Transferring services and double billing...has it happened to you?

I moved back in September of 2013. My goal was to keep all of my Verizon services (FIOS, Phone, Internet &Wireless) and continue to remain a happy Verizon customer, I am still a customer but not that happy,
Prior to our move we had been a one bill customer (not a good thing as you will alter see). We set up the installation date to the new location, made sure all of our balances were paid in full, and moved into our new address.
The first week we were in our new location we were patiently waiting for Verizon to show up and turn on the cable, internet and phone. However when the date came we got a call. Sorry we can't do it. The reason was that we needed to create new accounts for home services and a separate account for wireless services, because Onebill was no longer offered and since we had a new address, it needed to be changed. Frustrated after spending 2 hours on the phone, on a Saturday, trying to figure out what we could do so we could get on line, we realized all we could do was wait. The technician came 4 days later to drop off a new router...that was it a new router. Ok we got past that and Verizon apologized for the miscommunication and the frustration of waiting for nearly 2 weeks to restore our service (which we were billed for and paid).
Fast forward to January 3, 2014. After months of paying my newly created accounts, I received a bill, with no summary of charges for $604. This bill was forwarded from our former address. I looked a the bill checked my new separate accounts, made sure we were paid  in full for both home and wireless and then proceeded to call Verizon to figure out what was going on.
I have spent every week since January 2014 working on getting this resolved. That is 6 month, or 24 weeks, or 156 days without getting any definitive information on what the $604 charge is for.
I have been told that it looks like it was a wireless charge. Great send me the bill so I can see what the charges are for. Verizon has been unable to do that, because the account was closed in September and was an Onebill account.  I asked when are the charges from...I have been told that they were from November and December of 2013. 2 & 3 months after I closed my former Onebill account and opened new wireless and home accounts.
I have called (this is an underestimation) 23 times, spent a total of more than 25 hours on the phone and still here we are…no information, no resolution.
I have however received 2 different collection notices even though I have been told by both FIOS and Wireless that my accounts are in good standing and one even has a credit for paying early.
I have been placed on hold for hours, transferred to incorrect departments, dealt with entry level, middle management and senior management. I have had my claim flagged and raised to Diamond status...still nothing.
...except...
I received an email a few weeks back asking me to provide my bank records to prove I have paid my bill. to which I replied...which ones? The new separate accounts that your accounting system has told both you and I that my accounts are paid in full, or the random $604 (supposedly) wireless bill that I have no record of what the charges are for.
This is what I get for trying to remain Verizon customer? Countless hours of frustration for having my entire house and my families wireless with Verizon. I am paying close to $5500 per year for the "privilege" of being a loyal Verizon customer.
If anyone at Verizon monitors this board feel free to contact me directly..it will the first time someone has.

  • Display Problem - Has this happened to you?

    Well, I have the new 3rd gen 8GB iPod nano. About 4 days ago, I noticed that when I turn on my iPod and highlight 'Music' in the first Menu, it doesn't display the album artwork like its soppose to, it shows 794 songs. Also does this with Movies and Podcasts. However, it does show pictures like its soppose to when I scroll to and highlight 'Photos'. How ever, when im playing music, it displays 1 of 784. So, im missing like 10 tracks. Im afraid something is wrong with my iPod and I still dont know how to fix this problem. I havn't modified the settings/firmware/software in any way. I have the most updated version of the iPod update. Has this happened to you?

    Try the following :-
    1, Make sure you don't have the hold switch in the locked position (so you can operate the ipod buttons).
    2. Press and hold the centre and menu button at the same time, keep them pressed until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen, then release the buttons.
    This will reset your iPod, it will NOT erase any of the contents of the iPod.

    hi Andaleeb sorry to hijack Stephanie's thread!

    I spoke too soon. I tried Facetime again last night and had the same problems. Another factory reset did not work. I think it may be time to just call Apple support.

