      Verizon Connect has poor customer service. We have reached out numerous times via email and telephone. Tickets would be created by Verizon regarding the issue, but were never followed up on. We ordered *** devices and ******s for our fleet. During our trial period, we decided the cameras were not a good fit. We contacted our account manager at the time. She stated there would be no fee to cancel the cameras. We had the cameras de-installed. Verizon Connect claimed they sent us shipping labels to return the cameras to them. We did not receive them. For several months, we reached out to them repeatedly to get the equipment returned to them. We never receoved the shipping labels. They continued billing us for the cameras even tho they were de-installed. We instructed Verizon that if they did not provide the shipping labels, they would forfeit the equipment. They continually iognored our emails. When we called them, they would take messages and never get back to us. We notified Verizon Connect that if they continued to ignore us, or fail to assist us, we would have to terminate the *** units as well. Again they refused to assist us. We cancelled the *** units and returned them to Verizon. They continued to bill us for the *** units. Now they are attemtping to charge us almost $30k for termination fees, buyout fees, and months of non-payment for *** and ****** services (even though equipment was de-installed, and *** units were returned to them). They are very unprofessional. They are unwilling to assist us. They ignore us or give us the run-around. They do not resolve any of the tickets we opened with their support team. They refuse to credit our account accordingly. I have provided them with a full breakdown of what we owe, which totals $3,569.36. I have requested a billing adjument numerous times in order to make payment and close out the account.

      I have attached my previous complaint filed against Verizon Connect on 7/29/22. They contacted me after filing the complaint and I was finally able to get the long overdue credit approved however we received another bill from collections on 2/8/23 for the same amount as before (both are attached and both were disputed). I received a credit memo from Verizon Connect on 8/17/22 but have not received an invoice or notification stating any balance owed until the collections notice again last week. It is clear that they did nothing with the credit. I called Verizon Connect the day we received the most recent collections bill. I spoke to the sales department, accounts receivable, micro success management, and small business but no one could help me. ***************************** sent the following on 2/9/23: "I will consult my supervisors about this issue on the credit that was approved and get back to you as soon a I know something." As of 2/15/23 there is no update (communications with **************** are attached). I have no idea who to contact and I cannot continue to spend hours on the phone trying to resolve this. Please help!

      I have been with Verizon connect for a long time but with no service. They finally sent cameras but we asked to cancel before the cameras were sent to us. We talked to a **** and he said he would send *** to come collect the cameras. but they never did pick up cameras. They we're also to install but never sent a technician to do that as well. They continue to bill me for service I do not have. I have been trying to cancel services with them over year now. Verizon Connect will not allow me to cancel services. On 2/7/23 they finally said it would be finalized but now asking me to pay $7200 for early termination fee. I do not agree. They won't even provide me with a contract showing that I signed a contract.

      I talked with verizon connect to use a reveal product to track company vehicles. Before I could get them the vehicle details for them to send the product for install, I had some significant changes with vehicles and team members. So I told them it no longer made sense for me to use their product and to cancel. So I never received the product or had it installed or used the service. A few months later I noticed an email from them saying they had charged my card. After looking into it I found they had charged me three times. I have since called multiple times and talked to multiple people trying to cancel or close any information to do with our company and get a refund. I was successful in getting them to remove the card info so that i was not charged anymore. I have two emails from reps with their company saying they closed my account and canceled auto pay. I have recently received emails saying that I owe them payment for months after receiving emails saying my account was closed. Even though i have emails showing i cancelled the account.

      I contracted with Verizon Connect for vehicle tracking in spring of 2020 under a trial period per the sales agreement. The service did not work as described and I reached out to Verizon Connect within a couple of weeks of use and attempted to end my trial period. Verizon denied it being a trial period as it was described to me on a recorded line (they can not/will not provide the recording per policy) they also will not provide the contract, and the DocuSign they provided did not work. I have over 50 emails where I tried to handle this issue. They continued to bill me for a 39 month period, then had the audacity to turn the amount they claim due to a collections agency. If you ever considered using Verizon connect/Fleet don't do it. Check out home many class action suits are out there with Verizon as a defendant. The last email I have from them were they stated they would review everything has now gone unanswered for over a year. The phone number they provided is now disconnected.

