Unresolved billing issues for 8 months!

[Cshopcoup1007]

I am at a complete lost and have NEVER had this kind of issue with any other company before!  I had a problem with a dvr box that I had for maybe a month back in March of last year. They sent me a box and I had to return the old one.  Lucky for me I saved the ups tracking number because I've learned the hard way.  I knew the box had been received by the return department because I tracked it. On my next bill I had a $300.00 fee for not returning the box. And so it began.  I have spent countless hours on the phone for the past 8 months trying to get my bill corrected.  The first call I made I was told it takes 2-3 months to get an issue like that off of your bill.  That's funny because it sure doesn't take them 2-3 months to put it on your bill.  I made calls to Verizon for the next few months only to be told each time it would be taken care of. Then in October I get a letter saying my service is going to be disconnected because I hadn't paid for the charge of the box that even someone at Verizon CONFIRMED that they did receive it back. I finally, in October, got to a person in the escalation department who seemed legit and that was going to take care of getting my account straight.  My account STILL is not straight and I have been unable to get a response from this person via email and the direct phone number I had for them has rang busy for the past week.   Let me say again that I have NEVER had a problem of this magnitude with any other company.  I am ready to take this to my local TV station that does segments on problems of this sort that companies won't resolve.b not to mention when anyone I know ask for recommendations on tv,Internet,cell phone etc I tell them DO NOT go with Verizon.  It has been the worse nightmare for me.  After reading others complaints on here I thought I should share my experience hoping to save others from this nightmare I can't seem to get taken care of
