Requesting actual assistance from Verizon - How can I cancel my service with no fee?

"I have been wrongly charged for data fees and after approximately 15 hours dealing with the situation it still has not been resolved. Back in January when I first realized I was receiving these additional charges I went online to chat with a representative (while at work) and after discussing the situation she told me that it was resolved and that once my bill cycled the fees would be credited to my account. She upgraded my data to 6GB saying that would be enough to cover it and that’s all I would pay for. I waited for the bill to cycle before I paid knowing it would be late (I didn’t care, I wanted to see that it was fixed first which it wasn’t). 
I spoke to Matthew at the beginning of March for a lengthy two hours (also while at work) regarding the situation. He told me that the online chat service was a different department but he’d try to fix my problem. He was extremely nice and did seem like he genuinely wanted to help. And at first I thought that after 2 hours he finally resolved my ongoing issue. At first he kept telling me that the fees were correct. After insisting that I didn’t use 7 GB of data in 5 days I grabbed my calculator and added up all the data charges (yes, each one is 6 decimal places) and the total came to be just above 1 GB (I think it was 1.12GB or so).  He told me that the woman I spoke to over the chat service made a mistake. She said that increasing my data to 6GB would solve the problem but that day that I spoke to her my data was already at approximately 10GB. So by her increasing my data, she accomplished absolutely nothing. After speaking with his manager Matthew said he could refund 45$ and 105$ totaling 150$ total. I would eat the increase in data to 12GB which I said was fair enough. He said I would see the 45$ credited back the same day and that he would text me to let me know it was there (which he never did) and that his manager had to approve the $105 and I would see it on my account within 2 business days. That credit was never applied to my account.
So Friday March 21 I get a phone call that morning saying my phone will be shut off once again. I called back (while at work, AGAIN) and spoke with Angelica. She told me that there was no credit of 105$ on my account nor were there any notes saying there should be. I was then passed to Dale Hull, her supervisor. I went through the whole situation, yet again, and Dale sent an email to Matthew, his supervisor and his boss asking them to looking into the situation and contact me. At the time all three were at work according to Dale. That was at 6pm Eastern time Friday. Then Saturday morning I called Dale at 10:30AM Eastern time to follow up. We had a short conversation where he told me that they would be arriving to work at 12noon Eastern time and he forwarded them my email again with an additional note to say it was an urgent situation. Dale told me he would be at work until 6pm eastern time and that I could follow up with him if I still hadn’t heard back. I called at 5:30PM Eastern time and his direct number routed me to an automated system and I wasn’t even given the option to leave him a voicemail. I then drafted an email to him and tried sending it but apparently I am unable to send him an email. I was a little confused why he would give me my email if he’s unable to receive one from someone outside the Verizon network. But overall Dale seemed to be helpful.
It is now Sunday March 23 and the situation is still unresolved. I would like the fees credited back to my account and my service ended – without being assessed a cancellation fee. My time is valuable and all the time spent talking to Verizon while I was supposed to be doing my job prevented me from making money as a commissionable employee. Not only that but it reflects poorly on me to my superiors."
This is the summary I had typed up regarding my experience in March 23. After than I spoke with a supervisor named Penny in Little Rock who switched my plan to 60$ unlimited talk and text with 2 GB of data and 1 GB promo data. She said it should be less than $80 after fees and insurance and that my employer discount wouldn't apply. She said she would back date it for my current billing cycle which started on the 18th. Said she would be calling me Monday April 21 from a 501 number to follow up.
Now, the bill wasn't back dated, it didn't go into affect until my following bill that is due May 13. And she never called to follow up with me. On top of that I just realized that when she "fixed" my plan she removed my insurance. So when I dropped my phone and shattered the screen this morning after all the hours and frustration and stress I have spent dealing with Verizon, I now don't have insurance to cover the broken phone.
I have never ever experienced such horrible customer service in my entire life.
All I want is to be released from my contract without being charged a $250 fee. I feel that after all the time, tears and money spent on this situation it's the least that Verizon can do for me.
I look forward to a prompt response.

    Hello rjutze,
Unexpected charges are certainly shocking, so I definitely understand where you're coming from. I'm sorry to learn you had this type of experience with your data allowance. We want to ensure our customers are billed correctly for usage and certainly clarify all concerns regarding the charges. We offer courtesy alerts to advise you of the potential overages and allow time to prevent them. Did you receive them? I'm unable to speak to the credits promised; as you mentioned earlier, we stated they are correct.  
Nonetheless, I understand you need further clarification to get to the bottom of this. Please send me a DM so I can provide you with the details of the steps taken to address this when you contacted us, We truly don't want to lose you as a customer, especially since the termination fee will not be waived. However, I am confident I will get to the bottom of this and turn this around.

    The only way to unlock a locked device is through the carrier. If it is locked to AT&T, you will have to contact them to get it unlocked.

  • How can I cancel my contract with Verizon without any fees because Verizon has failed to provide me with a workable phone for over 2 months despite many hours talking to tech support and several replacement phones, batteries, power cord, and sim card etc

    How can I contact a representative of Verizon to help me cancel my contract so I can switch carriers to get a phone that is reliable and a Co. that supports its products?  Verizon seems to have many blocking scripts or dead ends when trying tio contact someone  who can help the customer. How can I get around the blocks and get to someone who can directly answer my questions? I have one of those "hot" phones that were recently seen on the news, yet no one seems to be able to help me resolve the issue. I have no idea where this comment goes, or who reads it?

    The phone is your responsibility, if it's before the 1 year warranty you can get defects fixed by the Manufacturer  of the phone. If you want to leave pay your termination fee, or find a carrier who claims they will do it but don't really expect it to happen either.

  • How can I cancel the service?

    My contract end date is 10 January, 2014 and I wanna cancel the service as soon as possible. Right before coming to my country, I tried to cancel the service because but I did not have SSN and I did not know the account password. There was a possibility that the cell phone provider decided that password because he came to our college and sold a lot of phones to us (international students). Anyway, I am in Korea now not in the U.S. and wanna cancel the service right away. plz, help me out!

    iMac model?
    Mac OS version?
    Both can be viewed fby doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar. The OS version will be pretty obvious; posting what the window says about your processor will help us figure out what model.
    I ask becasue about 60 percent of the posts here are about newer models than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum serves.
    Not your fault if you found the wrong forum--Apple's labeling is as clear as mud!

    If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

    Since you haven't yet taken delivery of the iPhones I'm not sure how Apple will handle it.

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
