Verizon - Fios Bundle Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Yesterday I called to discuss my bill spoke to Eric. Eric basically played me. I first had an issue concern 250.00 on my bill. I also mention i didnt understand why it was so high since i got the service. I signed up 2 years ago for 79.99 looking at least 100.00 i guess. Nope nonething under 140.00! However he says he is sorry and do what he can ro resolve it in so many words. He says i will also give you the new router or some ***. Suppose to be faster...like Verizon isnt already fast i thought. I mean i swithch from At&t thinking i was getti g the best. Anyway he spoke so fast and never oncw said i would be losing all my channels, but it would reduce my bill slightly. Every dollar counts. That my bundle would be the same and restarted my contract for the next 2 year. So I am suppose to have tbe same package plus fpr my issues this router at a nonething or low price. Basically i come home today i dont have no *** channels, not even BET, MTV, OWN, ...nonething! So i called agin this evening spoke to Kersey, ask to speak to the supervisor. Can you believe the supervisor never got on the phone. Sending mesaages through Kersey. Even after o requested as the consumer for higher authority to address my concern. One thing that i can say about AT&T was thier customer service was Excellent! However Verizon offered faster speed and better bundle package for my needs. Supervisor never came on the phone. She said his name was Brian. Ok. She said that all movie channels were removed and that is what will reduce my bill. That i still had tome left on my orignal promotion to have rhe movie channels so she would add rhwm back. But after the 6th of Jan i would be paying 40 or more dollars to keep. On top of my 132.00 o rhink i was quoted now. Do i agree? No i stated and thats not what i agreed to. I requested thw call be played back, because it said rhis call is recored for blahh blahh. I sure you listen , to enhance and control custmer satisfaction. So i did not agree to not havi g no channels, movie, familiy lifetime...all of ot os gone. And its false advertisement is Eric was trying to get his Commission . He clearly stated I will get the same package . So no I did not agree to what he was saying . So then I ask were the service area located. This is were i ended ...she said the Philippines! I am calling from Washington DC, ..i ask where are the service centers in the States! She said i needed to call back during normal business hours 8 to 5 eastern to speak to and American rep. Verizon should be ashamed of yourself!

Non-disclosure of billing charges at Verizon Store, 20436 Route 19, Suite 650, Cranberry Twp PA 16066

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We purchased a Samsung Galaxy J3 V on October 22, 2016. The salesman said they were running a special promotion on the Hum system and it was FREE.

I am not very cell-phone friendly, so I asked many questions and stated multiple times that I wanted a low-priced phone with low monthly fees and no contracts. Since he assured us the Hum was free, we took it. As he processed the order, the salesman said, "You will see another phone listed on your bill. That's the Hum line.

Don't worry about that." He NEVER said we would be charged $29.99 for the HUM system and $10 a month for the line access fee. All receipts for the purchase were e-mailed to my husband who was set up as account owner so we could take advantage of the discount available through his employer. As account USER, I had limited access and was unable to see details of receipts, bills, statements, etc. We were not given hard copies of ANY receipts or agreements that we signed on the tablet.

My husband was unable to access the Verizon account when he tried to get in to look at details. The nasty surprise is that if we want to return this so-called free HUM system, they will charge us a $30 stocking fee. What a punch in the gut to have to pay another $30 to get rid of a system we actually didn't want and only took because he told us it was completely FREE. This is bait and switch.

It's a shame a large company like Verizon would practice this and snooker its customers. I plan to argue this until I am red in the face and get satisfaction for the non-disclosure of the charges we have on our bill.

Verizon FIOS customer service fail!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I wanted to upgrade my TV portion of my triple play. I wanted to pay them more money. But when I checked into my options online, imagine my surprise when I saw that they offer less expensive plans to new customers than they will offer to existing customers. I don't want a better price, but if they offer a price to a new customer shouldn't they match that price to an existing customer? No, apparently they don't think they should. They seem to believe that an existing customer should pay a premium to be their customer. So when my current deal expires, I'll switch to a different service provider.

