Reprehensible Practice - Returns of Equipment and Discontinuance of Quantam Enhanced Service

About two months ago, I modified my TV service to just local tv and canceled my quantum enhanced service.  Despite sending in my equipment (five set top boxes) in the prepaid box provided by UPS on November 6 and verifying it was received through ups tracking the following day, I received an email on November 21 that indicated 2 of the boxes were received.  I have not received any subsequent emails indicating that the three additional boxes were received, despite being packaged in the same box as the other two and done in the instructed way with serial numbers up.  
Since the 21st, I have called Verizon 3 times and keep being told the same nonsense - wait until the next bill.  Well i waited, and this bill reflrects my account as having both the Quantum Enhanced at 22$ (despite specifically canceling two months ago, and reaffirming the cancellation of the service on my two prior calls) and 3 set top boxes for $38.  
In my call today, December 9, I received ridiculous information from a rep whose training is apparently based upon talking around people.  He thought himself a hero by crediting me 22$ on my current bill for the enhanced service, although that's what i've requested for two months, and I'm owed the 22$ on my prior two bills anyway.
As to the equipment, I was told things along the line of "there's no telling why it's only two, maybe the person didn't get around to it," as well as the expression of surprise that the UPS worker didn't physically open the package and individually scan each verizon box serial code, which seems bizarre and highly unlikely to be the protocol employed.  I was also told that, despite the two week lag in Verizon receiving the box and the apparent check in of the equipment, I would only be creditied as of when someone at Verizon got around to scanning and restocking the box.  So if that took two months (which it apparently did) then i'm paying for the boxes that are sitting on a floor at a Verizon warehouse.  I'm shocked that this would be the case.  
I was told that my account currently reflects that all of my equipment has been returned, but I've been told that on prior calls, and it's yet to be reflected in a bill.  Verizon seemingly has made a business decision that it's unlikely people like me wil sue them for the 120$ overcharges, and simply rips off its customers with regularity.
With all this complaining, I am still in need of the situation being remedied, and nobody at Verizon seems equipped to (1) process my cancellation of services as of the day they were canceled via phone and (2) credit me with the return of the equipment as of the date Verizon received it.  This seems so basic to me, it's shocking that I have to write a long winded complaint.   

So, unbelievably, after crediting my account properly for the canceled service on my past bill, AGAIN, on this bill, a charge for 3 equipment rentals (returned in November) and Quantum Enhanced Service -  45$ worth of charges - are BACK on my bill!  It is absolutely absurd how poor Verizon's customer service is, not to mention how brazenly this company, seems to steal from its customers.  It's an amazing scam, they force you to inefficiently return set top boxes by mail as opposed to allowing you to return them at a store where you can be given assurance that all boxes are checked into the system, and then claim that they did not receive the packages.  I'm blown away by how terrible this company is.  
PERMANENTLY REMOVE THE CHARGES FROM MY BILL AND CREDIT ME THE FRAUDULENT AMOUNT CHARGED.

  • How do you cancel Auto Pay. I have returned all equipment and cancelled my service

    Looked all over the comcast site to find a way to cancel auto pay and could not find it?  Need to delete my credit card information.

    Hi KG1two -
    To cancel automatic payments:
    Select the Manage automatic payments button on the Overview page. (You can also click the Set up automatic payments link on the Billing & Payments page.)
    Click Stop my automatic payment, then click Yes, stop automatic payments when the confirmation message appears.
    To finish, click I'm done. Or click Set up automatic payments again if you selected this option in error.
     

  • Report Script returns no data and "java.io.FileNotFoundException" error

    When attempting to write to a new file (Eg: C:\TEST.txt), Report Script returns no data and "java.io.FileNotFoundException" error occurs.
    This error occurs only in Essbase 9.3.1.3 release, however it works fine in release 9.3.1.0.
    After running the report the script, it pops up the follwing message:
    "java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\temp\eas17109.tmp (The system cannot find the file specified): C:\TEST.txt"
    When checked the TEST.txt, it was empty.

    Sorry folks, I just found out the reason. Its because there was no data in the combination what I was extracting.
    but is this the right error message for that? It should have atleast create a blank file right?

