Scam and lies
I could write a book on my travails with Verizon's customer service. As brief as I can: It all started when my (very) small business needed to switch from a residential DSL account to a business account. It took nearly a week for me to get my service connected, this is for my BUSINESS, my lively hood, and no one particularly cared who had a reason or solution as to why they could not turn it on, after me calling several days in a row.

Of course it's nearly impossible to get to the person you need to speak to through the automated phone menus. I found that if you go to Billing, and not tech support, you get someone who can think and react without reading a script.

Everthing's fine, until we move. Now we have DSL and Phone service with them. I call to have them turn off my DSL on Fri that we move. They turn it off imediately (Mon). Of course it takes 1 minute to turn it off but a week to setup. So they give me dial-up access for the week. Which I never used.

Then I call to have my Phone service disconnected and reconnected at the new location on Fri as well. Well at 6am Fri morning the phone service is disconnected. I wait all day for connection at 4:45pm I call to ask where my phone service is. I am told there was a techinical problem and they needed something and will do ASAP. Knowing it's Friday, I say so I won't have phone until Mon? WEll since we missed the deadline we'll try to get it up and we'll call you. So noon on Mon. I see the guy drive up and connect the cables and drive away. They just didn't feel it was important to get to my house on Fri. No they never called me.

Next I get my final DSL bill. Here they charged me for the dial-up service at the old a address-for an entire month. Of course everytime I go through automated hell, and they can't tell if I'm a residential or business customer and transfer and transfer an hour later someone thinks they can help me. Yes I did call to cancel my dial-up that I should have never been charged for due to their mistake. Ok I'm told the bill is zeroed out. Next month, same thing now I've been charged for 2 months of dial-up. 3 months later I get it resolved.

I tried to find another phone provider but I don't have any in my area. Oh and get this I was told there's no DSL service where I moved, but the previous owner tells me she had it. Fine with me no more Verizon DSL. THen last time I called CS about a bill they try to sell me Verizon Wireless-NO THANKS!

Verizon disconnected my account in error.
I cannot work for over the week since Wednesday, November 25th, 2009, because Verizon disconnected my Verizon High Speed Internet for Business Service in error.
Verizon had provided TWO accounts the same phone number. This went undetected because the phone number was servicing both my modem and another customer’s land-line. Then, this other customer failed to pay his bills and, eventually, his service was shut off the phone line in which also shut down my connection being we were sharing the same phone number.
Verizon has no idea how and why this situation occurred. They promised the connection would be restored Friday night or early Saturday which did not happened. I was notified the order is placed but because of the department being closed on Thanksgiving and on Friday the order was pending and not fulfilled. They guaranteed me that first thing on Monday it will be expedited and service fully restored on that same day. Also Ashlee, the Verizon Customer Service Supervisor, said she would call me back on Monday to keep me updated every step of the process. Apparently, the supervisors from Verizon have a short memory: one of the supervisors forgot to place an order of the new line on time and other supervisors forgot to call me back numerous times.
On Monday, November 30th, 2009, Antuanne, a supervisor at Verizon, informed me that I have the Internet but there is a problem with a lose wired that will be fixed on Tuesday morning. On Tuesday, December 1st, 2009, I was informed that someone will fix the problem during a day - yes, someone tried to do it at the end of the day but they wired it incorrectly. On Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009, I cannot work because Verizon is still working on the problem for the whole day and I should wait until Thursday...
Today, Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009, the connection is not restored yet. I spend numerous hours on the phone with Verizon daily. Every time I am promised that I will have service today or early morning. Apparently, I still have no Internet and cannot work.
Verizon failed to provide service as it was agreed. Also, Verizon failed to provide a good customer service. Finally, every time Verizon supervisors provide different excuses why I have no Internet and promise to fix the problem during a day; however, no promises had been fulfilled so far and I still cannot work.

Fraud billing and refusal to credit account
As usual verizon tries to wait out the customer after my last round of fraud with them Here we go again!! I moved and the building I moved into was not ready for phone service for a month later, however theynot only charged me but they charged me for a different plan and individul services and every time I called to get the plan Ive had before they said they would fix it of course they didnt one girl even told me I had to have that plan, the next one told me that it was the same plan, When I tried to explain that there was no service, the woman told me to call repair, there was nothing to repair, I know they will try to rip you off, just call the attorney general. they want me to pay twice my bill not!

