Terrible experience with Verizon customer care. Need update on security deposit.

Hi,
I disconnected my FIOS internet service about two months back. When I took the connection last year, I was asked to pay a security deposit of $400 and I paid this. After disconnecting FIOS, I am trying to get the status of the refund of my security deposit.
I have called close to ten times to the customer care and all the times, I have been given either false information or I was told they would call me back and that would not happen.
At this point, I am extremely disappointed and surprised about how an organization like Verizon could be so unprofessional.
I need to know the status of my security deposit. Has anyone else faced this kind of a problem? How was this resolved?
Regards,
Sathish

I had a terrible experience with Verizon's buy back program

I had a terrible experience with Verizon's buy back program of old iPhone's when you bought a new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. The general manager did a very poor job of handeling the situation, where can I file a formal review or complaint?

I'm very sad to hear about the less than stellar experience you encountered at one of our store locations! I definitely can make sure your feedback is lifted up. What happened? Which location did you visit?

My ongoing terrible experience with Verizon.

Let me start from the very beginning. On May 24th 2013 I moved from apartment #814 to apartment #1611 in my current building. Being the organized individual that I am I called verizon about 2 to 3 weeks prior to my move to schedule a technician for that day to come transfer my service. Seems simple enough, its not.
On my 23rd, I recieved my first reschedule call from verizon. They informed me that they were having "engineering" issues and that my new date for a technician would be June 15th. Well thats just ridiculous, I planned on calling them tomorrow to get everything sorted out. To my astonishment Verizon called me the next day before I could call them. I assumed they were calling to correct their mistake, however, i was flabergasted to find out that they couldnt install my fios on June 15th but would need to reschedule to June 30th. One thing I forgot to mention, was that in both cases, these were messages left on my answering machine, where mind you, Verizon had the wrong apartment number.
I got home that night and called Verizon. After spending over a half an hour on the phone with the customer service representative, they asked what time it was where lived (ridiculous considering they have my address). After telling them the time I was informed there was nothing they could do as the offices in my area were closed.
Now we get to the first good sign in an otherwise gloomy story. The next day i spoke on the phone to a wonderful woman who promised to help me. After she was locked out of changing my address by the verizon system she decided she would just cancel the order and place a new one. I wasnt super pleased about this as i would now have to sign up for a 2 year contract instead of just continuing with my old one, but I need the service so i agreed. She fixed my address and set me up for a technician to come out to my apartment on June 5th. FInally some good news.
Guess what? on June 4th I receive a call from verizon informing me that they would need to reschedule for June 11th. Ugh again, this is getting to be absurd. Little did i know it was just the beginning.
On June 9th, i got a call from Verizon confirming my appointment for June 11th from 1-5. On June 10th i got a call from Verizon confirming my appointment for June 11th from 1-5. On June 11th i took a half day from work and sat at my appartment starting at 12:30pm.
At around 4:30pm i decided to call Verizon and check the status of the techician. After 20 or so minutes on the phone with the customer service representative I was told that there are notes on my account that someone was supposed to call me that morning to reschedule my appointment for the 24th of June.
Unbelievable, now not only had Verizon reschedule my appointment for the fifth time. But they forgot to call me costing me time that I would otherwise be paid for. So after calmly expressing my frustration I decide to try and work with the customer service representative to figure out what is going on and why i keep getting rescheduled.
We spent about an hour on the phone with her talking to the service people in my area and then relaying the message to me (verizon wont let you talk to the service center directly). The reason they kept giving was "engineering" and they need to install fios in the area.
I have a couple problems with this accessment. Number one, I had fios that worked just fine in my apartment 8 floors down. It worked up to the day they turned it off. Now, why couldnt a technician just turn it back on in a different apartment? I had all of the equipment already. Number 2, if they are working on the system, does everyone in my building lose fios? Do they just have the old version? Frankly, hook me up with that old stuff, i dont care, i just want some internet. Number 3, maybe fios isnt in the whole building? nope, you would be wrong again, it is. All of my neighbors on my floor seem to have great working fios. Why just my apartment.
Anyway, my troubles still continue as I am now scheduled to have a technician come out on June 24th. My one month aniversary without service. Thanks for the wonderful present Verizon. I hope you dont stand me up, again...

