Where to dispute billing charges?

I had a bundled account with Verizon and Direct TV and recently cancelled everything.  I've had nothing but problems with Verizon "customer service" and haven't ever been able to get clear answers on billing questions.  I expected some charges to be sent back to DTV, but not $186.00.  No one has been able to clearly give me a detailed answer on where or when or any info for that matter.  Talked to someone yesterday while on the line with DTV and got pulled in circles with repetitive info of the billing amounts.  When I actually added up DTV charges, the person had no idea of what I was talking about.  It ended with me spending 2 1/2 hours with DTV trying to get an address of who to dispute charges with because Verizon doesn't care now that the charges have been sent back.  All they care about is the amount I now owe them.  I would like to know where I can write to so that I can dispute these charges and possibly get a detailed answer of where all this money came from.  I admit I owe some of it, but not I do not believe all of it.  I'm done talking to "customer service" since all I get is angry since no one can intelligently tell me this is from this date, this is from here.....  I had a nervous breakdown yesterday and I'm not doing it again.

I needed time to calm down and honestly see some doctors for medical issues.  I should still be able to use the information given to me rather than having to repost it all over again.  This frustrates even more.  This whole issue has been too hard for me mentally.

I was never told it was reopened!!!!!!  All I got was I will ask for it to be reopened. I've been checking this every day looking for a response saying if it would be or not.  I believe this was done on purpose to run me in circles and I'm not gonna do that.  Reopen it and let me know or I'm just going to the BBB.

You can complain until you are blue in the face and Verizon will do nothing and force you to pay monies they believe you owe even if you say you don't owe it.  I think you should do what I am going to do and report them to BBB and The department of consumer affairs.

It may come to that and DTV, because they can't give a true statement, like a bank statement, about the charges and DTV just took the charges, no questions aked so they even begin to try.  I just had to do that with Radio Shack and have no problem doing it with these 2 if I don't get an answer soon.

I am unable to resolve a billing dispute by calling the 800 number for verizon.  This process is incredibly frustrating and I've spent several hours at this point trying to resolve my dispute.  Long story short is that Verizon agreed to a $20 a month manual credit to  my account for being a "Valued Verizon Customer".  THe first two months were not credited so I called in October and they gave me the credit.  They also told me I would have to call monthly to get the credit as it is a  manual adjustment.  I called today and the customer service agent and supervisor tells me they don't see the information in the system to support giving me a credit.  I have the email confirmations but they tell me they cannot receive emails.  So, what am I supposed to do to resolve this issue?

Hello:

I just received my bill and notice it is approximately $20 higher again - total is $206.32.  I am trying to understand why the $20 credit was removed once again.  Thanks

Hello: I received a message from josh asking if I viewed my bill online. There was no option for me to reply to Josh's message. I did not view the bill online as I received a hard copy. The bill has been fine for several months in the hard copy format so not sure why I need to view it online at this point. Please unlock the other message thread so I can reply. Thanks
