Way to go Verizon, you have lost a $300 per month customer for life. I will be canceling my FIOS Internet and cable service, never to return. Further, even though Verizon Wireless maybe a separate entity, I will be canceling my account with them for life as well. Why? Quite simple. Your lower level customer service representatives failed to make my situation right and actually told me there was not one person in a management position in the ENTIRE company that would have the authority to make things right. Truly unbelievable! Let me sum up the issue as clearly and concisely as possible:
1. I moved from my prior residence in January 2012.
2. We called in January 2012 to cancel service...along with all the other calls we made to stop other services with other companies as a result of the move.
3. I have been continually charged $46.99 per month on a recurring charge on my credit card.
4. I mistakenly believed this charge was for another Verizon account.
5. When I realized this recurring charge was for service I HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVING SINCE JANUARY 2012, I called customer service to rectify the situation.
6. Both customer service representatives I dealt with (Josh - an outside vendor / {edited for privacy}a Verizon employee) continually referred to the account "notes" and stated the only call in January 2012 dealt with a "technical ticket" and not for cancellation of service.
7. I advised I have no control over their "notes", we in fact did call to cancel service, and, in short, it is QUITE SIMPLE to VERIFY we moved and Verizon has been receiving monthly payments for SERVICE THEY DID NOT RENDER.
8. I stated, in a continually pleasant and non-combative fashion, that regardless of what their "notes" say, Verizon clearly did not render this service, so, let's cut to the chase and make things right for an outstanding customer where an obvious mix-up has occurred.
9. I was told by Verizon employee{edited for privacy} that the best she could do was offer a three month credit.
10. Verizon has received 18 months of payments for service they have not rendered.
11. This is UNACCEPTABLE.
12. Adios Verizon, you just lost a great customer for life.
13. What a TERRIBLE business decision you have made!
14. Hope your unearned payments were worth it to you as I WILL BE SPREADING THE WORD OF THIS DEBACLE!!

It takes 18 months to notice a recurring bad charge! Unbelievable!!
As previously stated, it was mistakenly thought to be for another existing Verizon account.
Either way, why would Verizon want money for service the clearly did not provide??
Thanks for your insightful comment though.
