Property damage bill from CMR

[sampath267]

We have been receiving phone calls and letters from a company called CMR for FiOS cable repair work performed in Jan 2015. At the time of repair, the Verizon agent did not mention any charges for the work and we have not seen any mention of it in our FiOS statements. However, CMR has been calling and sending letters asking us to pay $309.51. Not knowing if this was a genuine claim we contacted Verizon directly asking for an explanation. After multiple calls and discussions with several people in Account Verification, Billing and Fraud departments, we were advised this is fraud and that our account is in good standing and to ignore this company. Per their advise we filed fraud compaints with our city police department and FTC. Still, CMR hasn't stopped calling. We wrote them a formal letter advising them not to call and that we will only respond to claims directly billed to our Verizon account. They haven't stopped calling and this has become a nuisance. We also sent a formal letter to Verizon Customer Service requesting their help to resolve this issue and haven't heard back from them.

After seeing many posts on this forum about similar issues regarding CMR that were eventually resolved, we decided to take our issue to the community. We ask that a moderator escalate this to a Verizon Agent to help resolve this issue.