  • I Returned my Cellphone and Verizon Lost it

    Hi, this happened to me to and is an ongoing issues. Verizon is threatening to deactivate my 6 accounts. I need assistance from here by verizon to fix this issue.   Below see what i have been dealing with.
    1/14/13: I called Verizon & spk w/ Customer Servc as all phone lines were disconnected.  Female rep stated lines disconnected due to non-payment of $599.99 for a Rezound that was not returned to Verizon.  Rep researched & found that phone was indeed returned to Fort Worth, TX & in Verizon’s possession.  Due to their error, I was charged for 6 activation fees & was only given a discount for 3 of the 6 fees.  I don’t believe this is fair. Rep advised that she submitted a Direct Fulfillment Refund Request which would be processed in 24-48 hrs & promised the $599.99 would not be counted against my account & set aside until direct fulfillment has been resolved & credited back to acct.  After spending 2 hrs on the phone for resolution due to Verizon’s negligence, it was known by of call that all proof was provided to Verizon & was evident we returned the phone to them.
    1/26/13: I found the $599.99 charge on my Verizon bill.  I called Verizon & Rita stated that my account was going be interrupted again due to with the same issue. I spent over an houyr with the Finance Dept & Rita explaining my problem all over again.  During the call, Rita stated that on 1/21/13, the warehouse confirmed the phone was returned.  I also received email confirmation from Rita which stated the following:
    Dear {Customer}, It was great talking with you. This email will guide you through the items we discussed.  Thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless.
    Credit Confirmation
    This is a confirmation that your credit has been applied. Your new account balance can be obtained by: Dial #BAL & SEND 24 hours after receiving this email
    During the same conversation, I asked Rita to transfer me to a manager but she said no manager was available. I said I would wait on hold until a manager was able to assist. Half an hour went by & Rita could not fulfill my request, so she asked if I would accept a call back from a manager on 1/28/13.  I reluctantly agreed since I received a credit confirmation from Verizon.   However, I regret agreeing to these terms since Verizon again disconnected my accounts because I missed many business teleconferences due to this. 
    Monday 1/28/13 came & went.  I never received a call back from a Verizon manager as Rita promised.  I was left without an explanation of the $599.99 charge, multiple account disconnections, unjust activation fees, unexplained disappearance of the defective phone & update on the Direct Fulfillment Refund Request.
    2/11/2013: All six of my account were deactivated once again by Verizon. I called Verizon for an explanation but was automatically transferred to Finance Dept.  Melanie advised me that I was transferred due to the non-payment of $599.99.  I stated that the issue was previously resolved because received a credit confirmation from Rita.  Melanie advised me there were no records of such confirmation.  I asked to speak to a manager since I had been going around & around in circles with customer service regarding this issue.  I was transferred to Customer Service Manager Tasha. I again explained my ordeal with the defective phone return & account deactivations related to phone number (626) ###-####.  Tasha said that warehouse had not found the phone.  I then stated to Tasha that this information was incorrect & to refer back to my call on 1/14/13.   She insisted that I provide her the tracking number & advised her that the tracking number was in the system since I received confirmation of this tracking number on 1/14/13.  I do not understand why they say the phone was in their system & take it back saying there is no tracking number nor any phone showing in their system when I received a text message from Verizon Wireless on 8/30/2012 at 900080004004 to phone number (626) ###-#### stating “VZW FREE MSG: Thank you! The defective device you recently returned has been received by Verizon Wireless.”  During my conversation with Tasha, she stated she would activate all 6 accounts & follow up with me by 2/21/13 regarding this incident after Verizon internally investigates the missing defective phone. She confirmed twice that all 6 accounts were being activated & that the $599.99 charge would not be held against my account & stated that she would have another representative submit another Direct Fulfillment Refund Request. I waited on the phone until Tasha confirmed that the request was submitted.
    2/12/2013: I found out that Tasha did not keep her word & reactivate all 6 phone lines.   2 of the 6 lines are currently not functioning as promised by Tasha.  She lied to me & gave me false hope that my accounts were going to remain in functioning status.  Due to this unjust & unreasonable reoccurring issue, I had to call Verizon Customer Service again & waste multiple hours on the phone.  I was automatically transferred to the Finance Dept to make a payment for $599.99 for the defective phone in which Verizon stated they received on 8/30/2012 & was confirmed on 1/14/13 & 1/26/13 that the warehouse received the phone & therefore the $599.99 would not be held against my account.  All this information was previously sent to me from Verizon via Text message 1/14/13. I explained this to not only one but six different representatives in which I spent over 2 hours on the phone during my work hours risking my job because Verizon keeps on making mistakes with my account. Listed are the names of the representatives that I spoke to on 2/12/13 regarding this ongoing issue:  Kevin, Joshua, Scott (Floor Financial Rep), Koni (Customer Care), Josh & Angelina (Floor Supervisor), Josh & Sharae (Irvine Call Center).  I waited a long time to get to Floor Supervisor Angelina because I was not being treated like a loyal & honest customer that I am. I returned the defective phone to them & I have all the proof that I did & still Verizon has treated me like a thief. I was then transferred to Sharae who filled out yet another Direct Fulfillment Refund Request for the warehouse. She explained that she did everything she could & stated that the Finance Dept at Verizon will not activate my other two accounts & that I would have to wait upto 72 hours for the warehouse to get back to her.  She promised a call back with an update who would then call me for an update.
    2/13/2013: I have 2 accounts suspended. No matter what proof I provide as evidence that I sent back the defective phone, Verizon will not comply with me.  The Customer Service representatives have even said they had received the phone & promised to apply the credit to my account. 
    This is very frustrating!!! I have provided hard facts & proof to show that I did my part & returned the phone but they keep disconnecting my lines & they said they have not received the defective phone at the Fort Worth, TX warehouse.  Verizon is demanding me to pay $599.99 for their deficiencies.  I am not at fault.  I have texts, email & tracking proof plus all my conversations are noted in their system that the defective phone was returned.
    I Returned the phone and show all the proofs and Verizon has all the records on file, I should not be paying for mistakes that Version wireless warehouse commits and I need this phone charge of $599.99 taken off my account and credit back to my account for all this loss time that I have spent on the phone with them & all the frustration that this has caused me & having lines deactivated & not all lines working. This is not the way to treat a loyal customer that has been with Verizon for almost 2 years. I have been treated with no respect & demand that I be free of any charges for the phone I returned and for all 6 phone lines for the month of February 2013.

