Verizon started sending me ever increasing bills and i realized there was something wrong! I had requested the lifeline service only. I qualified. Then came a bill with 2 pages of. 35 cent charges. Then a verizon repair man appeared saying he was replacing the entire line to my address, he commented that he wondered how i could ever even make a call with all the static on the line. Well, i never used the phone, it was for emergencies, my boss' pregnant daughter was staying with me in sept. 2004 when i first got the service, she was only there a month. The phone sat in the corner, i never used it. I have a tracfone.
Then i tried the verizon dsl, but my computer wouldnt run the program, too small a processor. They didnt want to discuss it, i paid all but the last 2 "lease" payments because one afternoon i talked to a nice verizon lady that said they should have cancelled the contract if i couldnt even use the service.
I was billed for calls to oregon, i dont know anyone in oregon. At one point a rep took all of the 35 cent calls off of the bill, then a meadow olssen said i had to pay it and tacked the 135 or so amount back on.
They say i owe 400.00 dollars and some odd cents. I thought i had the lifeline service at 5.65 per month. I even paid most of the dsl which i never once connected completely or used. Verizons lack of attention to this detail tells of their mega corp malevolent attitude.
Now i have debt collectors calling me incessantly for this rip off bill.
I refuse to pay a bill i did not incur. They ignore me. I ignore them.
But i would like for the debt collection people to know that the account they keep calling me about is a fraud and they should leave me alone.
