Charged for discontinued TV service but retained internet service

croberts1

I called and cancelled my FIOS TV service on 10/31, but retained my internet service.

I noticed the next day that I was still going to be billed for FIOS TV service from 11/4. I called and was assured that it would be corrected and that my account would also be credited for 11/1 to 11/3 and to check my online statement after 48 hours.

Once again, the account wasn't updated so I called again. This time I was told that the agent had scheduled the cancellation for 11/10, but this time my account would be properly corrected and credited after 11/10.

I checked on 11/11 to find that nothing had changed. This time my wife called and was told it would be corrected within 24 hours.

Having checked again, I found that the account had been credited, but I was still to be charged $190 FOR A SERVICE THAT I HAD CANCELLED AND WAS NOT EVEN RECEIVING DURING NOVEMBER. Furthermore I have already returned the equipment and received confirmation that it had been received by Verizon.

I called again yesterday but this time was told by the agent ("Samantha") that there was nothing she could do and that I would have to pay the $190 and that I would be credited on my bill in December. She also said she was sorry that I had been "lied to" (her words) by the other agents and could not explain to me why I had been told on four previous calls that this would be resolved. She could also not explain why, having cancelled service on 10/31 I was to be charged for the month on November.

It is completely unacceptable that I would be charged for service in November that I cancelled in October. My reading of the situation is that the first Verizon agent I spoke to incorrectly scheduled the cancellation for 11/10 and as such I have to pay for her mistake.

Please correct this before you take $190 from my account. I will seriously have to consider whether I should continue using Verizon services at all
