Verizon wireless collection that's not valid. please help?

About 4-5 months ago I decided I wanted to start service with Verizon so I went online and ordered a phone. A few hours later I decided I wanted to keep my current wireless provider so I called Verizon and told them i no longer wanted the device. The order had already shipped but they stopped shipment when it arrived at it's 2nd location so the device never actually made it to me. Ok so i figured everything was all good since the rep said I was all set and it was cancelled. Well, about 3 weeks later I received a bill for a phone i never even received...Ok, no big deal so i called and spoke to someone and they could see the phone was never delivered to me and also no usage on the account so he said he cancelled everything and I have nothing to worry about. Well, last week a Verizon collection popped up on my report for a balance of $200. My score dropped quite a bit due to this. I'm still very calm about everything and thinking, ok this must just be a mix up. Anyway, I send an e-mail to the CEO address and I receive a call about 30 minutes later. He looks up the account and sees that the phone was returned back to their warehouse and I should have never been liable for this debt. I told him I wanted it removed immediately (just as I stated in the e-mail i sent) from my credit reports and he agreed that's what needed to be done since I shoudl have never been liable for this. He put me on hold and came back and said he forwarded it to someone to take care of it and they will have it removed and also a letter will be mailed to me showing it's not my debt or whatever. Woke up yesterday and Verizon updated the collection to "PAID" with a 0$ balance. They can't do that can they?? doesn't the entire trade-line have to be removed?? seeing as they know and agreed I should have never been billed in the first place, let alone sent to collections. I guess I wouldn't care since it has no balance but from reading these forums...a paid collection is just as bad as an unpaid collection as far as your FICO, correct? What can I do to have this removed completely? I haven't contacted VZW yet. Should I contact them again and if no luck, file a complaint with the BBB / CFPB?   You guys rock!!!! Thanks in advance.  

Wait for your letter to show up also. Like 21 said give it maybe a week or so, don't freak out just yet and see what they do.

  • HT1539 Digital copy code on the DVD Knight and Day saying 'not valid', please help.

    I bought the DVD Knight and Day and i have tried to download the digital copy of the film, however when i go to add my serial number for itunes which was on the slip in the dvd box, it says ' this code is not valid', i have entered the code many times and correctly, please help.

    From what I can tell, the digital copy offer for Alvin & the Chipmunks expired back in March; at least it did for the Blu-Ray version in the US. This is a scam being run by the movie studios; they advertise digital copies on the Blu-Ray and DVD disks they sell, but don't tell you up front that they're redeemable only for a limited time after the movie is first released. You may need to contact customer support for 20th Century Fox and get them to help:
    [email protected] or dial (866) 520-6606

    Hi Jyo1105,
    Thanks for your question. Based on my research and experiences, the issue may be caused by you set the @CenterID
    is a multiple values parameter.
    If in this condition, you couldn’t use the expression of
    Parameters!CenterID.Value directly, you
    should use a join() function on the parameter to merge the whole values, or add a sequence number behind the expression to use a specific value, just like this:
    =join(Parameters! CenterID.Value) or
    =Parameters! CenterID.Value(0)
    If your issue still exsits, please feel free to let me know.
    Thanks,

    You need a SIM card from the carrier your phone is locked to. If you are trying to use a SIM card from a different carrier, that is why you are getting the error message. Either get a supported sim or request that your phone be unlocked by contacting that carrier.

    I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
    After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
    ***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.

    If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ?
