Activation fee

Hello, I was in a Verizon contract at my prior home. I recently relocated for a job move, and decided to transfer Verizon over to this home (despite my past year of documented issues with them). I called to transfer my service, I was told I could carry over my different area code to the new location it's part of Fios. Great I said. I just received my bill, and there is a $5 charge for that! Never infirmed of that during the sale, I would have rather just started with a local area code.
Next, I ordered one standard box, one HD box, and one HD DVR box. I was installed two standard (non hd) boxes and one DVR box, yet I am being charged for the HD box I never received.
Lastly, I was already in a contract with Verizon at my old home. Yet, I am being charged a $69 activation fee at the new location. Previously, I was told I could call and have that waived upon receiving my first bill. I called, and was told that is not possible.
Again, Verizon is full of miscommunication and the right hand does not know what the left is doing.

So I spoke with a Verizon rep Sunday who said they are working on my incorrect bill (HD box I do not have, pick your own area code, and activation fee not waived). It is Tuesday, still no adjustments to my bill, and no word from Verizon. Honestly, I would like to pay my (correct) bill.

Hello. Please see my 1/7 post. I was incorrectly being charged for an HD box. My home has 2 SD boxes and 1 DVR. This was confirmed by Verizon in that post, and they removed the charge. In fact, they assured me I would not see that charge any longer. Now, I just checked my latest bill, and the $11.99 charge for the HD box is there again.

Please correct this asap so I can pay my bill. I posted one of verizons notes below, confirming this.

Thanks. Erin
