Directory assistance calls

[lawyer13]

I switched from Comcast to Verizon two years ago.  Since switching to Verzon,  I am continually billed for directory assistance calls that are not being made from this phone.  It is normally two or three a month.  I must argue every month with customer service personnel to adjust the bill.  Now they tell me it will not be credited again.  Guess I need to switch back to Comcast.  Smameis other than this problem I liked the service.

I have been a Verizon customer for over a year now. Over the last several months I have been charged over $300 on "directory assistance calls" that i have disputed and never made! I do not even need the phone in my home. It is unplugged and we are still being charged for these calls. When they sent someone out to investigate the phone, nothing was reported and i was again charged $75 for the service call.  I was reimbursed for $24 but not the entire amount for the directory assistance calls. How that is possible i have no idea! I have spent countless hours on the phone trying to get these charges removed. I recently made a breakthrough and was told i would be given vouchers to account for these ridiculous charges. I was told it would take a couple days to show up in my account. Turns out I was lied to...again. Now i have to wait another hour trying to speak with a human on the phone who i have to explain this situation all over again. I am looking for any advice or help. This is not a new problem with Verizon. I am aware a woman in pennsylvania went before a judge because of these charges. Is there something in place within verizon since this is a reoccuring problem. If so, i would really appreciate someone who could help.

Since my 8/22/14 bill I have been getting charged for Directory Assistance that we have NOT requested.  I have written a letter (11/15/14 that probably went no where) and I’ve called customer service three (3) times speaking with {edited for privacy} (11/15/14), {edited for privacy} (12/3/14), and Derrick (1/2/15-lost the call on his end and he never called me back).  I was informed my inquiry was being forwarded to ‘Fiber Solutions Centers’, but I’ve yet to hear from them.  I have no intension of paying these charges.  At this time, if nothing is resolve, I plan to drop Verizon at the end on my contract.