      On July 6th, 2022, my supervisor ********* started having some issues with billing from Verizon Connect. She was billed for a unit we never received, and it was to be credited to our account. There were 3 units that were supposed to be replaced due to being broken, and they still have not been replaced even though they were supposedly requested by 2 different reps. *** account was on automatic payments for the monthly balance of $612.50 on bill dated 6/15, then on 6/21 they snuck in another bill where they added $2784.15. I was tasked with finding out what was going on, and was given the name of ********************* as our new CSM. ***** told me that they "forgot" to bill us for many months, so these were all of those charges. We did not receive a phone call, nor a letter explaining the situation, and the bills are setup in a less than desirable way for someone that doesn't have access to their system to read. I asked ***** why they would have thought it acceptable or legal to dip into a companies bank account with no notification of error after a bill had already previously been issued. Apparently this was done to numerous businesses and not just ours was the only response I have gotten. I have been in contact with ********************* several times and promised several credits that were not applied to the account. This has been drawn out ridiculously, with no concrete resolution, and to date I have not been able to get a call back or any written communication on the issue. I called Friday, and was refused a manager, I was told that they escalated the process and I would get a response by Wednesday. It is Thursday and no one has responded to me. The reps in the credit **** have confirmed that this is a pretty common problem and we are not the only ones dealing with these issues. There were credits promised for back charges on non working units that were not being used due to failure, and according to ***** we have been being charged more than what we should. No room to write more.

      Verizon originally sent incorrect equipment so we could not use service. This took 5 months for them to realize, they then sent out equipment that is not set up. I have spent over 5 hours on the phone with no resolution. I am frustrated beyond words, and I am afraid this can affect my credit. Please help. My acct #************. I am currently on hold again as I write this for over 1 hour.

      I am rejecting this response because: No services were ever provided. They never sent the appropriate equipment for our vehicles. We made several attempts to contact them only to be put on hold for over 45 min each attempt and eventually hung up on. Their services were never hooked up in our vehicles due to them never sending correct equipment. We have spent over 4 hours on the phone trying to set up with no assistance from the business, We request all fees waived

      Sincerely,

      ****** *******

      I had Verizon Connect install tracking devices on my rental vehicles. The information I received to get them set up was so complicated that I didn't understand it. I tried calling, left message after message, emailed, and couldn't get any help with setting it up. I finally emailed that I wanted them removed this was after about 3 weeks after having them installed. No response to email, phone calls, and messages I left. I couldn't get the sales person to call me back even. Even threatening them with reporting their business tactics to the Attorney General did not get me any assistance. Now, they have sent a bill over $2000 to a collection agency. I do not think that I should have to pay this bill as I asked numerous times for help and then for them to remove the devices. The devices are still on the vehicles. I have copies of emails. I have over a dozen emails and at least as many calls to them. They have turned it over to CBE ********** **********************************************. The ** number with them is ***********. Reference number ****. Account number ********************. My business is Road Trippin' LLC a ******** business. Thank you for any assistance you can give.

      Started business with this company 11/2022. I have called and sent numerous emails. We were unable to get the equipment to work. I finally received and email last week in reference to the equipment. I enforced the gut that we have not been able to use the equipment since receiving it. I was suppose to get a call back on 1/30/2023. As of today I have yet to receive a call. I also asked that a supervisor call and that's yet to happen. I have been calling for an hour and a half today to get hung up on e times. I am now back on the phone requesting a refund for the payment that they took out of my account today. This company has poor customer service. No one calls you back nor do they respond to emails. I work in customer service and this is the absolute worse!! I will not upload documents due to my personal information being on it.
