduled to complete the hook up to FiOS. Let's get to the point. What we have in our condo is internet, cable tv, and phone (yep, the bundle) delivered over a DSL phone line! Yes, FiOS fiber optic is connected to the building's basement. And ends there. From that point on, a telephone wire is used to connect the condo down to the FiOS line in the basement. A DSL telephone wire (from the stone ages!!) that is incapable of providing FiOS quality and speed. This deception has led us to purchasing a home that does not have the Verizon services promised by Verizon. To say we're disappointed does not even BEGIN to capture the emotions we are experiencing.VERIZON: Will someone there, with authority, contact us about running coax cable instead of telephone wire and make this right? 

  • 4S Wifi dropped out. How can I make a complaint?

    I've had my iPhone 4S just over a year and its dropped out of wifi (typical..?!) I done some research and reset my network settings, which did temporarily solve the problem (for 1 day!?!?!) but now it has dropped out again and resetting it doesn't solve the issue. I use my phone all day every day as part of my job and not having a wifi connection is eating into my data allowance therefore costing me more money each month!!
    The amount that the phone is worth and after paying £40 a month for my contract I am utterly disgusted that there is no solution to this. It would appear that apple are more than aware of the common fault with the 4s but aren't willing to recall or sort the issue out. I love my iPhone and am shocked at the poor customer service and product standard that is on offer. I would grin and bear it but I can't upgrade my phone until 1st July 2014 (yes my phone is ONLY 1 month out of the warranty!!!!) and to be honest I wouldn't like to trust another 4s!!
    How can I make a complaint and has anyone else been struggling with this too???!!

    Take the device to an Apple Store and pay for the out-of-warranty replacement fee which is $199 usd, not quite sure the price in your currency. Maybe you should have also purchase an applecare plan, how many other cell phone companies give you a 1 year hardware warranty for free? I for one cant think of any, just because it failed a month after you warranty was over has no relevance to anything. And yes you can make a complaint if you really wish too, but if you take a step back and thing about things you will realize that a mobile device working perfectly for over a year in this age of obseletism really isnt that bad.

    Regardless, it is not a matter of carrier locking.  Verizon iPhone 5 phones were never GSM sim-locked to begin with.  Every iPhone Verizon has sold since the introduction of the iPhone 5 has been sold with an unlocked GSM slot, as required in the USA by their agreement with the FCC.  They have not been allowed to sell any iPhone 5, iPhone 5c nor iPhone 5s devices with GSM carrier locking in place.
    Your connection problems are from some other cause - it is NOT a carrier locking issue.

    How can I make textedit start with a new (blank) document?
    Instead of it starting up with a dialogue box to select an existing or start a new document.

    @Alley_Cat thanks for the ideas.
    I turned off System Preferences > iCloud > Documents&Data - problem solved.
    I'll use DropBox instead  - it provides the options for a better experience.  I hope Apple keep working on iCloud so that it doesn't go the way of Moble Me.

  • How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record?

    I would like to use a popup to create new record.
    I created a af:popup by drag and drop a VO from data control to jsff. then, I created a button and place a af:showPopupBehavior. I was able to popup window by click the button.
    however, the window filled with the information from the 1st record. and when I select a record in table and click popup, the popup is filled with that record.
    How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record by saving the popup?
    Thanks

    You can have edit and new buttons, in the PopupFetchEvent identify button source (using popupFetchEvent.getLaunchSourceClientId()) if new button clicked clear the binding using below code.
    If you want to see empty fields, in the popup PopupFetchEvent clear the input component bindings.
    resetBindingValue("#{bindings.<componentid>.inputValue}", null);
        public static void resetBindingValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
            FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            Application app = ctx.getApplication();
            ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
            ELContext elContext = ctx.getELContext();
            ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext,expression,Object.class);
            Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
            valueExp.setValue(elContext,newValue);
        }
