Refund my $90 early contract cancellation fee... I do not remember agreeing to it!

I was told that I agreed to a $90 early termination fee when I was re-negotiating my lost discounts on February 4th.  I'm old.  I do not remember that, nor would I have agreed to it...I would have switched to Cox.  This is a case where you say I agreed and I'm not going to dispute it... don't bore me with restating that.  I don't remember it and I'm the customer...remember?  After 1 1/2 hour of my life, that I won't get back, on the phone trying to credit that amount back to my account, and refusing at all levels, they hung up on me.  I think Verizon is the worst vendor my wife and I have to deal with.  Deception and bait and switch is your business model.  All we want is for them to match another provider in our area, give us a 10 year contract, and leave us alone.  I can't even look at the company logo without getting sick.  For now, we just want that $90 credited to our account and I'll deal with you again next year.  If you don't do it, we'll spend whatever life energy we have left going viral with your deception of these two old AARP members.  Hell, we may not live 10 more years.  Are you listening and hearing us???????????

Couple of comments:
1) This is mainly a user supported board.
2) No provider will give a 10 year contract.
3) Just about every provider is going to have an early cancellation fee in exchange for a contract. It happens for TV, cell phone even alternate electrical or natural gas contracts.
4) You should have received info on Terms and Conditions when you signed up again. No one ever reads them yet they complain when they don't like them.
5) I thought you typically get 30 days to cancel a contract from Verizon. Not sure how long it has been for you.

  • Early Contract Cancellation

    With the iPhone 4S to be released shortly, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Verizon, and AT&T, but I'm on Verizon, so... cancelling contracts early, as AT7T did when the iPhone 4 was released.
    Anyone know anything?

    You want to switch from Verizon to ATT?
    If so, contact Verizon about what your early contract termination fee would be. You can ask this without cancelling your contract, which you would not want to do until getting signed up with ATT. If you do this before getting signed up with ATT, you won't be able to port your number from Verizon to ATT. Signing up with ATT will cancel your Verizon contract - ATT will take care of porting your number from Verizon to ATT. Verizon will send you a final bill including your early contract termination fee.

  • Change from BB to Android data plan - contract cancellation fee?

    Just wondering if anyone has experience with the following:
    I have a Blackberry (with data plan) that expires in July 2011 but want to upgrade to an Android LTE phone (I am eligible for NE2).  Since I will have to technically change plans from a BB data plan to a regular/LTE data plan, does that constitute an early termination of my contract and therefore be liable for early termination fees?  Sounds silly since I'm renewing for exactly the same thing but when I try to buy the phone and change plans online it seems to indicate that I'll have to pay this termination fee.
    Thanks!

    If you are just upgrading your BB to an Android(i.e. the Android phone being activated on the same phone # that the BB is currently on), then no, there will not be any EFT. You will have to sign a new 2yr contract to get the discounted pricing from Verizon and will be subject to an ETF if you cancel your line before your new 2yr contract is up.

  • Early contract cancellation charges can anyone tel...

    I am moving abroad and need to cancel some of my BT contract. The 12 month contract for unlimited Infinity 1 £10/month and line rental with evening weekend calls started 22nd December. I will need to end contract around 1st September. I paid 12 months line rental up front for I think £159.84. I understand that I will owe a reduced monthly charge for line rental for the remainder of the 12 months and be due to pay something for the remainder of the Infinity1 plus a cessation charge of £30. Will any credit be given for the up front line rental payment and what will the other cancellation charges be?

    Here are the cancellation charges.

  • Total Cancellation Fee?

    Does anybody know if there are any additional fees besides the $175 that AT&T charges? I heard that there was a "phone fee" of around $200 on top of the initial $175. Does anybody have the facts? Thanks!

    Sorry if I don't fully understand this, but what would this theoretically add up to? I understand the $175 early contract termination fee, but not the rest of them. I know you have to pay an activation fee and pay for the first month of usage, but what exactly is the "prorated fee" and how much is it? All in all, what would the total figure be, approximately?