  • Bad Experience: Customer Service and Automated billing

    I signed up for automated billing before my first bill was due on my u-verse and internet services. My online account and the automated telephone services said I was enrolled in auto pay so I assumed that meant my bill would be deducted as I had signed up for. Apparently automated billing can begin anytime and could take "up to 1-2 billing cycles". I signed up for automated billing so I wouldn't have to deal with late fees (we also have automated billing for our cell service through AT&T and have had for years) because we are extremely busy right now. Of course automated billing conveniently doesn't start now and AT&T informs me 10 days after my bill is due. I call Customer Service and the rep acts like I'm ignorant for not knowing that automated billing hasn't started yet and that there will be a late fee. What a nice reward for signing up for automatic bill pay. Most companies give incentives like a percentage off their bill and can figure out how to get the auto pay set up immediately. Not AT&T. They instead pull a "in the fine print" move and tag on a 9.00 late fee for missing your payment. Not happy and we have been loyal AT&T phone customers for years. Will be reconsidering TV and internet services now if this is the direction AT&T's customer service is headed.

      Well, they did say it might not work until 1 or 2 bill cycles, so if it was me I'd check online for the bill.
    Personally I signed up for autopay to my CC the day after I was installed, but due to being installed on the start of my biling cycle day, I didn't get a bill for 6 weeks.  Even then everything got paid on autopay due to having 2 full cycles on my bill.
    Might get some relief from ATT Customer Care, click the ATT Customer Care link in my signature below, send the PM, explain your autopay situation.
    Include your name, account #, email address and a good phone # (land or cell) and time to contact you on.
    Check the blue PM envelope, upper right on every page, for their reply. Good luck

  • FireFox 3.6.23 & 7.0.1 keeps crashing ever now and then, it has already happened atleast 10 times in the last 2 hours or so. No crash report is available. This is going on for the last month or so.

    The articles/KB were not helpful in resolving the problem. I am posting this via Opera.

    Sorry folks for the late reply.
    It seems the problem was with my computer and not with FireFox. Finally, my PC stopped working. Had to get a brand new PC, there seems to be no problem with version 7.0.1 - all is fine so far.

  • I can hear a person on my mac has this happened to YOU?

         Ok this is really strange but 3 days ago I was sitting at my imac typing away in word for mac when all of a sudden I could hear someone (like a but dial on a cell phone)  I listened for a bit and started yelling "HELLO" but they could not hear me the only program that was running at the time was finder and word for mac.  I called Apple tech and talked to a tech who told me he had never heard of something like this happening before.  We were on the phone for about 30 minutes all the while the person I heard was still on my imac. I could hear cars racing by like their window was open and the sound was VERY clear.  Funny thing is I live in the country and my road is silent during the day other than the occasional mower noise.  I could also tell that they had hardwood floors because every now and again they would walk across the floor and then bang something on a desk or counter or something.  I kept hoping the phone would ring so I could hear a voice or name so I could tell them my imac could hear them.. (it was like a baby monitor was built into my mac) ... they never answered the phone as it never rang, but I could hear them turning pages, sighing and breathing....
         It was creapy. I called my daughter as she is a mac techy type and let her listen to it and she couldnt figure it out. The Apple guy could hear it but not figure it out. I called a friend who has an imac to see if she had ever experienced this and still no answer.  Now today it did it again, and as I am typing this I can hear this person walking around, cars moving by the open window at fast speeds, turning pages, sighing, breathing and banging on a surface of some sort.  It has been on today about 4 hours and now is sort of creapy and annoying at the same time.  Anyone EVER had anything like this happen?  It starts out of the blue and I can reboot and it is still there... but it stops as mysteriously as it started, yet sounds like they may be near a laptop because I hear a click like the top of a laptop being closed then they are gone.  WEIRD....
    Someone has to have experienced this before, but I have searched the net thinking someone would say something but I find nothing no matter how I word my search.
    Anyway, any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
    Oh and incase you need to know I have the following Apple products:
    Ipad 3 (1 in home)
    Ipad 2 (3 in home)
    Iphone 4s (3 in home)
    Apple TV (4 in home)
    Mackbook pro (2 in home)
    One could say I am a fruit tard as my kids friends call me. We are Apple all the way.

    Ok the answer to Shootist007
    I have cable internet and cable phone yes
    To Mike Sombrio
    I changed the frequency of the wireless router with the Apple tech to no avail and we changed it a few times.
    To Csound1
    Surprisingly the sound was not affected by the volume controls and the weird thing is I even tried playing an Itunes music track to overide the sound that was being made and it was playing but I could not hear it ... it was like this thing just toook over my mac. I could not hear the music and going to youtube same results could see it playing but no sound other than the creapy breathing.