    Defince "everything."  Did you backup your phone before updating?

  • SQL Query returns values like "---" and "NA"

    Hi
              When I execute a sql query in MII it returns values like "---" and "NA" for empty Char and numeric fields respectively.
    I have checked the database and made sure that these fields does not have any value. This happens only when I run the query through MII. Can any one know how can we get rid of these values?
    Thanks in advance
    Shaji

    Shaji,
    MII sets those values as a default if it discovers null values in a query result. You can change this default behaviour in several ways.
    First, have a look at the document [Setting custom null values in XML|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70628af0-8ec4-2c10-7da2-f451e412dd8f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]. Then you may also use SQL functions like [NVL|http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/nvl.php] to change the value directly in the SQL query. You can also change the value inside the MII BLT to whatever you need.

  • I returned my iphone and they gave me a new one...

    I returned my iphone and they gave me a new one and they activated it at the iphone store. when i got home and tried to sync my contacts, they were gone. there are a few contacts that it imported but only about 25% of my original list. I think the contacts that it is syncing is from the mac address book. I have had problems with this phone and recently re-installed the sim card and had to restore my contacts and it worked fine. but this time when i plug the iphone in to itunes, it doesnt recognized the phone with "my name" on it. it just says iphone under the devices tab. where are my contacts? are they stored somewhere else on the mac where i can retrieve them?
    Please help!
    thanks

    coachhomer,
    With the iPhone, contacts are not stored on the SIM card, but stored on the device itself. Typically, you want to backup your iPhone contacts with a program on your computer (like Address Book or Outlook) so you have those contacts in case you need to restore your iPhone or get it replaced. When you sync your iPhone with your computer, iTunes will make a backup of your information, but future syncs replaces your backup.
    You can look and see if your old backup remains by going into the iTunes preferences and clicking on the syncing tab. It will give you the name of the iPhone backed up and the last date it backed up the information. If you synced your iPhone before you took it in to be replaced, your contact information may still be included in that backup. You can restore your phone in iTunes and choose the backup you want to re-sync to the iPhone.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • Best Practice for vDS, Uplinks and TF ?