Iphone 4 cdma: bad experience with verizon customer service/store

I have been paying around $140 for my shared plan with Verizon. One phone in this line is an iphone4. I am travelling outside the country for the next couple of months and I wanted a solution from Verizon.
1. Online chat: I asked this question to the chat reps and they told me to go to a store.
2. Store: At the store I met a folks who did not understand the technical details of a cdma phone. He asked me if I could unlock it and use it. I explained why it is their responsibility to ensure that such a phone is unlocked. He then deferred to the store manager, who kind of seemed nonchalant about the whole situation said that he cannot do anything to help. When I asked what am I supposed to do with this phone after my contract he said that I could do what ever I want with it, he added that I could trade it in for 40 bucks ( while my friends make a couple ah 100 bucks on ebay after selling an unlocked iphone4). He told me to talk to verizon customer support.
3. Customer support: I dialed in. I asked him a questions about why the company does not offer iphone 4's as a gsm while other service providers do and what value am I getting from paying for a device that I would never use post the contract. He said that verizon was late to provide unlocked phones and they started with the 4s. I spoke to global support about the rental program that they offer for just 20 days. When I asked if they would make this an exception, they said they cant and the system (made by verizon) will track inventory and will not allow rentals over 20days. The final option was buying another phone for retail price.
Overall I wanted to express that I am completely disappointed in the way Verizon treats their customer. They talk about policies and how they cannot bend it to meet a customers requirement. I would have been the happiest person if they gave me a replacement phone and not ask me to buy a new unlocked phone. Why am I paying for a service that does not help me during such situations?
Thank you
A sad customer...

I'm not sure that I understand what your complaint is. Verizon Wireless does not offer GSM iPhones 4 because Verizon Wireless does not operate a GSM network.

My Experience With Nokia Customer Care

Hi Everybody,
I was looking to update my Nokia 6275 phone software, I needed to know "how can i?" after i exhausted every available option such as posts in forum, visited NOkia Web Site, etc finally i contacted Nokia CC two times. Firstly I was told to download updated latest version of PC Suit through which i can update my phone software(firmware). I tried that but it didn't work. Today for the second time i contacted again and upon asking them clearly that if there was any update for my Nokia?? i was put on hold for almost 4 to 5 mins and to my surprise NOkia CC executive told me honestly that they (Nokia CC guys) themselves doesn't know what is current version and they do not know if there was any new update released. How Ridiculous??? I questioned him why is it so? Answer is "Nokia stopped manufacturing this model" with this pathetic situation You will get to hear with iVRS upon connecting -- to take short survey about customer's satisfaction moreover Nokia CC guys will also remind you to take Customer's satifaction survey at the end of the call.
Thanks for taking the time to read

what is your your phone model???

then go to http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update

New Customer - Have had MISERABLE experience with Verizon service and Customer service

I am a brand new customer of Verizon Fios and so far I have zero good things to say about it. If it wasn't for the aggrevation of switching cable companies, I most definitely would go back to Comcast.
I moved into a new home in the middle of April. The previous owner had Verizon Fios in this house, so there was minimal installation that had to be done when I initially set up my cable. My house was pretty much empty at the time, so we had the TV's set up where we had a place to put it (upstairs, kitchen, and living room). We recently bought bedroom furniture, so we could now move the TV to where we initially wanted it, in our bedroom. However when we tried to hook it up to an outlet, no picture came though. This is when my awful experience with verizon customer service (or lack there of) began.
I took time out of my work day to call Verizon about this problem. I was on hold for about 30 mins until I actually heard a human's voice. He was unable to help me since I was not at home to unplug and plug things back in.
I called again when I was home, this time I was on hold for about 20 mins (wow)... the first person could not help me, so she transferred me to another department... put on hold for 35 mins.... this perosn couldnt help me either and they transferred me back to the SAME DEPARTMENT I WAS INITIALLY TRANSFERRED FROM.... put on hold for about 45 mins... finally i speak with someone that knows what they are talking about. Of course I have to go through all the same steps that I did the first time which did not work. As this person decides I need a technician, he begins to look up available dates... and then after an hour and 35 mins on the phone, it gets disconnected! I wait for 5 minutes to get a call back but I get NOTHING. I spent now 2 hours trying to deal with this and verizon doesnt even call me back when its their phone that gets disconnected? Thats terrible.
I call back after 10 mins and am put on hold right away (obviously).... after 25 mins of being on hold, shocker - the call is disconnected again.
That was enough for one day
I call back again the next day... same old thing... put on hold for 30 mins, talk to one person who cant help me, transferred to another department and put on hold for 20 more mins.
Finally with the tech department who says they are going to schedule a tech to come out to fix the problem but also mentioned they are going to charge me $55 for this! Are you kidding me?????? Verizon wastes about 4 hours of my life and busy day and then has the nerve to say they are going to charge me for it? I asked the person several times if I could speak with a manager or supervisor, they never let me. I asked multiple times and she just said that they wouldnt be able to help me and that the charge would stick.
I can't imagine that anyone would treat a brand new customer like this. I will not recommend Verizon to any one until I see some kind of help or REAL customer service from them.

