wheres my refund?
I had verizon for 5 year the bill got so high. I had to let it go.
They always charges a $5.00 fee when I late to pay my billing, this is since 2008 up to present. My phone # is 650/465/6424.
I’ve received late and reconnect fees since 03 at various times.
I not only was charged late fee of $5 and $15 reconnect between 2009-2012, but was charged $5 for making a cash payment. Maybe something can be done about that.
I have been trying to find a claim form to file my claim.
I have received a $5.00 late fee nearly every month for the past 9 years due to when the payment was due and when I received my pay. I have also had to pay a $15.00 reconnection fee a few times!! My telephone number is 760-9532597. Where do I obtain a claim form????? I sure haven’t found it on this site, although that’s what the postcard I received said!!
i was a customer and had to pay late fees my account was 570593574-00002 and to this date they are charging me $85.00 I paid and have my repeipt for. The are talking about collection and it has been paid.
I have paid the 5.00 late fee many times and have included myself in this class action settlement. I am still being charged this late fee and a tax on the late fee, which I find completely ridiculous. Is this tax they are charging me included in the settlement? When should we receive our individual settlement and will Verizon be forced to stop charging this late fee and tax?
This company used to be good back in the day. Now, it’s all about the investors and the CEO’s.
These jerks are up to their old tricks again. I received a check for the settlement last month and literally right after that, I start getting late fees on my Verizon account! Apparently, the 5 day grace period that they used to give us is no longer valid. At least that is what a customer service rep told me. I never pay my bill on the due date. Whether it’s because I forget or whatever. They always get their money so I never got charged late fees when this case was going on.
Looks like they’re trying to get their 10,000,000 back to me. I’m so tired of getting screwed by these companies.
Good day! I had a vverizon account with your company for years while living in new York City The bronx. I was always was overcharged and third parties were calling me all times of the night and day.

They knew how to cal you asking for their money, I see no difference. ”Fair Exchang is, no Robbery”! thank you and hopefully we will recieve our Check soon in the mail.