    Hi,
    Three questions about vNetwork Distributed Switch:
    My environment:
    - Datacenters: 2
    - Hosts: 50 (25 in each datacenter)
    - Cluster: 10 (5 in each datacenter) (2 to 5 nodes per cluster)
    - Nics Hosts:
         - 1 nic for management
         - 1 nic for redundant management and VMotion
         - 2, 4 or 8 nics with trunk internal networks (15 VLANs)
         - 2, 4 or 8 nics with trunk to external networks (10 VLANs)
         - 1 nic for backup
         - Over 1500 vms
    Question 1 - Speaking only of internal, external and back up, how I should have vDS?
    - 6 vDS (2 internal, 2 external and 2 backup, half in Datacenter), right?
    Question 2 - I have clusters of different sizes, some clusters have two hosts nic for internal networks while others cluster hosts have 4 or 8 nics nics, so I must have DvUplinks how many in each vDS? What is the impact of having uplinks without nic attached in some clusters?
    - VDs_Internal = 8 uplinks?
    Question 3 - What is good practice to use Teaming and Failover in this case? "Routed originating based on virtual port" or "Routed bases on physical NIC load" knowing that I'm not using Network Control IO?
    thanks,
    Reis

    Q1. With VLAN you can also use a single vDS with several portgroup (and for some, like FT, vMotion, ... use explicit uplink order).
    Q2. This could be a little problem. With vDS you can map uplink to pNIC... but DRS (for example) could not know if your host has less uplinks. If the difference is minimal go with a single cluster, otherwise consider to use 2 clusters.
    Q3. The virtual port solution could be simple and good in most cases.

  • The best practice for creating reports and dashboard

    Hello guys
    I am trying to put together a list of best practice on how to create reports and dashboards using OBIEE presentation service. I know a lot of those dos and donts are just corporate words that don't apply consistantly in real world environment, but still I'd like to know if Oracle has any officially defined best practice or not.
    the only best practice I can think of when it comes to building reports and dashboards is:
    Each subject area should contain only one star schema that holds data for a specific business information
    Is there anything else?
    Please advice
    Thanks

    Read this book to understand what a Dashboard is, what it should do and look like to be used by the end users. Very enlightentning.

  • Return Sales Order - And its Status

    Hello Experts,
    I have a question in the sales returns scenario.
    Step 1: I Create a sales order ( With two items and delivery full ) and perform steps till billing ( invoice ).
    Step 2: I Create Return sales order with reference to the first sales order but i take Only one item to return.
    Now the status of the return sales order is Being Processed.
    Step 3: I create a complete ( deliver full quantity of the item ) return delivery with reference to the return sales order and save the document. Now still the return sales order is in status Being Processed. Ideally i should have been Completed.
    Step 4: I do the Goods receipt for the return delivery. Now also the status of the returns sales order is Being Processed instead of Completed
    Kindly suggest any way to control the status of sales document or is this the ideal way( if so what's the functional purpose behind this ? ).
    Is this because the billing block is still set in the Return sales order ?

    Do you mean that only after credit memo creation or clearing of the credit memo from FI the status of return order is set to completed?
    If this is an ideal scenario, in one of our systems the status of return sales order is set to completed immediately after returns delivery creation.
    This behavior is same as that of normal sales order scenario, where the sales order status is set to completed once the delivery happens.
    Kindly suggest, if there is any customizing to control the oeverall status update for specific sales order types or based on the type of sales scenario.

  • Issue with displaying international characters returned by Search And Promote.

    Hi,
         I am trying to display international characters being returned by Search and Promote. The actual text returned by S&P is televisión, while the one being displayed is televisión
    I am usging r.get() to fetch values returned by S&P. The issue is only with data returned by S&P. Local international texts are being properly displayed.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Sham! Found the fix. I am checking for invalid characters in the byte stream and then applying corresponding encoding.
    This method checks for invalid characters.
    public static boolean isValidUTF8( byte[] input ) {
        CharsetDecoder cs = Charset.forName("UTF-8").newDecoder();
        try {
            cs.decode(ByteBuffer.wrap(input));
            return true;
        catch(CharacterCodingException e){
            return false;
    This statement performs corresponding encoding.
