Description of complaint:Title: Extremely Disappointing Experience with Verizon Salesperson Ron Location: 3330 lithia Pinecrest rd Valrico FL 33596 1/29/24 date order placed store visit 1/30/24 denied return store visit 1/31 store cisit 2/1 store visit 2/5 store visit As a long-time customer of Verizon, I have always expected a certain level of professionalism and integrity from their sales staff. However, my recent encounter with Ron at the Verizon store has left me utterly disillusioned and disgusted. My parents, who are not particularly tech-savvy, were swindled by Ron into purchasing a plan that they were not fully aware of, solely for his own commission gains. He deceitfully added three additional lines and two extra phones to their account without their consent or knowledge. Our attempts to rectify this egregious situation were met with nothing but frustration and incompetence. We were forced to visit the store on six separate occasions, where both Ron and another representative named Cathy continuously denied any wrongdoing and claimed there was no possibility of returning or exchanging the phones, despite clear evidence to the contrary. Furthermore, Ron's lack of basic customer service skills was evident in his failure to transfer any of the data or assist with backing up the phones, leaving us to deal with multiple errors and issues on our own. In summary, the level of deceit and incompetence displayed by Ron at this Verizon store is unacceptable. Customers should be able to trust that they are being provided with accurate information and fair treatment, not manipulated for the sole benefit of a salesperson's commission. Verizon needs to address this issue promptly and ensure that their sales staff are held to higher standards of honesty and professionalism.
Desired settlement:In light of the egregious mishandling of our account by Verizon, I would like to outline the desired resolution and compensation: 1. Immediate removal of the unauthorized phones and lines from our account, with the option for either return or exchange within the 30-day timeframe, as stipulated by Verizon's policies. 2. As a gesture of goodwill and acknowledgment of the inconvenience and frustration caused by this ordeal, I request five months of complimentary service for our account, provided we choose to retain it. This compensation is essential to restoring a semblance of trust in Verizon's services and mitigating the significant inconvenience and dissatisfaction we have experienced. It is imperative that Verizon addresses these issues promptly and comprehensively to salvage any remaining loyalty from customers like myself. Failure to do so will only serve to reinforce the negative perception of Verizon's customer service and integrity, and I will be compelled to share my profoundly disappointing experience with others through various channels, including but not limited to the Better Business Bureau, Google, Yelp, Verizon's own website, and social media platforms such as Twitter. I trust that Verizon will take swift and decisive action to rectify these matters and restore faith in its brand among disillusioned customers.; In addition to the outlined resolution and compensation, I request the following: 1. Direct communication from the regional manager responsible for overseeing Ron's branch to inform me personally once the issues have been fully resolved. This direct communication is crucial to ensure transparency and accountability within Verizon's management structure. 2. Assurance that appropriate disciplinary action has been taken against Ron to hold him accountable for his unethical behavior, lack of customer service skills, and overall negative impact on customer experience. It is imperative that Verizon takes decisive measures to address personnel issues and uphold standards of professionalism and integrity within its workforce. These additional measures are essential to restoring trust and confidence in Verizon's commitment to customer satisfaction and ethical business practices. I eagerly await confirmation that these requests will be addressed promptly and comprehensively read more