I did call them this morning, and still on the phone.
I will say this - the reps are very friendly and do try to help in earnest. That's been my experience overall with Verizon. So in terms of the actual people, I give them an A+.
In terms of their system and how they process things, they get a big fat F. The very idea that I sent back a phone with accessories and their warehouse only registered the return of the phone pretty much says that there is something fishy going on there at the warehouse. And it took an hour to sort this out so far and counting.
The thing that bugs me about Verizon is how complicated it is to get everything straightened out.
Right now, they are trying to sort out the activation fee - I already have been charged one and now they are trying to figure out if i have to pay another one. Another 15 minutes just on that.
Everything has been resolved. Thankfully, Verizon's saving grace is that their reps are nice people.

Bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet and Customer Service

I had an extremely bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet service and I will never use Verizon again.
In August 2014, I called and installed the Verizon Fios Internet and phone bundle. I asked the customer agent several times if I will be charged anything before the installation of the Internet and phone service. She said, 'No, we will only start charging after the Internet and phone are installed at your apartment'. I went to the store and picked up the router and phone and installed it at home by myself. The router did not work. I called Tech support and they said it will take several days for another available agent to come and look into the issue. I decided to discontinue the service and closed the account that same night.
At the end of the month, I received a bill of $80 of activation fee for the internet service. Nothing was ever activated, my internet router did not work, and I got charged an activation fee for a service that I did not even start using. From August to December, I called customer service over 10 times and some of them said they will waive it while the others said it's a non-refundable activation fee. One lady said, 'Ma'am, the activation fee starts when you placed the order, the warehouse received it and packed the router in the boxes....' Isn't that ridiculous? If that's the case, please ask all your customer representative to say a clause before new customers open their account: Are you aware that you will be charged a non-refundable activation fee once you open the account regardless of whether or not you use the service or not.
So after 3 months (November 2014), I decided to get out of all these troubles and paid off my $80 activation fee. They put the bill in the collection agency and I called them and paid the overdue balance. Then in December 2014, I received a statement saying I have a $3.11 overdue balance. The collection agency told me that they will charge me for the whole activation fee and a $3 transaction fee for the transaction. So now Verizon came back and said I owed them the $3 because I paid the collection agency their transaction fee.
I am very disappointed and furious about the whole Verizon operating system. Charging a customer for an activation fee for a service s/he has not consumed or used does not make any business sense. In addition, they do not know how to coordinate with the collection agency on overdue bills. Give the customer a heads-up that they will be charged a transaction fee on top of the overdue balance, and that transaction fee does not count towards clearing the balance.
I have completely lost my confidence in Verizon albeit the many good feedback from my friends.

