$49.99 Activation Fee Ripoff!!!

rmastra63

Hello,

I recently became a Verizon customer because of the bundle deal offered over the holidays. To purchase the Triple-Play bundle, I had everything ready to in my shopping cart online on the Verizon website. The website clearly indicated the FIOS activation fee was being waived (free). Before placing the order, I called the Verizon service line with a question. While on the phone, the representative offered to place the order for me. I didn't see a reason not to so I agreed to have her place the order for me. I am now being charged a $49.99 activation fee. When I called to inquire, I was told I am being charged the $50 fee because I didn't place the order online!!

Further more, during the call to inquire, when I realized the representative was not going to resolve my issue, I asked to speak to a supervisor. I was told that was not possible.

How do I get this matter resolved? I absolutely feel I should not be charged the $50 activation fee since the original representative never told me that allowing her to place the order versus clicking the submit button was going to cost me $50!

Thanks,

Unhappy Customer