  • I was double billed for CC on 12/30/14.. Adobe less than helpful

    I signed up for the creative cloud membership on 12/30, but there was a problem with your website when I tried processing my payment, and it told me to try again in a few minutes.  So I did, and it went through.  I then got a call from my bank with fraud alert because there were 2 charges for $119.88 that ended up going through.  Because I told my bank that I didn't authorized 2 charges, they canceled my card and I'm having to deal with getting a replacement - which is an inconvenience as it is.. so I called you guys about it the next day and the woman who answered told me I would need to call back after a couple days because she didn't have the ability to credit back the duplicate charge (that's NOT 'great' service) ... so today I got around to trying to contact you to find out your phone lines are closed, so I guess chatting is my only option.. so I tried that, and their chat service doesn't give me any update as to how long it will be before someone comes on to help me.  Judging by all the other posts about this issue, it would appear that Adobe is intentionally double billing customers and making it very difficult to have the issue resolved.

    Vikram V: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
    Vikram V: Hi Mark
    Vikram V: Please allow me a moment while I review your issue.
    mark: I don't have much time left.. your guys chat service is terrible.. .it didn't give me any notice of how long I might be waiting for a response, or where I was in queue, or anything. I was starting to think you guys were closed. This is very frustrating.
    Vikram V: I understand your frustration, I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
    Vikram V: I am sorry to inform you that the applications are down currently hence we are unable to check the information, I request you to please contact us back after few hours so that we will be able to assist you better.
    Vikram V: We are sorry but Adobe.com and related services are experiencing system maintenance. Our apologies for the inconvenience and request you to check  back after 6-7 hours as our IT/Web team is working on this.
    mark: holy crap... are you freaking kidding me?
    mark: No - that's not acceptable. I want a supervisor or manager to own this and contact me back within 48 hours letting me know that the double charge has been adjusted. You guys are thieves. this is ridiculous
    mark: I have to go, but I will expect a call back on Monday with confirmation of credit, from a Supervisor or Manager.
    Yeah.. .that's world-class customer service.  No notice of how long it will take for someone to assist me, or anything.  I would expect better service from a company like Adobe.

  • Bad Service and No Customer Loyalty

    Worst customer service ever.  Went to the Verison store today because my power button on the top of my IPhone 5 was not working.  I did a little research before and found this is a common problem with IPhone 5's.  Wanted to inquire about getting a replacement to find out my 1 year warranty expired 2 weeks ago.  The only thing the associates at the Katy, TX store would tell me was I should have bought the extended warranty.  I have been a loyal customer for almost 10 years and they would not make a consideration. They just wanted to push their warranty.   So much for customer service and loyalty.  When asked why do you not stand behind your product the manager said we stand behind the serivce not the product, you can talk to Apple about that.  Just horrible customer service. I wlll be looking at taking my $200 a month bill to another carrier that shows some interest in keeping loyal cusotmers. I will also be spreading my story to as many people I can. It would be nice to hear from someone from Verison.  Has anyone else run into situations like this?

    i disagree and maybe I am just old school.  But if i purchased something I expect it to last more then 1 years, especially when the contract I signed for service is 2 years.  And yes I understand manufacturers warranties, but good customer service and showing loyalty would have at least brought more empathy from the consultant as opposed to "you should have bought our warranty".  I had a situation a few years ago with a washer from Best Buy.  About 3 months out of "warranty" it broke.  I have been a loyal BB customer for years and they recognized that, they sent a tech to look at it, deemed it was defective and replaced the unit at no charge to me.  That is what loyalty and service is all about.

