Overage Charge for prior month on first bill

Got my first Verizon bill today and found something interesting.  I was charged for going over my data for the prior month to the tune of $15 for a gig.  Problem is, I've only had the phone for a month and there is no prior month on my account!
Or at least there shouldn't have been.  Looks like my billing cycle started the day after I got the phone, so all the data from setting up my phone in store was overage.  This is crap.  Anyone else notice this?

That one day of the prior billing cycle was prorated based on the data plan you selected and divided by the number of days in the billing cycle.

  • Charged for the month of service before signing up for Verizon

    Hello,
    I signed up for service with Verizon on 1/18/2014. I received my first bill and it is charging me for December 19-January 18. I am quite surprised I am being charged for a month where I wasn't even a Verizon customer. Is this common?
    I tried chat support to talk to someone and literally all options are 'all agents are busy'. Of course no email address for support. I don't want to have to go into a store to remedy this charge. Thanks for any help!

    No they have no right to charge you for service BEFORE you became a customer.
    However on you first bill the closing date is the 18th of January 2014
    You new service should be billed in advance for January 19, 2014 until February 18, 2014 included in this should be your activation fee and one day of service not one month.
    Then there are taxes and verizon fees in that invoice. You bill should show all this line by line, or charge by charge.
    Take it into the store and have someone look at it.
    Verizon does not bill for days you never had service. They bill in advance. If this is what to come, I would just leave, take them to court and get out fast.
    Good Luck
    Oh make sure its a verizon corporate store, not a reseller.

  • Display Net Outstanding Invoice amt only in Cust Statement for prior month

    Hi
    Our Client has requested for the Customer Statement to include only Net Outstanding Invoice balance for prior month while showing all transactions of Invoices and Payments including fully paid transactions for the current month only.  Currently they are not able to reconcile historical payments against Invoice because lots of them are partial payments only.
    Kedalene Chong

    Hello,
    Backdating of the statement is supported in 2007 A / 2007 B versions. Displaying fully
    paid transactions for the current month only will be considered for next release.
    Thanks for the valuable feedback.

  • Hi, we trialed from central and have bought the plus version but have still been charged for another month of the trial. Would you be good enough to refund the charge please considering we have bought the main product?

    Hi, we trialed from central and have bought the plus version but have still been charged for another month of the trial. Would you be good enough to refund the charge please considering we have bought the main product?

    After much back and forth drama, and the assistance of one awesome person at Apple, and also a great iTunes representitive, they have agreed to refund me.
    I have not yet recieved the refund but will post here when I do.
    This has been a long and drawn out headache, but I am glad that finally things seem to be set straight.

  • My ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially died?

    my ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially die?

    maybe you can control the room temperature.... i try to charge iPod shuffle beside the mini fan, so heat from shuffle can blown away... or maybe, you can charge the iPod in Air Conditioned room....
    i think this device have a mechanism to cut off the charging process if device temperature too hot. such a safety system so this ipod won't burn out when overcharging.
    i hope it can help you...
    and trust me IT WORKS....