Bad customer service, don't care about clients

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Worst customer service i have ever dealt with. They do not care how long you've been a customer, they will not help you.Had a phone with Verizon for 15 years, then got internet. When my family ran my bill up, I made arrangements to pay the bill while the internet was off. I didn't like how they treated me during this time, so i wrote them to tell them i will be reconsidering my options and continued service. Instead of reaching out to me and making an offer to keep my service, they just reconnected me and started charging...no contact. I wrote them 2 more letters telling them to shut down the service now, and i did not authorize any of this. They charged me for half a month past and a month in advance. Then when they shut off the service, they didn't adjust any of it, even after it was shut off. In fact, they sent me another bill for another month in advance...again after the service was shut off. Finally when i'm forced to endure another phone call to customer service, which has been a horrible experience...i call 5 different numbers before reaching someone, explained my situation to 2 people, one being Jennifer, a manager. After telling her of my situation, she proceeded to argue with me. Apparently, even though I made it VERY CLEAR in my letter to stop my service, it was not good enough and I don't deserve any break. That I needed to call them and tell them to stop my service, rather than write them. She considers those true charges and will not adjust any of it. I switched carriers right away and cancelled my phone contract with Verizon. If Verizon doesn't care about a 15 year customer, don't think they care about any of their customers. They would rather stand by their technicalities and strong arm their customers into paying what they want, than to consider the value of a long term customer and what they have to gain by taking care of this customer.They lost my internet account, which could have been saved if handled differently, and they lost my phone account. They would have made more money by keeping me a client, because i probably would have stayed another 15 years. Best thing is, I am paying less for more with this new carrier, and i get better reception at my house. Thanks Verizon!!

Verizon - Phone Plan Review from Knoxville, Tennessee

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Im so pissed at the data ysage for my bill. I use no data from my plan, I only use wifi, and still get a message saying that I've sed my data. If my data setting is turned off, then how am i using it!!??. I tried to turn off the backgroung data to a couple of recently dowmloaded apps, but always got an error message that the program had stopped. Verizon, you make me sick! I dont want an upgrade, i dont want you to tell me that all the things i do on wifi run up data on my phone. My phobe shouldnt use any data when i have the mobile data turned off. I pay you to make phone calls from my cell phone. I pay my internet service provider to use the internet on any device i choose. Ive bought this device so i *** own it and you cant tell me that i have to *** pay for data that i dont *** use or want to use when i turn off my mobile data and use the wifi. I wish you would fix this because i enjoy your phone service, which is expensive enough as it is. Theres absoulty no reason for overage charges in this day and age when everything runs on wifi.....so for that reason YOU GUYS ***

Verizon FiOS Monthly Bill Up Again

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Seems the only way to lower the bill is to lock in for another two years > been a customer for 8 years > that will end this week when I have Comcast install a month to month account. I have a DVR (ONE TV) phone and 50/50 Internet >>> $200 is ridiculous. Wait until the new customers at $69 find out what happens to the bill after the promotion ends. I will not lock in because the last two "Lock ins" >>> I lost channels and had no recourse to correct because of the contract. Was told one thing and ended up with 90%. Was very happy with the service > Customer service when I did have a problem was very helpful but the cost is out of control. The agent had no intensives other than a contract to reduce the bill. I would have stayed if they reduced the bill to $175.00 > but the agents are at the mercy of Verizon's playbook.

Shady tactics

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
With a new upgrade and new number, they were supposed to cancel the old line at the same time. I'm assuming the sale representative gets some kind of commission for new line and did not cancel the old line. We had been paying for additional line for 3 months because they ALSO made the bill electronic so no copies of charges were mailed. Called them to dispute the charges and said they could only remove it for the month that i'm calling for. I had to state that the line was clearly not being used at all and that's when they reversed the charges for the 3 months. Now the extra line is still on the statement for this month and are refusing to remove it since the account was closed after this billing cycle and can't see if it was being used or not. They cause so much work for the customer to have to do in order to fix it.

