CUSTOMER COMPLAINT

Hello

I am the type of caller who is very sympathetic to customer service reps (especially those in the billing department) because I run a business that deals with inebriated, rude, and unreasonable customers on a nightly basis. As a result, I always try my best to go out of my way to be extremely friendly and bubbly so that the rep can atleast have a pleasant phone call with me.

I've called Verizon every day this week and spoke with multiple representatives from {edited for privacy} at the fraud claims department, Brian at the Billing department, and Rachel at the Fraud credits department. Despite the many transfers, I found all of the representatives listed above to be very lovely to speak to and they were extremely courteous and helpful.

The reason for my entry is because I just got off the phone call with {edited for privacy} at the billing department and she was extremely rude. (She refused to give me her full last name and said it was a small enough office for Verizon to know who I am referring to). I was not disputing charges or arguing anything with her, just had a very general question about our bill. Before she would even let me explain the reason for my call, she was extremely short, exacerbated, and hostile. I can assure you that I was having a very pleasant Friday until my phone conversation with her and considering there was no dispute or any contentious subject, I found her negative attitude to be absolutely unacceptable.

Once again, I started the call in a terrific mood and a desire to wish this person a nice weekend, but my conversation with{edited for privacy}ruined my mood and my Friday. We have a business account with Verizon and my experience with Karen A. has been very discouraging.

I wanted to bring this to your attention because just a few weeks ago, one of our high profile clients with a good social media following, had a similar experience with a customer service rep and fervently vocalized her complaint on social media.

Thank you for your consideration.