  • I was penalized with overage charge for upgrading my plan online

    I just switched from AT&T in Oct and signed up with the 700 min Family plan. In Nov, I realized I was going to go over the limit if I don't upgrade my plan. So I went online and upgraded my plan to 1400 min Family plan. When I looked at my current bill yesterday, I was surprised to see there was a $102 overage charge on my bill. I talked to a representative yesterday and asked her to explain about the overage charge. She said because I upgraded the plan online (on demand), my 498 used min were prorated which resulted in 227 min overage.
    I said the reason for my upgrading the plan was to avoid overage. I did not exceed the 700 min in my old plan and I was not aware I am only allowed 25 min a day if I change my plan in the middle of the billing cycle. I can understand the proration of my monthly access charge (from $70 to $90 per month) but I don't understand the proration of used min. I pay for 700 min per month not 25 min a day. She offered me a 25% discount of the overage charge which I did not accept. 
    I called VZW this morning and talked to a different representative. I asked her if I would have upgraded my plan by talking to a representative instead of doing it myself online, will I incur the overage charge. She said the representative would have backdated the change which would avoid the overage charge. I asked her was it fair that because I tried to save VZW resources of not utilizing the time of a customer representative and going online to upgrade the plan myself, I incurred a penalty in the form of overage charge. She couldn't answer my question.
    I asked her if she could remove the $102 overage charge. She said she couldn't but offered to make another adjustment which still resulted in $47.50 overage charge. I thanked her for doing more than the CS the day before and unwillingly accept the adjustment. I told her I am still not satisfied with the settlement and how VZW penalizes customers for trying to make it easy for them by upgrading online directly.
    Lesson learned: Don't upgrade or change anything online without talking to a customer representative. I am looking for a new wireless carrier as soon as I can.

You want the amount you are charged to be pro-rated, but not the amount of minutes you are able to use? Say you start the month with the 700 minute plan and change half way thru to the 1400 minute plan. You want to only pay half of the cost of the 700 minute plan for the 1st half of the month and still use ALL of the minutes? You then want to pay half of the cost of the 1400 minute plan for the  2nd half of the month? After all, you are only on the 1400 minute plan for half of the month. I suppose you should also receive all of the 1400 minutes for the 2nd half of the month? That comes out to 2100 minutes for the price of half of the 700 minute plan + half of the price of the 1400 minute plan. Quite a deal you want there!

She couldn't answer my question. When you do this online, you are able to choose to have the 1400 minute plan take effect at the BEGINNING of the CURRENT billing cycle, which would have prevented you from receiving the overage charge. It doesn't matter whether you do it online or with a representative over the phone/instore, you could have avoided the overage charge by starting the new plan at the BEGINNING of the CURRENT billing cycle(backdating).
    I asked her if she could remove the $102 overage charge. She said she couldn't but offered to make another adjustment which still resulted in $47.50 overage charge. I thanked her for doing more than the CS the day before and unwillingly accept the adjustment. I told her I am still not satisfied with the settlement and how VZW penalizes customers for trying to make it easy for them by upgrading online directly. They don't penalize you for doing this online, as I have pointed out that you have the same choices whether it is online or via a CS rep. They will penalize you, though, if you make a choice which will result in overages.
    Lesson learned: Don't upgrade or change anything online without talking to a customer representative. I am looking for a new wireless carrier as soon as I can.
    Next time, if you are increasing your minute plan, just make sure that you have it backdated to avoid any overages. You can still do it online, though.

  • Charged for canceling service in first 30 days

    Hi, all. In short: I cancelled my Comcast service within the first thirty days of a new plan.  I was told that I wouldn't owe anything if I cancelled within that time, not even termination fees.  However, Comcast is charging me over $40 for that month.  I need to know how to put a stop to that, or else they threaten to ruin my credit history by sending negative reports to the credit bureaus. Recently I changed from an old (non-promotional) plan on Comcast to a new one.  I did so in order to get a reduction in price from $155 per month.  The new plan gave me only a reduction of $15 per month and I was forced to take telephone service as well.  I was told I had thirty days to cancel the service without penalty.  I wouldn't be required to pay anything for those thirty days if I cancelled within that period as well. Comcast claims that I digitally signed an agreement to this effect online.  However, I only remember accepting some terms about E911 related to the phone service. In order to get me the new plan, the Comcast service tech had to sign me up for additional services, because she couldn't get her system to accept the plan as we discussed it.  The additional services pushed the monthly amount to around $190 per month.   I was told that I could cancel them later. A couple of days later, when I received confirmation of those additional services, I contacted Comcast again to cancel those services.  It took some time, but the technician got the job done. Over the period of the following thirty days, I found a better service provider for TV and Internet, so I switched to that and called Comcast to cancel my service.  I told the tech. on the phone that I was told I could cancel free of charge.  She disagreed.  After much arguing, she finally relented and said that I would probably get a refund check. Last week, I finally received a letter from Comcast, with a bill for over $40.  I think this is unfair and I need to get it stopped.  When I try to call them, they put me on hold for very long periods of time, then the technicians don't have access to my account history to verify my story.  I have chat transcripts of the conversations about the plan, but they're unable to accept the transcript files from me.  I think it's very convenient that the Comcast techs will say anything online or on the phone and claim to have transcripts or recordings of these communications, however, whenever I ask for something in my favor, the evidence mysteriously disappears.

