So finally verizon 'backed down' from trying to charge folks another $2. However, I just got a bill from Verizon and they 'jacked on' another 99 cents to my account thinking I would not notice. This 99 cents is supposed to be for Administrative Fees". I promptly filed online complaints with the FTC, FCC and the Washington Attorney General Office on January 18th/. Does Verizon think we are *** Consumers or do they know that since they are so big that they can simply 'get away' with this crap?. 99 cents is not much but multiply that amount by millions who use Verizon and see what they make as pure profit/. More gouging of the consumers". Someone just called me from the Irvine CA Verizon HQ and wished to speak with me about my FTC complaint and he said he needed to 'record the conversation for training purposes'|. So I said that I too needed to record this conversation for 'training purposes' and he declined to allow me to do that'. So I said I wish to have a transcript then of the recording for training purpose recording and he said no". Boy they just get everything their way don't they? Anyone else notice their new way of trying to get more money from us? Administrative fee of 99 cents...MY BUTT! Everyone needs to file complaints with the FCC and FTC so they get in trouble for this!!!! Lets remind Verizon why their stockholders and CEOs make money...it's because we the consumers buy their product and with all of us banding together to put a stop to this greed....maybe we can make a difference for the real people in this country not the CEOs! 1296bd9

| 1. Written by Brad on March 2, 2012 from sarepta, louisiana, US I called Verizon about the $.99/line administrative fee and was told it was for satellite networking". I asked why the $9.99/line did not cover that? After arguing for 30 minutes they reversed the charged. On my next bill I was also credited for the effect on Other Fees & surcharges -.21 State Tax -.13 Local Tax -.06 Clearly this is a bogus fee that goes directly to Verizon's bottom line since it is taxed. |
| 2. Written by Pam on February 10, 2012 from twinsburg, ohio, US After calling Verizon Wireless about this exact issue, and having my bill increase three months in a row because of increased Universal Service Fee and the now increased Administrative Fee, I was told by one of their employees that a portion of that Administrative fee goes to fund the 'free' cell phone plans for the poor. I understand that the Universal Service Fee is also being used to fund this. I am tired of paying for someone else to have a 'free' cell phone and minutes, when it is becoming more and more difficult to manage what I pay in full every month for four phones!..ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!! I also read that the pre-pay customers do not pay this charge. I am not 100% sure if that is true, but once again, the devoted LONG TIME customers are again not appreciated at all. They had to somehow make up the money that the 'lost fee' for paying your bill online would have brought them. Perhaps it is time for a big change! |