Hi crystallau52,
Sorry you are having difficulty. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

Yoga 2 Pro - Broken in less than a year - A terrible experience with IdeaPads

Hi guys!
I'm hear to tell everyone about my pretty terrible experience with Lenovo and my Yoga 2 Pro IdeaPad. It's not a review or anything but more of a forewarning to those who are thinking of buying from Lenovo.
I'm also here to help others out in my situation, that is, if you are stuck with a half broken (or in my case, completely faulty) laptop and Lenovo won't help you out (fixes are in italics).
The beginning
So I bought a Yoga 2 Pro at BestBuy in the USA about a year ago. I live in Australia so I asked about international warranty and they said that the notebook is covered by international warranty.
The day the screen flashed black and white
About a few months in the screen began flashing black and white rapidly (it goes from black to white about twice a second) for about 30 seconds to a minute. I found that you can stop this from happening if you open and close the lid a couple of times. Not really a big issue unless you set your laptop to go to sleep/shutdown when you close the lid. I don't so everything was fine.
The day the Wi-Fi NIC stopped working properly
So then a couple of months after that my Wi-Fi began to play up. I recently found out that you can prevent this from happening by ensure that you don't put any pressure on the sides of the base of the laptop (Eg. don't put your elbow on the side of the laptop and hold your head up with the same elbow).
I also worked out a while ago that you can get the Wi-Fi to work again if you go Right click Wireless Icon->Network And Sharing Center->Change Adapter Settings->Right Click Wi-Fi->Disable it->Renable it
Here comes the bad stuff...
Screws began to fall out
So then the screws began to fall out. I screwed a couple back in when they were wobbly but they eventually fell out without me realising. This suggests that the screw holdings have poor quality threading and as a result the screws begin to fall out. I now have 5 out of 11 screws on the backplate of notebook.
And also the screw holdings.
Yup, the actually thing that the screw screws into fell out as well. About three of them fell out. I don't know how it could possibly do so but it did, it happened when I picked up my laptop from the desk.
And then the charger socket broke
I can no longer charge my laptop -> I now have a very expensive beverage coaster
So then the charger socket cracked in half too! Again, not really sure how it happened but it did, it might possibly be from the heat of the laptop causing the plastic to expand when heated and retract when cooled. I have the i7 CPU version so it may get hotter than normal.
The laptop no longer charges so I no longer have a laptop to use (I use my desktop to work (and occasionally my phone)).
Not to worry! I'll just make use of my international warranty...?
And then the customer service were not helpful:
And then they said I didn't have international warranty...
And then they admitted that I did...
And then they claimed international warranty does not apply in Australia...
So I emailed Lenovo customer service and they kept claiming that my notebook did not have international warranty.
I talked to Jessica, Jason, Jai, Jasmin, Jackie (why are there so many J's?) and Adam.
Eventually one of them admitted that I do have international warranty but it is not supported in Australia. How convenient for them.
The notebook has never been dropped
I am the only user of the notebook
The notebook is kept in a padded laptop bag.
I was very polite to customer service.
All I'm left with is a very expensive notebook that doesn't actually work.
As a result I can only strongly recommend that you avoid buying from Lenovo. I worry for those who have bought Yoga 3 Pro, with it's watch band design and all.
Here are some pictures I took a few weeks ago (I photoshopped the stickers out):
This is what the charger socket looks like now (Hard to take a good picture, sorry!) Note that it ha...
6 Missing Screws, 3 Missing Screw Holdings
This is what happens when you open the laptop
Hope that cuts down your options when you go out to buy a laptop! Have fun deciding!

Same issues with my Yoga, from India.
Screen (twice), wifi, charger and battery issues, SERVICE issues, no screws in the back...
Beside that my laptop USB and bluetooth is also not working and it is soo slow...
I just bought a non lenovo charger.
Yes and my laptop never left my office table.
I was hoping to fix it in Australia and I guess not.
Avoid by any cost Lenovo products!!! ZERO service.

My iphone plus is bending, what does Apple offer regarding this issue?
I am trying to get to contact with Apple Customer Care, but not clear to me how to do it beside this channel of communication. I bought the phone from kosovar carrier which is under Slovenian ownership. This means that the original warranty comes from Slovenia, bit complicated but still I would like to get an urgent answer how to proceed with this issue, thanks

Maybe i should have only asked if anyone is aware on apple's policy
regarding bending. I took the point that this seems not a proper forum to
pose Q's to apple thanks to both

Could anyone show me how to file a complaint with Verizon Customer Service?

