Why am I being charged a penalty for paying my bill in full?

[corprog]

Last month I worked with Verizon to get an incorrect bill of 84.99 corrected to 59.99.  I paid the bill in full.  Now I am being charged 25.00 in addition to this month's fee because I didn't pay the fraudulent 84.99 last month. 

I have also been offered a $100 gift credit that would be applied to my future payments.  This has not happened.

Please correct the $25.00 penalty and follow through on your gift credit.

no one on a customer to customer help forum can assist on billing issues.

but you have to call billing to get it fixed.

This is the most effective way to reach someone from customer service who can do something and you will have a paper trail to hold them accountable.

Last month I called 3 times and Verizon did nothing until I posted the issue here.  Customer service, feel free to chime in.

Verizon does not respond on this forum.

You may be referred at times to someone who can provide additional assistance.

There is no customer service on this forum.

a moderator may have forwarded it to an agent. But it is not monitored by Verizon customer service or tech support personnel.
