I need to have a returned item removed from my bill

Hello,

I need help resolving a billing issue I have dealt with for the past year. 

In early 2015 I became a Verizon FiOS customer and rented a Quantum Gateway Router.  In November of 2015 a friend of mine gave me his old Verizon Router as he had recently upgraded.  The old Verizon router he gave me was an Actiontec MI424WR.  I switched out the rental Quantum Gateway router for that one and I realized that for my limited needs, it worked fine.  So I returned the Quantum Gateway router to Verizon.  According to my UPS tracking number, that package was received by Verizon on Wednesday, 11/18/2015.  However, I am still being charged monthly for this!

In the middle of February 2016 I reached out to Verizon Chat and was told that they saw that the router was returned in November and that it just hadn’t finished processing yet.

I reached out again towards the end of April 2016 and was told that again, the rep saw that the router was returned in march, and so the rep then credited me back the charges for January, February, March, and April.  The router however was still on my bill.

I reached out again to Verizon chat at the end August 2016.  I was told that the rep could remove the router from my account, but he would need the serial number of the router I was currently using (the one I got from my friend).  Unfortunately, I did not have it on me at the time.  I chatted back the very next day on August 31st 2016 and was told I didn’t need the serial number of the new router and that it was very simple to just remove the rental router from my bill.  This time the rep also credited me for 3 months.  (I am assuming the 3 months was for May, June, and July, but I'm not sure.)

The last time I reached out via Verizon Chat was on September 13th 2016.  This time the rep told me they had submitted a ticket to have the rental removed and that it should only take up to 5 business days to process.

Needless to say it still has not been removed from my Bill.

Is there anyone who can direct me on what I can do to get this issue resolved?

I have the tracking code of the returned router, the serial of the current router I am using that came from my friend, and copies of all of the chats I’ve had with Verizon Support.  I would greatly appreciate getting that item removed from my bill and the rest of the faulty charges from August to now credited back to me.

Thank you,
