I renewed my FIOS agreement with Verizon for a on-line price of $69..99. I got the order confirmation on the screen and the order showed under Order status also.
However, when I checked my account again after a couple of days, the web-site prompted me for renewal again.
I called Verizon to inform them that I had renewed online. They said the order was not processed and it had to be put it through. They did not give a good reason on why the order was stuck or what was wrong with the order.They simply said it happens sometimes. Agent did something to process the order and everything was set. I got the confirmation email also.
When I got the bil for this month, I see a charge of $84.99.
I called Verizon and spoke to an Agent. I explained to her:
1) Verizon does not show me the order details anymore
2) The confirmation email does not show the price or the break-up. It is just an acknowledgement email
3) The only proof I had was the screenshot I captured when I renewed the agreement.
I faxed the document to the agent. She reviewed the account, the order and verified the document I sent. But she mentioned that she did not have authority to adjust the price. She recorded the whole thing plus the fact that she had verified the documentary proof.
Then I was transferred to some other person.He requested me to fax the document and promised to call back as soon as he gets the fax. He has not called until now.
I am suprised Verizon would engage in "bait and switch" for customers signing up online.
If Verizon has an issue with On-line signing up, they should simply shut-off online sign-up and ask everyone to call customer service. Verizon should not show incorrect pricess online and make customers go in circles. Also, when a customer signs an agreement, Verizon should at least send an email with the details of pricing in which case any discrepancies can be immediately sorted not. instead of waiting for the bill.
Can the moderator help me by forwarding this to an appropriate person? I am ready to fax the document again, if required
