Verizon Billing Support is Unprofessional

[rheil1]

Cancelled my phone/internet mid May after years of great service because of a move out of state; called Verizon billing before the move and they said not to pay the May bill until a credit is issued on next bill for the second half of May since I would not be using their service during that time. Got next bill on 6/6 that was still not credited/corrected; so called Verizon billing back and they said the credit did not go through yet, and not to pay the bill until next billing cycle on 7/6 when it would be corrected. Got the 7/6 bill and it was still not corrected so called Verizon Billing again and they automatically sent me to a collection agency! Called Verizon billing again and they said I got bad information from them previously, that they do not credit any partial non-use, and since I did not pay my bill on time that it was sent to a collection agency - the Verizon billing person basically said that was too bad it happened this way. Now my credit is damaged because I followed Verizon's instructions and they say 'too bad'? Wow. Will NEVER use Verizon again.
