Verizon rep totally messed up our account! Now we have to deal with it?!

[zm386341]

I cancelled my Fios internet service on 12/24/2013 at 9am. I provided her with the account number, custom ID. She tried to offer me a deal but I told her I already had comcast service installed. So she did the cancellation and gave the cancellation number. You would think this would be over, nice and easy. But nightmare started from here. We went on vacation for a week then my in-laws call me said their internet service is not working. They called verizon and was told someone called and cancelled their service. They called verizon and told them they had never called to cancel their service. So they got their service re-installed but verizon won't offer them the promotion deal which they had 2 months ago (they had their service for 2 months). When my in-laws told me this, I was a little concerned because their service got cancelled on the day I called to cancel my service. I went online and checked my account. Oops, my verizon account still active and they are going to charge me for the next service period. I have no clue how could this happened! Is someone on drugs? I called and gave her the account number and custom number and they cancelled my in-laws' service instead of mine? I went online and chatted with several reps and ended up by them saying "you have to call verizon during business hours".
Why did Verizon do this to us? I am planning to call my credit card to refuse all the payment verizon charged and tell my in-laws to cancel verizon service if verizon do not resolve this.
I have been fairly with verizon in the past but this incidence really made me think twice about verizon now.