Promotional Gift
To whom it may concern:

I am contacting Verizon for my grandparents who at this time are very upset with the level of customer service they have received. They have been loyal customers since 01-09-07 and they have yet to be provided with the complete service promised to them and their promotional gift. My family and I whom all reside separately have since subscribed to FIOS on the recommendation of my grandfather. It is not fair to him that he is being treated this way after he gave Verizon such rave reviews with his family.

When my grandfather signed up for his service he was promised a digital camera as a promotional gift. My grandfather has called several times in reference to this camera and has yet to be provided with the camera. Instead of his promotional gift my grandfather has been given the run around by representatives time and time again for the last two years. I would like to know how we are going to resolve this issue and in a timely manner it has dragged on long enough.

Sincerely,
L. Tate

High Speed Internet
Verizon High Speed Internet was attached to my computer. I came home and cut the computer on and it said Verizon is defragmenting. I figured it was the Security Suite from Verizon. Then when it was finished I could not get onto my desktop. When I shutdown the computer it would not let me back onto the desktop. I call Tech Support and they could not help me. Then I tried the PC Care that I had requested thru Verizon. No one would help me until it was fixed. They said it was Microsofts problem to call them. I did call them and they were going to try to help me for a fee. I ask them to wait because Verizon broke my computer how I don't know. I called Verizon repeatedly and they would seem to try to help me an then I would get cut off or transferred from person to person who could not help me. I asked could someone come out they would cut me off and not call me back. This went on for weeks until I just gave up. From September 3, 2009 when I first started installation and now it is November 24, 2009 and they want me to pay for internet I don't have a computer. I have only used the internet about 3 weeks or less. My account is cancelled and now I have a bill for no service. Verizon did not keep their word and they have broken my computer that has aleast nine years of my work on it. I don't know if it is lost or what. I do not have a computer to use and I am in two schools where I need to do term papers. This is a mess. I hope someone can help me. Verizon is a large company they should not let this happen to their customers.

Third Party Billing
Every few months Verizon adds on 'other providers' to the business phone bill; needless to say without any permissions from the account holder. This month they added 2 charges of $49.99 each from ILD teleservices for some bogus operation called "Contact Msg Mthly Fee".
Verizon phone reps are chosen (I'm guessing) for their extraordinary ability to soothe even the most frustrated customer complaints, and will always remove the charges and service when requested. However the whole business of adding on 3rd party provider charges when they are not requested and totally undesired smacks of fraud. I would guess plenty of people never notice the extra charges. Coincidentally (or not) I just reduced my bill by getting rid of 2 800 numbers.
My questions are :
"Who gave Verizon permission to tack on any 3rd party service provider they feel like to my bill?"
If I tried that stunt with my customers without their knowledge or permission I suspect they would have a screaming fit.
Are there any class action lawsuits pending which will at least discourage Verizon from this sleazy practice? I see there is one for wireless data customers who are getting billed $1.99 any time they hit a data button on the phone.

Non-English speaker gave incorrect instructions that led to huge phone bill
I started a new business, but haven't made any money yet. From July 12-August 2, 2008, I rented a cottage on Cape Cod. I had rented that house continually since 2001. The house only has dial up service. I called the Verizon number listed on the website for dial up information so that I could use my laptop to receive email and do research for work. The customer service person was obviously Indian although he used an American name John. John couldn’t understand what I was asking for. There was no supervisor on duty. Finally, after two rounds of John leaving me on hold, he came back and gave me a phone number. The number was in the next town. It seemed reasonable to me, and I linked up the computer daily to that number. In the past, each fall after I rented that cottage, the rental co. sent me a bill for $30 to 40, which was similar to bill for all previous years. I’ve always had a number to link to that was in another town.

In August, I received a call from the Rental company that the owner of the cottage had received a bill for $929.89! Of course, the owner Mrs. X was very upset, but she paid the bill, and expects me to pay her back. I was astounded by the amount of the bill, which I was sure was a mistake. I called Verizon customer service. I talked to a supervisor, and she talked with someone and was able to deduct half of the bill, which was supposed to be refunded to Mrs. X. However, Verizon put the refund as a credit on her bill. I was still concerned about the remainder of the huge bill, and asked her for the information for customer service. I have called and written several times. I still owe over $400 to Mrs. X, and I have lost use of the house.
