filing a complaint

I want to file a complaint with Verizon wireless and customer service. This goes back all the way to last year when I brought in my daughters iPhone to one of the Verizon stores to get fixed. We were notified that instead of fixing it one of the lines is due for an upgrade and that's a better option for her to use. Unfortunately, we were never told that the upgrade used wasn't for an iPhone but an android phone. Now going forward to this year in January again being in the Verizon store we were sold on the edge program and that it works better with my account since I have many lines, blah, blah,blah. So now I need to return my daughters old phone. When we did that I was charged almost $300 anyway. After calling for months on end and speaking to over a dozen different customer reps I was finally informed that the charge to my account was based on the wrong phone being returned. And now since January I am still waiting for Verizon to return the iPhone back to me or refund the charges. NOTHING has been done and Verizon has both my money and iPhone.

Every time I contact cs, I am put through the same questions and the same clueless answers that this needs to be investigated. I don't know what else needs to be investigated when its obvious that my phone was delivered to your warehouse, since I have the delivery confirmation, and I my account has been charged.

I need this matter resolved ASAP. I know its meaningless to you that you will lose a customer that's been with Verizon for the last 20 years, but this is really getting out of hand.

They can't return the phone. It has certainly been recycled.

The way it works, if you use Edge to upgrade a line still in contract, the phone under contract must be returned or you will be billed the $300.

SInce you used an upgrade from another line, on which someone was happily still using a working android phone, you didn't return the working android phone, but a different phone.

I Don't know if the returned phone was in excellent condition or not. In either case, the correct phone was not returned in excellent working order. So the $300 charge is legitimate.

THis is why you continue to ask for a fix and it isn't being done. The system is working exactly as your contract agreed.

I understand your frustration. You should have been clearly instructed that the upgrade would require a specific phone to be returned.

No the phone I returned in January was in perfect condition. When I was sold on the edge program in the store the sales clerk was just trying to get an additional sale out of me since I was already in there. My daughters phone had nothing to do with why I was there in the first place. But since there were options on my account the happy so lucky clerk just went with upgrading additional several of my lines. Which included my husbands and my line. All three of us returned the phone and my daughters phone is the one that I was screwed on.

All of this is non sense...you do understand that if the wrong phone was returned whether in good or unsatisfactory condition, if its the wrong phone under contract you are obligated to return it back to me and NOT recycle it. That particular phone doesn't belong to you. OR you charge me, but you cant have both. Therefore, I want either my money back or the phone that was incorrectly shipped and accepted by Verizon.

Just to set the record straight, this is not Verizon service. You are posting to a Customer to customer help forum.

THe phones are sent to a recycling warehouse, aka, a place of no return.

to go back to the issue at hand...

When they say, the wrong phone was returned, they were expecting the android under contract. But you sent them the broken iPhone?

I would love to contact someone knowledgeable at Verizon service. More likely what I want is to file a complaint. Because this matter is getting out of control.

Doesn't everyone answering at Verizon customer service know that ..."The phones are sent to a recycling warehouse, aka, a place of no return"?! Why wasn't I informed of this when I contacted Verizon in February, March, April, May, June?

The android phone that was used under my daughters iPhone is my son's. Originally the sales clerk never mentioned to me that's what is being linked. Who knows now where his phone is. He could have changed it a million times its been almost two years now.