    You must wait 30 days after the purchase date and will be charged a $175 early contract termination fee along with being charged for your chosen calling plan, the data plan, and messaging plan and any overages over your chosen calling and messaging plan for the first month, plus a prorated fee for the following month depending on when the iPhone is returned past the initial 30 days after the purchase date. You also owe the iPhone activation fee included with your bill. I'm not aware of any additional "iPhone fee" charged by AT&T for canceling the contract after the first 30 days.

  • Contract Cancellation Time Frame

    Our Contract ends October 9th.  If we plan to switch providers, how soon can we do so without receiving a contract cancelation fee?

  • Can I get the refund on that first month after paying the $80 cancellation fee ?

    I recently canceled my subscription after paying for one month.
    Can I get the refund on that first month after paying the $80 cancellation fee ?

    From this document< " Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud"
    If you cancel within the first month, you receive a full refund. Otherwise, you are billed 50% of your remaining contract obligation.
    From what i understand, you cannot get  your refund for the previous month.
    Thanks,
    Preran

  • Cancellation fee when moving out, (after contract ...

    Hi, I am moving abroad soon. I would like to know what charges I will have to pay. My 18 month contract with BT infinity will be over before I leave. I understand that I will lose the line rental as I have already paid for a full year. But should I be paying a cancellation fee? I am not cancelling I am moving abroad.

    It is in their Terms and Conditions that they will charge a £30 cease charge.
    A cease charge of £30.00 (not subject to VAT) is payable if you cease your broadband service and do not request and use a migration access code or another recognised transfer process to move to another service provider.
    It does go onto to say:
    This charge is not raised if you are moving home and BT is unable to provide the service at the new address. For more information please visit www.bt.com/ceasecharge
    And also this part:
    When won't the charge be raised?
    This charge will not be raised should you :-
    Move home and you re-connect to BT Total Broadband via the homemover process.
    Move home and we are unable to provide the service at your new UK address.
    You are ceasing service due to bereavement or severe illness.

  • Early cancellation fee

    I have a family plan package with 3 phones. We moved to a new neighborhood 9 miles away and now I have very limited service inside my one story home. I spoke with the verizon tech rep and tried of few things, but none worked. Why am paying almost $200/month for little to no service? My work requires me to be on call several days out of the month. I cannot afford to have missed calls. The verizon rep told me that I could pay $250 for a signal booster, but refuse to pay extra for something that should be standard. They offered to discount it a few dollars, but I told them I am not willing to pay anymore for this service. I have been an excellent customer with verizon 15+ years. This is how verizon is taking care of me.  I have starting to research other companies and was wondering if verizon charges each phone a cancellation fee or a package cancellation fee?

    Each line is charged an ETF since each line has its own contract.  If you last purchased a smartphone when signing a new two-year contract, the ETF is $350 minus $10 for each full month of the contract term you've completed (it's $175 minus $5 if you last purchased a basic phone).

  • Early cancellation fee & procedure

    I want to cancel my contract with Eircom before termination date. - what is cancellation fee in my case and why this fee is so high- what's official procedure, how should I make cancellation request (via email/phone/post)- if I will cancel today, what total costs will I have (I prefer to cancel, pay everything at once and forget about Eircom) BJ

    Hi BJ,
    You would be charged your monthly commitment times the remaining months on your contract. When you enter a contract you are agreeing to a set fee for a certain period of time therefore you would be required to pay this in full. You would need to contact 1901 and request to cancel over the phone. Our cancellations team will be able to advise you exactly how much this will cost and provide any further info you need on this.
    Thanks,
    Sarah

  • Cancellation fee? *edit, contract ends Feb. 2013*

    I understand that there is a fee to cancel before a contract is over, but we have been unable to get any decent assistance for our phone issues..
    We upgraded to an LG Ally in February of 2010 ** sorry, it was 2011.. contract ends Feb. 2013** with a 24-month contract.  What would our cancellation fee be right now? 
    We've had numerous issues with our phoneSSS.  Verizon has replace it with the same model  3 or 4 times (we honestly lost count!!), and they refuse to replace it with a different model unless we pay an extra $100 or more.  So much for having the extended warranty.
    The CSRs continue to claim that they've "never heard of any issues with this phone" or that "that is a great phone" etc. etc. when there are many forums and reviews about how bad it actually is.. One even had the gall to say that we must have gotten lemons all 3 or 4 times. 
    We are fed up and just want to get away from Verizon.  There are days that the phone doesn't work at all and we are not getting our money's worth by keeping it.  The list of issues with this phone is LONG. 

