Billing & Credit Report Dispute

I have been trying to get my Verizon nightmare solved since October 2013.

I called ahead of my medical move to Santa Monica to establish residential home phone service. My lease did not start until October 1st. Verizon started service a month early when I wasn't even there. The building manager let no one in, including me until the start of the lease. When I called multiple times to complain about the charges for that month I was only given a "discount". I shouldn't have had to pay anything. This was clearly a Verizon mistake.

When I had to pay for services I couldn't receive I just decided to cancel the service.

In total I had residential phone service for 5 days ONLY.

My account was on autopay.

After my final bill I received a refund check for overpayment.

My account had a zero balance.

THEN somehow I got a bill for $ 147.00 with a line at the bottom that if I didn't pay it I'd be in COLLECTIONS.

I had an excellent credit rating. I had NEVER been in collections.

So to avoid that, even though I knew it was wrong, I paid it.

For 5 days of phone service I PAID A LOT OF MONEY, had and still have LOTS OF AGGRAVATION and STILL they ruined my credit rating by sending me to COLLECTIONS for no reason. I am on disability and this is impacting my illness.

PLEASE HELP ME AND FIX THIS. Sabra Hitchcock

Like many on this forum, we too have a credit report reporting dispute with Verizon for erronously reporting to the credit agencies regarding our former account. We tried disputing the reporting through the credit agencies to include providing the tracking number and date the equipment was recieved by Verizon, yet Verizon continues to report the account as "being in collection" status. We don't understand why this continues to be errounously reported. We've tried to email technical support staff option but this issue does not fit the choice of pull down options so we used the more general "product questons" option. Since that option also doesn't fit our case, we suspect no action will result from the "Contact us by Email" should you need help option. Please HELP, by getting us in touch with someone who can help clear the account for the long term and restore the credit report to its proper status..

I am not sure how anyone tried to reach me, but there has NOT been any messages posted in the private messages. I have been checking everyday based on the moderator's comments above. As such, the issue is still open and needs to be resolved.
