FRAUD Alert!!!

Been with verizon phone servicesince 1998 & DSL since 2005; always paid my bills on time. My current  apartment building accepted  FIOS wiring 2-yrs ago. I was visted by 2 Verizon/Fios salesmen who induced me to switch to Fios with promises of credits & that it wouldn't cost more than $5-$10 more than I was paying for DSL & phone.. OK, so far sounds good. I'm a senior & a lifeline customer (federal & state credits for low income). I was promised my FIOS double-play phone & internet would'nt cost much more than I was paying (maybe $40-mo.) I signed 2-yr commitment; my costs sloowly ncrease within 2-mos of signing, up to $69-mo. I call & get an $5 credit restored, but as costs rise I get double costs as 1st-yr committment ends. CS explains the credits expired, the 2nd year is different--NO CREDITS, no specials, nada, nothing! Sure, yeah, that's why you sign a 2-yr contract to pay more in 2nd yr, right?'' Now my 2yrs are ending...think I can keep my $74-mo deal... NO! Either I renew for $85 (with $5 credit), or I'll suffer consquences & pay $90-mo.I request Verizon match my current costs without a contrat. I want to restore my RELIABLE wire landline (needed for emerrgecy responders, among other things crucial for seniors--& people living in areas where electric outages are common!) but I learn they disabled incoming wire & get blown off by FIOS CS. They claim they're not aware of Federal Lifeline program, I should call their special CS# . Rude & dismissive is an overstattemt. Than I chat online, but no cigar! What about the legaity of maintaining basic service for seniors? CS says No way--essentially you get nothing for being a long-time customer, so forget it, we're not budging!  What's wrong with this picture?

Hello FIOS, Bait & Switch is illegal, Lifeline credits insure EVERYONE get basic phone services. California Public Utilities Commission, are you listening?

Sorry we could not do anything at this time due to the credits still on your account. We'll have to wait until they expire by the end of the year.  If you hit any other roadblocks in December, come back here and make a new thread. We have closed your private support case.

JOSE, as of Jan 2014 my costs for simple double-play have risen substantially & there's no excuse for this, especially as I had previously indicated that I cant afford it.what can you do?