  • Business Service and logical system naming criteria across environments

    Hi !
    Imagine this scenario: File-XI-IDOC. There is a file server where files are uploaded by a legacy application. XI polls that directory, converts the file to IDOC and sends it to R/3.
    R/3 is a production business system, for example "R3_PROD", the file server is a business SERVICE, because of its abstract nature.
    Is it ok to give that business service a name such as "BS_FileServer" and then create the logical system "LS_FileServer" in R/3, to be able to receive IDOCs from the sender business service?
    If we need to use 3 different file servers, one for development, one for test and another for production...is it ok to create the business service in each integration directory with SAME name, and the 3 logical systems with same name in each R/3 receiver...because creating business services as "BS_FileServer_DEV", "BS_FileServer_TEST" and "BS_FileServer_PROD" we imagine that could give us problems when transporting scenarios from dev to test, and from test to prod...because we will need to recreate the whole scenario using the new object denomination.. e.g. a scenario including BS_FileServer_DEV in development is called BS_FileServer_TEST in test..or worse..we could have the BS object transported and as a result we would have a BS_FileServer_DEV object in integration directory of our test environment...
    Is this the right path?
    Thanks,
    Matias.

    Hey,
    When a technical system is defined  for a product / s/w comp version we also enter the parameter for logical system name. If a buisness system is defined for a technical system then it in turns refers to the technical system with buisness system assigned to it.
    Itz lyk linkage of  <b>PRODUCT -> S/W COM VERSION -> TECHNICAL SYSTEM (LOGICAL SYSTEM) -> BUSINESS SYSTEM</b>
    As per file to idoc scenario where <b>BUSINESS SERVICE</b> is used it doesn't refer to technical landscape so there is no question of Business system. With relevance to transports.
    With File -XI-Idoc scenario the concept of logical system only comes into picture if we have  a integration process also involved in the scenario. Where in adapter specific identifiers we specify the logical system name of the sender file system.
    Integration Repository.
    1)  The Software Component version need to be same in all the landscapes that is a prerequisite else transport will fail.
    Integration Directory:
    2) Assuming that transport is being done for all the objects under a service and the objects has been transported to the test landscape business service with same name will be create in test sys only address and access parameters that have to be entered again and the change list has to be activated.
    I haven't  tried exporting individual object from ID so no clue.
    Please refer the following link<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/93/a3a74046033913e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Transporting XI Objects</a> .

  • Dramatic Drop in Books Sales from Over 270 per month to less than 70. Any answers as to why? Has this happened to others?

    Sales of my books averaged over 270 per month for almost all of 2011 and 2012 and for January of 2013--then in February of 2013 and continuing to the present, sales dropped to less than 70 per month.
    The sudden drop from over 270 per month to less than 70 per month with sales suddenly falling off the fiscal cliff in Februrary of 2013 is inexplicable.  I can find no reason for it. 
    Therefore, I am asking other authors: Has this happened to you? Any idea of what changed? I presume something must have changed within the itunes bookstore, or there was a change in the listing of my books.

    In additon to this forum, we contacted Apple Ibookstore support and this afternoon they may have provided the explantion:
    According to Apple:
    "iBookstore that change frequently including top charts and any featured placement sections (IE: New and Noteworthy sand other special or seasonal sections). All featured placement is solely at the discretion of Apple and isn't guaranteed. If your book was in one of these prominent sections or top charts before and is no longer there, this might be what you are noticing in your numbers."
    Fortunately for us, our authors probably got us featured placement for 2 years. Unfortunately for us, after 2 years it appears we were shoved aside for another pretty face. Thus, book sales imploded.
    We thank Apple for answering our inquiries and providing us with useful information as to how to (hopefully) drive sales back up.

  • I having problems saying i need to upgrade my flash player and when i do nothing happens

    I cant seem to get flash player to work. I just got a new macbook pro a couple days ago and some videos and programs dont work. It say "missing plu in" the ill click on a link and get directed to adobe flash. I downloaded it but still nothing works.

    You downloaded it, but did you actually properly install it? Go to your Downloads folder, locate the Flash file (which will be called something.dmg), double-click to open. It should open a new window - if not, check for a new "Install Flash" image on your Desktop. DOuble-click that to open, locate the installer inside it and double-click one more time. You should get a dark window with a prompt to close all browsers if they're open; you should be asked if you want Adobe to install updates automatically (you should choose this), and then proceed with the update. You'll also be asked for your Mac's admin login and password. Once that's all done, re-open Safari and check back with the sites that weren't working earlier.
