Verizon refuses to cancel my account and has billed me for a year

[Shoe22]

I was a loyal prompt-paying customer for almost 10 years with Verizion internet, and had to disconnect due to lack of FIOS in my area.

On Sept 21, 2018, I called Verizon and later received a callback. I spoke to a Verizon representative and cancelled my service.  I was told that I would not need to return the equipment and that my account was cancelled.  I have proof of these in my T-mobile call printout, but Verizon denies the calls ever occurred (they say a 9/19/18 call existed, but for a different issue).

In short, Verizon continued to bill me AFTER I cancelled service, and refuses to acknowledge the clear fact that I called them AND THEY CALLED ME BACK.  And they continued to bill me.

I disconnected my internet on that day and have not used it since.  However, I have been billed and been forced to pay those bills monthly since then.

I recently called to find out why my service was not cancelled as agreed, and was told that the Verizon logs do not show a call on 9/21/18. I have evidence of paying for COMCAST internet instead, but the bills from Verizon kept coming and they refuse to acknowledge that I even called them.

I have asked for managers and been rebuffed and treated very rudely.  Extremely discouraged by the poor customer support.

I have contacted local consumer protection agencies and the state attorney general. 

All I want is a refund for 12 months, and I keep calling to cancel service and they can’t even confirm or do that.  Incredibly discouraged.