    Shafting the customer is in their business plan.  They hope that you will get so frustrated that you will just give in.  Better to just do what millions around the country are doing....cut the cord and go with just internet service only.  50Mbps is all you need to stream HD content and buy your own modem which will pay for itself in 9 months vs. Comcast's ridiculous rental fees.  $10/month for Hulu and about the same for Netflix.  You still get most of the content you're looking for without all the fees and headaches.  Good luck!

  • Are you serious???Really??? $9 charge for $1 surprise increase in bill that was paid days later???

    ATT has had for a long time ongoing "bill creep".  Now I get a $9 charge for a $1 surprise increase on monthly fee that I paid as soon as I discovered it!!!!  I had automatic payments set up on my bank account for the originally agreed upon monthly charges. This is just so wrong.  I will not waste an hour of my life (normal phone time whenever I have had to call ATT about anything in the past--also true of all my friends).  I will try my best to find another provider that will honor its original agreement about monthly charges and not charge outrageous fees for setting up its customers.   I left the home phone service a while back for "bill creep" (and am saving almost 90% on my bill) after being a customer for decades, so now I will leave Uverse for the same rotten reason as soon as I can find another provider. I truly HATE this company. Pat 

      So, you don't bother to check the monthly bill before the automatic payment is deducted? I seem to get an email each month listing the $ amt and when it is going to be charged to my CC.
    Have to say it is on you for not doing that, not ATT for increasing your bill $1.  Generally bills increase in the Feb billing, not any other month.

  • OVER CHARGED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS

    I have been over charged for months, I have been calling an speaking to several different people in billing an customer soluations, cant seem to get an answer from anyone.. They always seem to say there will be a discounted applied but never seems to happen. I think these people who are answering the phones just say what they want an never fix the problem.. I have asked for past 60 days to have a manger or superviser call me back an cant even get that, COMCAST HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE<<<< I AM VERY SORRY TO SAY HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM 

    When the regular customer service reps fail, try one of these:Send an email to the team at "[email protected]". Include:
        Account number
        Full name
        Service address
        Best contact phone number and best time to call
        A description of the problem
    One of their problem resolution specialists should contact you to follow up, usually by phone. They seem to be quite a bit sharper than the regular customer service reps.-OR-Use the feedback form at http://customer.xfinity.com/help-and-support/vp-contact-form.You might also try Twitter (https://twitter.com/ComcastCares/) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Xfinity).
    Comcast sometimes responds to questions here in the forums, and sometimes they do not. When they do the typical response time is somewhere between a few hours and a few days.

  • Were you hit with outrageous overage charges a few months into your contract with no alerts?

    I think Verizon is holding alerts to try to up-sell clients to a more expensive data plan when they call about overage charges. Gathering info for FCC complaint. Please post your experience.  We were hit with $180 overage charge without receiving a single alert that we were near (or over) our data limit even though we had signed up for alerts.  Everyone I talked to at Verizon tried to sell me a bigger (more expensive) data plan instead of addressing the issue of their failure to alert.  If you've had this issue, report it to the FCC and you'll get a response.  I think there may be a play for a class action here.

  • We paid the annual premium and are still being charged for the monthly.

    We started with Adobe by paying $14.99 monthly. Last August, we decided to go with the annual to save money, Since that time, we have continued to be charged monthly since August - December 14.99 monthly, in error. How can I get refunded the overcharge $59.96 and stop this charge?