    Sorry.. after I posted I realized my typo.. thanks for replying though. 

  • Service cancellation fee

    I need to cancel our service. We have 4 lines, all being smartphones. How do I do it? I'm SURE Verizon charges a cancellation fee, ha!

    If you cancel in the middle of your billing cycle...Verizon will give you some mumbo jumbo that the "port"  didn't complete until the day before your next billing cycle.  How convenient!!!  I cancelled 3 weeks before my billing cycle and paid their early termination fee.  I didn't have a problem paying that but I do have a problem paying them until the end of the cycle when I can't use the phone.  They got an extra $75.  So don't cancel in the middle of your cycle but then if you do, they will probably give you some **** about the "port" didn't finish until the next billing cycle.  I guess either way your are screwed!!!  Glad I am not a Verizon customer.  BTW, I was transferred three times to learn that I wasn't getting my $75. bucks back.  Good Luck!!!
    Actually, paying for the full final month of service isn't "mumbo jumbo," it is part of the terms and conditions of the customer agreement:
    WHAT HAPPENS IF MY POSTPAY SERVICE IS CANCELED BEFORE THE END OF MY CONTRACT TERM?
    If you're signing up for Postpay Service, you're agreeing to subscribe to a line of Service either on a month–to–month basis or for a minimum contract term, as shown on your receipt or order confirmation.  (If your Service is suspended without billing, that time doesn't count toward completing your contract term.) Once you've completed your contract term, you'll automatically become a customer on a month–to–month basis for that line of Service. If you cancel a line of Service, or if we cancel it for good cause, during its contract term, you'll have to pay an early termination fee.  If your contract term results from your purchase of an advanced device, your early termination fee will be $350 minus $10 for each full month of your contract term that you complete.  Otherwise, your early termination fee will be $175 minus $5 for each full month of your contract term that you complete.  Cancellations will become effective on the last day of that month's billing cycle, and you are responsible for all charges incurred until then.  Also, if you bought your wireless device from an authorized agent or third–party vendor, you should check whether they charge a separate termination fee.
    It has nothing to do with the port.  When you agree to the contract, you agree to pay for that final month. Most carriers do this.  I had U.S. Cellular for a couple of years, and they had the same policy.  I don't know about AT&T or T-Mobile, but I am fairly certain Sprint has the same terms as well.  Knowing the terms of the  contract you agreed to saves time, hassle, and frustration.  Also you don't have to pay two companies for a one month of service. 

  • When I am due to upgrade and decide to go with a different carrier, since i am the account holder what happens to the 4 people on my plan with me? do they have to pay cancellation fee?

    when i am due to upgrade and i decide to go with a different carrier, since i am account holder what happens to other people on my plan, due they have to pay cancellation fee?

    Just your line that is ported gets the Early Termination Fee if you are still in contract.
    If you keep the other lines active you are still responsible for them.
    Good Luck

  • Misled by Salesman - FIOS cancellation fee

    Sad to see posts like mine all over the internet. Even more sad that I didn't see them before I switched to Verizon. This past April I switched from Comcast to Verizon FIOS. At the time I was apprehensive about signing a 2 year contract, knowing that I likely wouldn't be in the same are for that long. I was assured by both the home salesman and customer service that, if I moved to an area they didn't service, I wouldn't be charged an early cancellation fee. Now I am moving, and the only thing Verizon offers in the area is home phone service. Since I am moving into a parsonage, the phone line is already provided from the church, so I have no need for another home phone line. Talked to Dave in customer service today, and he informed me that I am facing a $125 early cancellation fee, since they do "technically" still offer service in that area, even though I made it clear when I signed up that I had no interest in any services other than internet. So my choices are either to pay a $125 early cancellation fee or $20/month + setup fees for a home phone that I don't need. Terrible customer service Verizon...
