I have read several posts on this forum regarding "Special Projects Billing" statments from "Verizon c/o Claim Dept". I, too, have received such a bill. Mine is for $344.07. I had to have the fios cable repaired when I accidentally severed the line when attempted to transplant grass in my yard. My shovel went down just far enough to get below the root line of my sod in order to prepare a garden bed and then transplant the grass. When the first repair man came out, he just laid a new cable on top of the yard and said someone would come later and bury the cable. I asked him if the cable could be buried via a different route and he said yes and he ran the cable the direction I asked him to run it. When the subsequent crew came out, they completely ignored the new run and ran the new cable almost exactly the same path as the old one. I remember asking the same thing when I had FIOS first installed and the bury crew again ignored the my directions.
Bottom line, I do not believe I am liable for this $344.07 repair bill. The only place I can find any possible resolution is on this forum. There is not an appropriate avenue on the "Contact Us" portion of the website.
Thank you to anyone who can help.

I have been reading the forums regarding "Special Projects Billing" statments from "Verizon c/o Claim Dept". I have received a bill from a debt collector named CMR (Claims Management Resources) in the amount of $351.17. I have called several departments (including corporate, who I never heard from) and everyone I talk to can't seem to find out where this bill originated. I am trying to understand why I owe money to a debt collector if I have a current Verizon internet account that has a zero balance, and I got no notices from any department within Verizon notifying me that I owed them any amount of money.
I do, however know what this charge is about, but I was told by a verizon representitive that I would not be liable for charges. The incident happened as follows:
I had to have the fios cable repaired whenmy dog dug up the wire and chewed in up, severing the cable. (The cable was buried about 3 inches deep, way too shallow.) When the first repair man came out, he just laid a new cable on top of the yard and said someone would come later and bury the cable. I asked him if the cable could be buried via a different route and he said yes and he ran the cable the direction I asked him to run it. When the subsequent crew came out, they completely ignored the new run and ran the new cable almost exactly the same path as the old one. I remember asking the same thing when I had FIOS first installed and the bury crew again ignored the my directions.
Bottom line, I do not believe I am liable for this $351.17 repair bill. The only place I can find any possible resolution is on this forum. There is not an appropriate avenue on the "Contact Us" portion of the website. I have exhausted all options I know of contacting Verizon and CMR. PLEASE HELP!!!
