Misleading technician charges

Dariarkennedy

I scheduled my service to be transferred when I moved. Instead of a technician, they sent me a self-install kit. I followed the directions but the TV wasn't working. I called tech support who was useless and scheduled a technician to come out. The technician fixed the problem which was wiring in the main box left by the previous tenants. I signed nothing and he didn't state anything about being charged. A month later I get a bill for $120. I called and they stated because I didn't have a maintenance plan I was charged for the repair. Ummm hello it was not my box that needed repair?!! I only lived there one day how can I be responsible?!! I spoke to a supervisor who advised me to bill my landlord!! Yeah ok! I was mislead by Verizon, I spoke to 2 workers who never mentioned the sneaky charges! I am furious and was given an escalation address to write too, which I did because I should ever have been charged for equipment that I never touched! It's illegal to charge without my signature and I will not stop until the entire charge is credited.
