Verizon wireless/ Verizon connect it is a branch of Verizon wireless. charged nearly $1800 In unauthorized charges to my account. I contacted the billing and the dispute department repeatedly for a refund and they keep saying it takes a couple billing cycles. I have not received a refund and they have now attempted to do the same thing again today by billing me for something I do not owe. I have yet again called them and when I explain whats going on they put me on hold and never come back to the phone. I have waited on hold for as long as an hour to an hour and a half at time before they either hang up on me or transfer me back to the main operator to be transferred again and placed on hold.Business Response

I have been attempting to cancel services with this company for over 6 months. They refuse to terminate my contract and are still charging me monthly services. The devices provided have never worked properly and after many complaints, they continue to ignore the issue. **************** is horrible as well.

Account ************ I signed a contract with Verizon Connect I found out I was getting double charged for my service. I contacted the company and manager to get this resolved months went past without nothing getting resolved. I refused to pay the extra amount and my service got disconnected. I was told to pay the full balance until they fixed the problem. They never fixed this problem I am still getting double billed no one reached out to me about this issue. My only option is to wait on hold for a manger for them to tell me they are working on it and to keep paying the bill until its resolved. It have been 11 months of waiting and paying a double bill because I am locked in a contract.Business Response

On 12/14/21 we requested a transfer of tracking equipment from lease return vehicles to newly leased vehicles. In 1/4/2022 we again made the request. On 2/23/22 I requested our account be closed since I needed to employ an alternate provider for vehicle tracking to maintain DOT compliance due to a failure of Verizon Connect to provide services for 2 months. On 3/4/22, I supplied additional requested information to complete the cancellation. After receiving a bill in April of 2022, I contacted Verizon Connect on 5/5/2022 via email and again was told verbally the account would be closed and charges would be forgiven. On 5/12/22 I requested written verification via email and never received a response. In August I received a bill again, responded via email and received a call back stating the account would be closed and all pending charges would be removed. I again received a bill for September. Verizon Connect is continuing to charge for service they do not provide and has repeatedly failed to cancel the account and pending charges as promised.Business Response

Initially I ordered some equipment to be installed for ELD logs for my truck but then decided against it when they messed up my order and never scheduled for a tech to come out for installation of the devices. I cancel the order and return their device. I never received any of their services yet continue to get invoices. I have called and emailed them more then 6 times and each time they state that it has been canceled only to receive the biggest bill as of lately of $2,600. I never used their service and never will.Business Response

Ive been trying to cancel my account since May 19th with no help or response from anyone. Between phone calls and emails I cant get a straight answer. The charges continue to pile up and Im being told by one representative that to cancel my account itll cost me over $6,000. Up until about a week ago I had never been made aware of this..only that my account supervisor would call me to get my account cancelled. I reached out on June 7, July 5, August 1 and September 1. Ive yet to speak to my account supervisor, only customer support. The $6,000 cancellation fee was generated after an auto renewal that occurred in December 2021. I had already fulfilled my original 3 year contract paying roughly $268 per month for 4 years. The current fleet tracking equipment is not capable of functioning due to an upgrade to 5G equipment. I dont have access to 5G towers.therefore the equipment is useless to me.precisely why I wanted to cancel my account. Any help is appreciated.Business Response

When we signed up for Verizon Connect last year, we were misled by the sales representative about what was included in the price we were quoted. Within a week we realized that it just wasn't going to work for us. We reached out and cancelled service and were told that everything was all set and that our contract was voided. After a few months we started receiving automated calls stating that we had an overdue balance. Every time we reached out to customer service we were treated poorly and told that they were unable to transfer us to a manager. We even got our normal Verizon representative involved and the issue has still not been resolved over a year later. This experience has made us consider ending our business relationship with Verizon altogether.Business Response

I puchased logging equipment and setup autodraft for the montly payment. I lost my debit card and had to replace it. I was notified by the company after a few attempted payments had declined. Afterwards, I called and updated my payment information as well as paid for the previous failed attempts to ************* account current. Amidst this process, the company pinned an $1,100 that was deemed as an early cancellation fee. I spoke with multiple representatives of the company via telephone trying to rectify and remove this charge. I was told by multiple representatives that they would remove the fee and I could continue using the services. I continued using the service, however I received a letter in the mail saying that my account had been cancelled and that the $1,100 "cancellation fee" had been sent to a collections agency. I refuse to pay this as I did not break the contract nor discontinue business with the company. It was simply a misunderstanding that should've been resolved once the payment information was updated and the account was made current.Business Response