I would first like to state that this is my first time having an issue with Verizon Customer Service.In all my years of using their service, I had never run into someone that truly had no idea what they were talking about. I would like to file a complaint to save everyone from experiencing the frustration I am feeling and from wasting your time.
Here is the story, so that you can understand the reason why I would like to file a complaint;
My phone has always had an SD Card in addition to the phone memory because my phone memory is already tiny, less than 1 GB.I put things that cannot be put on my SD Card (my text messages, contacts, etc.).
This past week I kept on receiving air messages that my phone memory was full. I deleted most of my text messages but I still received air messages that my phone memory was "full". I therefore decided to call Verizon Wireless to see if they could help me solve my problem or at least educate me on what was taking space in my phone memory.
Well, I unfortunately had the luck of being connected with a representative named "Naima" and I told her about my phone memory problem. She said she knew how to fix my problem and instructed me to click on the "Format SD Card" button. Following her instructions blindly, I never once stopped to consider that clicking on that button would erase everything. And so ALL my pictures, ringtones, and videos were erased.
Trying to fix her mistake she dug herself into a deeper hole. Instead of admitting that she had made a mistake she claimed that my pictures, ringtones, and videos could be recovered, She had me access Backup Assistant, but my stuff was NOT saved there. I later learned that my phone's Backup Assistant can only save contacts, NOT pictures. She knew what phone I had (representatives have all the phone's info and history) yet she led me in circles and wasted my time and could not own up to her mistake.
What upsets me is the fact that she did not even KNOW that the phone memory and SD Card are 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things.And also she could not own up to her mistake, but instead wasted at least an hour of my time trying to get Backup Assistant to do something it could not.
I then attempted to file a complaint to found that Verizon makes it Virtually Impossible to file a complaint, only through MAIL! Really??

Well actually sending a certified return receipt letter to Verizon Wireless may or may not do any good. you can also file a complaint here http://www.bbb.org
Those out of memory messages usually mean internal memory is getting full. I have no idea of your make and model of device but there are many articles via google that tell you how to transfer files from internal memory to sd card memory.
Now on the off chance your sd card is nearing its capacity you can either hook to your computer via usb and the computer will show two drive letters. One is internal memory and the other is the sd card memory. If its internal memory and your sd card is not full you can drag and drop the files to the sd card. However you can also get a card reader and then make a saved files folder on your desktop, then cut and paste any or all movable files to that new folder you just created. its really very easy.
You can also remove files from internal memory (music, photos,documents) to that folder on your desktop. You can also remove all files and photos from the sd card on a regular basis to never have that low memory problem again. I always purchase the largest sd card that is usable on my device and never save anything like music and photos to internal memory.

If i change my Verizon plan will it effect my security deposit?

if i change my verizon plan will it effect my security deposit return after a year has passed.

I know receiving a refund for your security deposit is important MRM6M! We offer the flexibility to change your plan at anytime, without affecting your agreement or your security deposit refund! You will receive a refund for your security deposit, plus interest with 12 months of on time payments.

Terrible experience first time customer! shame on you Verizon!!!!!!!!!!

My first phone Jan 2014 came through mail .wrong phone.tried to charge me a 350 disconnect fee for it.since Jan I have activated three new phones to my line.two are droid ultras..one a razor ..one a commando.I currently live in iredell co NC (Verizon territory) but travel to my boyfriend home in wilkes co NC several times a week.which Wilkes is Carolina west territory .I've read how proud they both are announcing how they will work together using the same towers.but since I've had my three newest phones this last mth I've rarely been able to dial out when leaving my county .the prob began with only the two droid ultras where we couldn't dial out but could get calls and texts and now is doing it with the commando.this whole mth has been spent talking endless hours to tech support...network specialist.. And at least a dozen trips into two diff cooperate stores searching for answers.all I have gotten was what is typically read to troubleshoot.reboot phone.change Sim card.even now have another droid in place of the old one.same problem still exists.I still have dropped calls on all my four phones even within several ft of cooperate stores.and when going into Carolina west territory getting messages saying don't press send so I can't dial out.all in all I've probably spent 20+ hrs trying to resolve this with still no help.....but hey....I did just get a bogus 569$$$$$$$ bill for one mth with charges that I were never aware of ..shame on Verizon.if anything you should b more willing to listen to your customers instead of simply reading troubleshooting off your screen.and you should compensate them for the whole mth they have dropped calls or can't dial out .but instead you over charge nearly $300 for one mth service.this has been terrible customer service both over the phone and in stores..and terrible coverage .at this point it may be better to pay early termination on all lines instead of future overcharge by hundreds the next two yrs.please shape up and shape up quick Verizon

