how to reach someone at Verizon to remove a device from lost or stolen device registry

Can anyone at Verizon remove my iWatch from the lost or stolen Device Registry?  I have spoken on the phone with customer service and been to two different local Verizon stores with no success.  I own the watch, have always owned it, it has always been in my possession.  It used to be on our Verizon mobile account but when we changed providers I did not activate the iwatch with the new provider.  For some reason Verizon decided without contacting me to report the iWatch as lost or stolen which it never has been.  I have documentation.  Help.

We hate to hear your device was reported in error. I will send you a private message so we can further discuss the next steps to get your watch removed.

hi - With help from Verizon customer service here I was sent back to a local Verizon store where I spent 3 hours mostly on the phone with Verizon customer service then finally direct to Verizon tech support.  I was told that yes Verizon had, several years ago, mistakenly reported my iWatch as stolen which likely had to do with me changing mobile providers but not re-activating a line on the iWatch.  And I was further told that Verizon attempted to remove my iWatch from the Lost and Stolen Device Registry.  Whether it's fully resolved I should know sometime this week.  I very much appreciate the follow up that happened through this forum.

Update: Verizon failed to correct the error they made incorrectly reporting my apple iWatch to the Lost and stolen Device Registry.  At this point correcting it is a lost cause.