Account went to Collections in error over equipment return. I can't get it resolved.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
9/25/16 My issue is very similar to this one online. I could not post to the Verizon forum as I no longer have a Verizon account. https://forums.verizon.com/t5/My-Verizon-Account/Erroneous-outstanding-account-balance-sent-to-collection-agency/td-p/773370 I was a Verizon customer for several years. A high-end customer with an HD DVR and high speed internet and always paid on time (automatically). Their internet and DVR is pretty good, though it was always a little pricey and occasionally we had outages. First I want to say I have tried and tried to get this resolved by calling Verizon and they have even told me several times that they are resolving it, but here I am, 4 years later. In Sept. 2012, I disconnected my service and sent back the equipment. I was moving to a new house which didn’t have verizon coverage. I still have the shipping record. Verizon has told me several times they have received the DVRs. The billed me for $335, I didn’t pay and I told them it was in error. It quickly went out for collections. I had talked to them almost two years ago and everything was clear and they were going to clean it all up. Still today the collections company, Trident Asset is has a collection on my credit for $335. I call them and they say Verizon has to recall it. Now when I call Verizon the refuse to recall it and can’t find the records of the account and won’t do anything about it. I have spent more than 6 hours on the phone with both Verizon and the collections organizations, trying to work this out, talking to different people, getting the run around. I am refinancing my home and this is costing me a 1/4 point of interest on my mortgage. It has been impacting my credit for 4 years. I haven’t usually worried about my credit because it has always been close to perfect, so I haven’t been delligent about this. What are my options at this point. Do I pay off the collections? Obviously, I should have a long time ago. The $335 is costing me more at this point then $335. Do I take Verizon to small claims court and try to get $5k in damages, a small piece of the financial cost they have plagued me with in higher mortgage costs and other interest costs? Any guidance? What avenue can I resolve this simply and quickly? Timlhicks@***.com 805-405-****

Verizon Fios handles moves poorly

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Moving to an area where Verizon does not offer the same services (TV, internet, and phone) I have currently. Contacted Verizon 2 weeks ago and was told that services could be canceled, without penalty, due to above lack of all services. Today I am told that I will have to pay a penalty (and this was explained in previous call, which it wasn't) in order to cancel services (or take Direct TV instead of FIOS, negating my pricing I have for FIOS Triple Play). Plus I received emails to my account indicating new service new potential owners?) being installed at current location. Obvious lies so What gives?

Cancelled service received a check for overpayment and now turned over to collections

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Unbelievable customer service management ...I cancelled my service for far too many reasons to list but mostly poor communication with sales driven customer service..when I closed my account I was told I had a credit due me in the amount of approx $91....but I wouldn't receive it until I returned their equipment which makes sense. Okay I returned their equipment and later was informed I still had an open balance ..ok to close out my dealing with them I told them I'm too tired of Verizon I'll gladly send you a check to End it All...a few weeks later I get a check back from them for overpayment? .90 cents..ok the end , right!....nope now I'm in collections..I tried calling and was transferred 572 times, cutoff 2 times and then transferred to a number no longer valid the recording said...I hope I never here from them again..

FIOS AND CONTRACT SALES PERSONS AT VERIZON STORES - FAILURE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
VERIZON USES CONTRACT SALES PERSONS - NOT TRUTHFUL Sold me "new" cheaper FOIS plan that resulted in higher billing. In attempting to understand what was going the CONTRACT company put me on credit hold, then said I did not qualify and billed me an even higher rate. After repeated attempts to correct the situation, I just went back to my old no contract plan. The contract sales persons at the Willow Grove store (19090) just flat out lie to your face when confronted, one person indicated that my credit was very bad and I was lucky to have service. Unfortunately for the real Verizon and me I have been on direct pay for over 20 years. bunch of thieves

I don't know anymore where / how to pay bills. Everything was nicely organized in Verizon. Now all I see are ads that don't matter -- no "PAY MY BILL" option. Who did this formatting of the online accounts and omitted the fact that payments are more important than spam ads on the page...? I am waiting right now for someone to reply at Frontier. No, going online to pay is not more convenient at this time, there should be a pre-set 'PAY BILL" option largely visible on the website the way it was for Verizon.

Verizon Customer Care Review from Casper, Wyoming

Terrible customer service! The "manager" of Verizon on CY in Casper, WY, accused my husband of being a hostile customer. They were unable to answer questions on our account without seeing a copy of our contract because it was purchased through Sams. Allison, the so called manager, was way out of line and accusatory. I work in retail and required to treat every customer with dignity. As soon as our contract is fulfilled, we will no longer use Verizon as our provider.
