I recently called Verizon back in October to have my service discontinued due to the rising costs and cheaper offers from other cable companies, upon getting a customer service rep on the phone they apologized for the high price and offered me a better price of $128 per month all taxes included, with the criteria that I stay with Verizon for the next two years, Based on the offer given to me I then made the decision to accept and stay for the next few years under the assurance that the price would not go. After paying the first month’s bill the service was fine, however the next months bill the price went up to $150!! I subsequently called Verizon at which point they acknowledged the offer that was given to me but also said that the rep misinformed me and oops they can’t do anything. I attempted to speak to a supervisor but that didn’t help as she either didn’t care enough or had no idea how to rectify the situation, I asked to speak to someone on a higher level at which point was stonewalled and given the runaround. I need to get some help resolving this issue as I would never have stayed with Verizon if $150 was the price per month. I am appalled and angry at the lack of decency and accountability after they clearly misinformed me and now refuse to honor their contract.