    Sara, thank you for your response. I was in touch with customer care before they contacted you to contact me. They said they could not help completely but that you should be able to. I need to cancel the $14.99 monthly charge and be refunded the $14.99 charges since I paid the annual fee. The $14.99 is a duplicate charge as I only have one form. Please advise as to how I can stop the monthly charges and receive a refund for the duplicate charges. My phone number is 931.372.7200 if you would like to speak in person.  This is the transcript:

  • Charge for BT Broadband not on Bill?

    I live with my folks at the moment.  The BT bill is in my dad's name, but I have always paid for the broadband connection.  I was with UKOnline until BSkyB shafted them.
    A week or so before the 30th November 2010 I went to BT's website and signed up on line for BT Unlimited broadband in my name, (but using our house's BT account number).  I echatted with a BT support person that said this was okay as long as I had the bill payers permission.
    On the 30th November the switch happened and we have been on BT broadband to date.
    Initial emails stated I would pay 24.99GBP (for the broadband) plus 4.99GBP for postage for the BT Home HUB.
    My father pays the BT bill by Direct Debt monthly, but he told me tonight that his Direct Debt is still the same as before and the broadband has not appeared on the bill.
    Can I just check that the money is taken monthly?  Or is it at some other period?
    Thanks.
    Chris.

    That does seem to be the case, but its still weird!
    The DD has gone up from 17GBP odd a month to 65GBP odd a month.  The bill states the broadband is paid up till March 2011!  Not sure how a 50 quid a month increase covers a 24.99 bill?
    I suspect though, like most companies that use DD, they have seen an opportunity to have our money in their bank account rather than in ours, and have seized it with both hands!
    Chris.

  • Need to cancel my free 1 month membership CC trial before I get charged for 6 months contract period.

    Not getting any option on my account to do this. Not getting any manage payments or credit card info either. Neither generally or on Manage Your Plan option. Adobe official help for this particular problem mentions to goto Customer Support. That option only gives one further option which pointed me to the forums.
    I have decided that though its more expensive on a per month basis a one month membership on a "pay for that month when you need it" suits me more. But seeing how effortless it is is to manage payment information or remove credit card information on Amazon and Apple and how tough/ impossible it is here, I'm seriously reconsidering that too. This is the only large user base company in my decades of interaction with online commerce that makes me follow this torturous path to edit/ remove credit card details and manage payments. I'm genuinely astonished at the UX decision behind this surely oft used process.

    Im absolutely signed in under my ID. Im on an updated Safari on OS X Yosemite.
    I'm beginning to think maybe my free trial will expire and they'll ask if I want to upgrade as opposed to upgrading automatically. That's the only explanation assuming as a marketing company UX is something they understand.
    But the whole taking credit card info doesn't make sense then. Anyways will they entertain me if I call their customer service?

  • Gross incompetence for six months of continued billing errors

    I would like someone to fix the six months of continuous internet billing problems. I am seriously tired of calling every single month to fix my bill. Every single time I call, my bill is adjusted to the correct amount. The following month, more late fees with the corrected amount BACK ON THE BILL! This the absolute worst billing department I have ever encountered in my entire life. Each month I am assured that the bill was adjusted and it would not occur on the following bill. Well, it does. This vast ineptitude is horrible. The last time I had internet problems it cost me over a hundred dollars of tech time on my telephone minutes overage with no results except the purchase of a router which was then credited to my bill because it wasn't the problem. I had to post my problem on the forum to get it fixed. The resulting credit on my bill from the unnecessary router was the beginning of the neverending billing problems. I am guessing that AT&T wants me to get fed up with calling to get my bill fixed and just pay it. I wonder how much money you people make this way? If you guys weren't the only game in town, I'd have found new service a long time ago. Can SOMEONE fix the billing issue once and for all?!