28659 is wilksboro zip.I understand this is Carolina west territory .but I
travel here at least four times a week so I'd like to see Verizon make sure
my roaming works while here .please review all notes on my account and I'm
sure you can then understand just why I'm so annoyed .dropped calls.up to
16 in one day on the (removed) number .my point is that last mth I added
three new lines and now have a 500$ bill due april20. No one made me aware
the bill would b so high for activating the new lines .also only had the
three newest phones maybe three weeks and haven't been able to enjoy them
due to troubleshooting and dropped calls.due to bad service and lack of
being able to use phones I believe Verizon needs to b reasonable and meet
me half way by lowering the bill bc I'm having to pay for service I wasn't
given .I'm a business professional myself and would never expect to do a
incomplete..unsatisfactory job and expect my client to pay full price.I've
spoken one too many times on the phone with you guys.and from my viewpoint
the refusal to meet me halfway and b fair with this bill is only continuing
to show me just how much your customers are not valued .in the end...yes I
may pay the full bill which is unfair but if so I hope that one time bill
is worth losing a customer long term.my coworkers friends and family are
also with Verizon and bad customer service and customer word of mouth gets
around quick .I've emailed the regional manager also about this .and hate
it got to that point bc it could have been resolved simply by treating your
customers fairly.

Longtime customer - terrible experience with T Series over last year

I've been using Thinkpads for for the last 15 years or so, since they first came out and have been a huge evangelist of them vs. other laptops. In the last year, I've lost almost all of the respect that had been earned over 15 years, because of poor product quality and equally poor customer service.
I purchased a near-top-of-the line Thinkpad T60 for about $2000 a little over a year ago.
From the very beginning it had troubles (blue screens, failing ethernet/wireless connectivity). I spent hours and hours with customer service trying all of the obscure things they suggested (which, if I didn't happen to be a technical person, would have been ridiculous to expect a consumer to do). When none of them worked, I shipped the laptop back, and endured a week without it, which as the CEO of a software company, was a big inconvenience, as I rely on my laptop for everything I do.
They didn't fix it. Over the past month, the BSODs have been coming more and more frequently, and I finally decided that my time was too important to be wasted with the lemon I had bought. Somehow, against my better judgment, I decided to go Thinkpad again, buying a T61 this time. There was no indication on how long it would take, but I assumed it would be a few days or maybe even a week, as I had experienced in the past. After three weeks, I still have not received it. I just got off the phone with Lenovo customer support who informed me that it should ship within the next two weeks, but they had no more precise information. When I asked to speak with someone with better information, the representative said there was no one to speak to.
As someone who runs a software company, I understand that unexpected glitches come up, but you can always compensate with good, open communication with the customer.
Lenovo - my experience with you has been horrendous.

Have you sent a private message to Mark_Lenovo? I am sure that he could help you with this matter.
Good luck!
MacBook Pro, with an aluminum unibody enclosure **As of September 15, 2008, our company has completely switched to Apple. Having used ThinkPad products for over 10 years, we had desperately tried to find just one reason to continue using these products, to no avail. We are of the view that ThinkPads are no longer premium products. We wish you the best of luck with your ThinkPad! Happy computing…**

