Bait and Swich

[Bwit1]

I am disgusted by the unethical behavior of a Verizon Customer service representative.  I called to disconnect my service as my bill was too high.  After speaking with a representative, they were able to  lower my bill, but that was not enough, so I asked to be transferred to the “disconnect” department.  This is where the bait and switch occurred. He reduced the price even further and the services I was losing was my phone, the Olympic Chanel and one other(can’t remember, not a movie channel), and actually was upgraded from 75/75 to 150/150.  I clarified numerous times what services I would or would not be getting.   I agreed and proceeded with the order. When we turned on the TV the following day we had no DVR and a fraction of the channels we had prior.  When I called, I was shocked to find out the representative moved us to the entry level package with Showtime, hence bait and switch.  To get the services I was promised is now costing me an addional $62.  It’s clear the CSR in the disconnect department are compensated for keeping someone with Fios. I have since spent over 3 hours talking to numerous CSR, and managers.  After speaking with a Manager, I was to receive a call from another Manager(higher up) which I have yet to receive.   If someone calls, I will go into full the detsils on the pricing.   I would not expect a company like Verizon to have an unethical CSR.  team.   It’s despicale.
