Dear Evelyn,
Thanks for your recent correspondence regarding the charges in dispute. As you know your firm and I have add numerous contacts about this problem. Let me go thru the entire situation and time line as I have not done this on paper before.
On January 7 thru January 14 I was on a cruise ship departing from Ft Lauderdale, Fl to the Caribbean and return. I had my computer and your wireless card with me on this cruise. I did use the computer on the cruise to check my investments but for a limited amount of time, as I considered it very expensive, thru the ships wi-fi service not thru verizion. However the card remained plugged into the computer and as far as I can tell this is the problem (My Bad). Before writing this letter I checked thru all my email messages and did not find any record of an alert for over usage and I for sure did not receive it while on the cruise or I certainly would not have continued to use it to the tune of $1054.78. This amount is more than I spend, or can afford, for a years worth of Verizon service. As you can see from my past records I rarely use Verizon service except for some time between January and April. I keep the account active just in case I need to use it when I am away from home. As I have stated previously I was very satisfied with your with your coverage and service up to this point.
Ok here is where the story gets rough. When I returned from the cruise I tried to use the Verizon service and found that for some reason it failed to work. I went to a Verizon store in Coral Springs, Fl.in search of a solution. I brought in the computer with the Verizon card attached. I was informed by a Verizion representive that, after checking, the problem was not with Verizon but with my computer. He suggested various ways to solve this problem. I tried these solutions and none of them worked. I finally reinstalled the entire operating system loosing much of my important data. This did not work either. I was traveling around the state of Florida at the time so I visited a Verizon store in Port Charlotte, Fl to seek a solution. There I was informed that my service had been suspended. This after I had erased everything in the computer to try to solve the problem. As you can well imagine I was quite upset with this outcome and the $1054.78 in charges. At this time and in the issuing days I had numerous phone conversations with Verizon to try to seek a solution to this problem. I was offered a credit of $527.39 however I found this unacceptable as I never used the service at all. Make sense? If we are being honest here I am sure you have confronted this type of a problem many times, right?
Ok. Here is what to me would be a satisfactory resolution. Because I was not intelligent, or informed, enough to remove the card from my computer while on this cruise (as I said before, MY BAD) I will be willing to pay an extra months service of $63.37, or pay the $527.30 and receive a credit for 9 months service at my present rate to satisfy and restore, in its entirety, this account. See what you think!
Thanks,
