one-bill

MIke writes that he's having some catastrophic billing issues with Verizon. He's never had good luck with their customer service, which was fine with him because he never really had issues with his account. The simple act of choosing a new home service bundle set off a chain reaction ended up with Mike receiving multiple bills with different charges for different things, totaling about $1,100 for a 45-day period. 

When he threw up his hands and asked Verizon to just cancel his service, waiving the early termination fees for his trouble, they couldn't handle that, either. Update: Verizon has fixed the accounts and given Mike a full refund.  More »

—>Reader Kevin wanted to sign up for Verizon's One Bill service, so he called to see if he qualified. The CSR told him that he did, so he signed up for it. Turns out, the CSR secretly signed him up for a more expensive DSL plan because his current one did not qualify. Now Verizon wants an early termination fee for the new, faster DSL and an activation fee to put Kevin back on the plan he used to have. Yuck.   More »
