Has anyone else had trouble removing Verizon cloud from their account? I never approved it being added to my account and I have tried to remove it so many times it is ridiculous. I have tried in the store and they say they removed it and then it's still there. I have call and texted customer service so many times and each time they assure me that they have removed it, but it is still there. When I try to remove it myself, there is an error.
Let me know if anyone else has this same issue and if you were ever able to get it fixed.

My concerns were not resolved. The lines involved are iphones. They automatically have cloud. Verizon cloud is not necessary.
We want to asisst you as much as we can. Please respond to us to the private message we sent you a moment ago so that we can further assist.

Possible explanation: If you are like me, then this "Add on" was added when you switched to a less expensive plan.
tl;dr
Verizon Cloud is not free with all of Verizon's plans. If you switch plans to one that does not have it included as free, then Verizon will add it silently as a "New add-on" on your next bill and start charging you for it on every month following.
Here's the section of my bill where this "New add on" first appeared.
One-time charges and credits -$28.00
Previous plan

New plan

$54.00
New add-on
Verizon Cloud 600 GB (Jun 9 - Jul 5)

Conspiracy theory / voice of dissatisfaction: Now where I feel that Verizon is culpable is that this post was responded to four times by two different Verizon Customer Service reps without admitting to the probable root cause.
I have found posts by other Verizon Customer Service reps from 2017 on this issue:
https://community.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-Cloud/Why-are-they-Charging-for-cloud/td-p/1061857#:~:text=...
"Due to the ever growing high demand for cloud storage, customers on free cloud service are being directed to move to a premium cloud storage for a low price starting at $5.00 a month. This fee does not require a contract and you may cancel at anytime if you find an alternate way to back up your content."
We have two lines. My husband's line is 47 per month and mine was 67. I had recently finished paying off my phone and didnt understand why one line was 20 dollars cheaper. I called Verizon today and was told that when I purchased my phone at Costco in Nov 2022 I agreed to "cloud" service at a fee of 19.99 per month. I cancld that service today. . I also asked for a copy of that agreement and detailed billings for the last two years. Once I have the material I will know whether I really signed up for a service I never knew I had and never used.
I removed the cloud . Bill went down. Now bill back up. Called customer service they said it went down as a credit because I removed it. Now bill has gone back up. They claim they don't see the charge. So it doesn't exist. ??!!
