Need help from a competent Verizon employee

[jlark]

I have called/chatted three times already on this issue.  No one can resolve it for me.  Someone at Verizon who had NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING altered my Verizon account/services when all they were supposed to be doing was requesting my old phone number to be put on my new account.  This resulted in a change of service for me that increased my bill from $190 a month to $437 a month!!!  I keep getting told that it is impossible for them to get me back to that $190/month charge.  This is unacceptable.  I authorized NO changes to my account.

Someone needs to find a way to undo what a Verizon employee inadvertently did so that I can get my bill back down to where it needs to be. 

This whole situation has been a nightmare since day one (when I had my service installed in early September).  I used to defend Verizon and their customer service.  Not anymore!  I have never in my life come across so many incompetent agents who have no idea how to even transfer an old phone number...one of the most BASIC of services you all can provide.

I am prepared to go to the FCC if this is not resolved by Friday.   I will not go round and round in circles with you all on this.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
