My wife passed away November 2023. I was so distraught I didn't try to cancel her phone that hadn't been used since then.
I went to a Verizon store in Scranton, Pa to remove the phone. The sales person said he took care of everything and I would see changes on next bill.
Well I did see changes,.
My plan was upgraded on both phones and some kind of overseas option added (I never travel at all)
My bill went from $107 to $194.94.
I spoke to a representative who said she would straighten the bill error out and didn't have to pay 5hat ridicules fraudulent amount.
When I went to pay my hill online later the bill was still $194.94. I called back and the agent wouldn't let me speak she just kept demanding I had to pay that bill and just kept talking and talking not let me get a word in. I had to hang up
Trying to speak to an agent on the phone is practically useless.
I will contact my state's Attorney General and The Better Business Bureau about the practices Verizon uses.

@Richm123, my condolences too for your loss. Private messages are under the little envelope in the top right corner. When you receive a new private message, a number appears over the envelope. Click or tap on the envelope to go to your message inbox, and then it pretty much works like email from there.
I am shocked that a bunch of extra charges and some other plan got added to your account instead, when you'd asked to have a line removed. If you can't get it straightened out with Verizon, I'd file a complaint with an outside agency. Good luck and may you have the support of loved ones and good friends during this time.
I'm not a Verizon employee, just another customer trying to help.

I’ve been over charged for the past 6 months. Last response was they were going to credit my account but they keep charging me more every month. I was supposed to get a call from the representative who said, they didn’t know why I being billed so much and would credit my account. Every month is the same thing and no solutions
