Here we go again, below is an email I sent you back in March of 2012 about the extremely poor customer service that Verizon seems to consistently offers its customers. the email was sent to William {edited for privacy}.
On Saturday morning I woke up to find my internet and cable service was out. I called for service and the woman I spoke with again had a difficult time finding my account. after she was able to locate my account, she did attempt to help me get my service up and running. we were unable to do so. so she indicated that she would put in a service call for a repair man to come to my home. She told me the waiting window was from 8:00 am to 9:30 pm. This in itself is a ridicules time window 13 hours. I explained I had some volunteer work to do that day and I would not be home until after 4:30 and she told me that she would mark the ticket to indicate that. While I was doing the volunteer work, I had received a telephone message from “peter” telling me he was going to be at my house at 2:00pm. I received this message and called the service number to remind them that I would not be home at that time. Again it too 10 minutes to find my account, and the person I was speaking to told me he would check with dispatch and call me back.. I had finished my work earlier than expected and headed home. I then received a phone call back telling me that the repair man would be at my house at 3:30.
At 4:00 I called service again because I have not seen the repair man. I talked to a man named Kyle, who with my name, address, telephone number (a Verizon cell phone) and service ticket number too 15 minutes to find my account. After he found my account, he told me that the service man is scheduled between 4:30 and 9:30 to come to my house. I asked him to talk to someone to narrow down the time a little bit as I was told it would be 3:30 and that 5 hour window was ludicrous. he told me he could not. I asked to speak to his boss.
Dennis was the boss’ name, he told me he was going to call dispatch and “get to the bottom” of this. He called me back, only to tell me that there would be no repair man coming to my house because it was not scheduled and they do not have anyone available to send. I told him that my call was given to a tech as I was told two specific times that he was going to be there. He said that the dispatcher did not log my call correctly and that there was nothing that could be done, I would have to way until the next day for repair service. Imagine that, I called at 5:46 am for service and I cannot receive service for more than 24 hours.
So once again like back in March of 2012 I had to waste hours of my time, and on Saturday and Sunday 1 hour and 45 minutes of my air time on my Verizon cell phone to attempt to obtain something the even resembles good customer service.
Today I went online to the “chat” service and talked to someone in India, Dyvia, I explained I wanted to file a complaint, she told me that she to transfer me to “billing”. Robert in billing told me he could not help me as he had to transfer me to technical Support. Jagannath told me he could not help and that I could go to
https://www22.verizon.com/Content/ContactUs/EmailUs/emailus.htm to file a complaint. That site does not have dropdowns for complaints. while he was looking for some alternative I called back to the technical service number to try to obtain the corporate headquarters number. again they could not find my account and I said you do not need my account to give me a phone number. they reluctantly gave me the number. I called
{edited for privacy} ended up speaking with Ms. DelGado, who listened to my complaint, and told me that she would have someone call me tomorrow.
tonight at 8:53pm I received a phone call, by the time I got to the phone it had gone to voice mail. it was someone named “Celeste” I think, she was not very clear and spoke too fast for voice mail. she told me that she would update my account so that service technicians would be able to find my account if I ever call. While this may be all well and good, this is the same thing you did for me in 2012 and I am still having this problem.
This “fix” does not go far enough, I feel that Verizon owes me for my wasted time and my cell phone minutes and I want to know what Verizon is going to do about it. I spend a lot of money on my Verizon services, and I want and expect to receive good customer service. I do not think it is too much to ask for that a company can at least fine my account, but they MUST be able to provide prompt service calls.
When you have had a chance to research this please contact me by email and let me know how Verizon is going to handle this. Xfinity is looking better and better
Thank you

PRIOR EMAIL FROM MARCH 2012
William
Thank you for taking the time to talk to my this morning. I wanted to let you know that my situation has still not been resolved.
After Spending 35 minutes one night and was promised my box would be shipped to my office and be delivered on Tuesday, it was not
The second time I called spending 55 minutes on the phone, Kelvin assured me that UPS would deliver the box to my office on Wednesday, he assured me! Well here it is 7:15 pm on Wednesday and I still do not have the replacement box. Totally wasted an hour and a half on the phone.
As I told you earlier today, I am totally shocked at the lack of service I have been receiving, and this just goes to prove the point. today when I called and asked to speak to a supervisor it took 20 minutes to get to you, because they can NEVER find my account, my phone # which is a Verizon cell phone, the only phone I have cannot,. for some reason be linked to my account. (I called one night and they could not find my account even though I was giving them my account # from online. some people complain they are only a number to big companies, seems I am not even a number to this company.)
You told me today that you would personally handle any issues I have with Verizon, so I am asking you now to fix this problem, and have my new box delivered. I have to tell you I am really considering moving my accounts to Comcast. I spend a lot of money on my FIOS PHONE and Internet services with your company, and I feel that it is not appreciated by Verizon.
I am looking forward to your assisting me, and hopefully saving me as a customer.
