I would give negative stars if I could. Beware of fraud committed by Verizon using shady manipulation of their system to extract extra funds from customers for their profits. Verizon denied my access to my account immediately after I switched my phone service to TMobile. Verizon then reconnected, disconnected, changed plans, reconnected, and disconnected my account, and charged me without any instruction from me.
On February 20, 2024, my family and I terminated our services with Verizon and switched to TMobile. The next day, I went to my Verizon account online to see if I still had unfinished business with Verizon. Verizon denied my access. Therefore, I was not able to look at the detailed breakdown on the website and settle any business with Verizon
Afterward, I received some confusing DISCONNECT WARNING letters from Verizon, which threatened to permanently disconnect my account if the past due balance was not paid. Since my intention was to disconnect my account, so I did not pay. Yet I continued to receive these DISCONNECT WARNING letters with increasing charges and late fees. Therefore, I paid two bills ($71.69 and $78.50) even though I had no idea how these bills came about. Interestingly, I received more bills with more charges. Subsequently, I contacted Verizon via phone on Thursday, September 5, 2024. The representative, Christina, explained that TMobile never transferred the iPad line over from Verizon to TMobile. TMobile only set up another line for me. She also explained to me that in May, my line was reconnected because I paid and the plan was changed. she also said that in June, the line was disconnected and reconnected! In short, Verizon still sent me a bill, insisting that I have to pay $110.60.
I wrote Verizon twice. One on September 21, 2024, with all the detailed twists and turns of the event. Another letter was written on October 5, 2024. What Verizon did was to put a "collection" on my credit card score. That is how Verizon extracted extra money from their customers. They could extract millions of dollars if they extract $80 extra from customers around the country. read more