My experience with Verizon - Horrible - here's why

I had been a customer with Verizon Wireless since 2008. During my time as a customer, service was just ok but I always had service at my home (home office) and at my corporate office. Two of the most important places I needed service. That was until November of 2013 when service at my home and office was no longer consistent or available at all. I had an Android phone so I asked my wife what her service was like in both places since she had an i-phone. She experienced the same service problems. My wife and I both tried to work with Verizon to resolve the issue. Verizon's response..."I see our computer shows service in those areas so there should not be a problem." My wife and I continued to explain to them for 2 months that yes there once was service and then like a switch there was none. I don't care what the computer says there is NO service. Verizon would NOT send someone out to verify service despite requesting them to do so. After 2 months of frustration Verizon offered a solution "you can put a signal booster in your house for an additional $40 a month." I did NOT want to pay extra money to restore service where I once had it. This was a change in service on Verizon's end which created a hardship in me doing business so after two months we came to an agreement that we may cancel our contract and would not be charged for the remaining 4 months. My wife and I canceled our service and went with another provider. Following the cancellation we received a letter in the mail stating that we owed early termination fees! I called Verizon stating that I was assured that I would NOT be charged these fees. Verizon reassured me that was the case and that we needed to wait for the official bill before they could offer the credits. Our bill came...I called Verizon regarding the credits...they flat out LIED and said we do not have any record showing we were going to offer you credits. It has been a constant battle since then and they have now sent my bill to collections. Fed up with dealing with this almost a year later and trying to repair the damage Verizon has done to my credit score I agreed to pay the bill with a "pay for delete option". Verizon's refused. The collection agency then sends me a letter for a settlement offer of 65% of the amount owed. Before scheduling the payment I called Verizon to ensure that if I accept this offer that they would report that the account was "paid in full". Verizon said YES they would report the account as paid in full. I called back and schedule the payment for 1 week out. I DO NOT trust Verizon due to the flat out lies and deceptive way they handled my cancellation so the week gave me a chance to get the "paid in full" reporting status in writing. Once I requested this Verizon back peddled AGAIN and said they would not send the letter and when I pressed the issue they stated that the account would be reported as "settled for less then amount owed". This is VERY different in the eyes of future lenders so canceled my scheduled payment. Verizon CAN NOT BE TRUSTED for anything that they say. They will LIE and delete notes on your account to get things their way. If you choose to (or have to) do business with Verizon get EVERYTHING in writing. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH VERIZON! THEY ARE THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH.

I could not have said it any better VERIZON WILL LIE WITHOUT RESERVATION. THEY ALTERED RECORDS IN CONNECTION TO AN ISSUE I HAD WITH THEM, THEY LIED REPEATEDLY, I KNOW THEY HAVE FLAGGED ME AS A 'PROBLEM CUSTOMER' AND WHEN I CALL THEY ADJUST THEIR TREATMENT OF ME ACCORDINGLY. CALLS MYSTERIOUSLY DROP WHEN TALKING TO REPS, THEY MAKE ME HOLD FOR EXTENDED PERIODS HOPING I WILL HANG UP. NO OTHER COMPANY I HAVE DEALT WITH LIES AS OFTEN OR IN AS MANY WAYS AS THIS COMPANY. THEIR INSOLENCE ONLY HARDENS MY RESOLVE, IF ONLY OTHERS WERE PERSISTENT BEEDS TO CALL UT ALAS. SOMEONE SOMEWHERE NEEDS TO CALL THEM ON IT ONCE IN AWHILE.

Kudos Verizon Customer Care

I just have to say Kudos to Verizon for the customer service I received today!
I was pleasantly surprised there was no wait time at around 5:30 when I called. I spoke with Dominic, who is one of the best customer service reps I've ever dealt with with any company. He was very thorough with his explanations of the packages and asked me questions that made sense. I didn't feel like he was reading from a script. I felt like he was truly trying to understand what my needs were. In addition, throughout the conversation of choosing which package I should change to, he was patient and had a pleasant tone. At no time did I feel like he was trying to rush me off the phone or like I was putting him out with all of the questions I asked. He spoke to me like a person and acted like he really wanted to help me. Finally, he was very upfront with everything he told me. I never felt like he had a hidden agenda.
I know there are plenty of people that post bad experience when they receive it. Good service needs to be recognized also.
Have a great one!

Let me edit my post and say welcome to the Community. Very nice first post.
He must have been in Texas, I think the best support comes from there. Just joking.
I am really happy you had a nice experience, and it is refreshing for you to share that with us all.
For the most part I have always had a good experience with tech support, but mostly you only here about the bad experiences. Which may happen from time to time with any service.
Kudos to you!
Mark

Terrible experience with Verizon customer care. Need update on security deposit.
