Verizon signed my dementia addled father for not one but two long term wireless contracts. Luckily (not really) he brought me in to deal with it before the FCC 30 day termination deadline. First they didn't mail promised phone return labels. After many calls later and the phones were returned and the account payed off. Then, boom, a month later they sent a bill for early termination fees. It seems that my father had called them to see if they would release a previously ported phone number back to the original carrier (he decided he was too old not to have a landline). Well it seems some helpful associate/technician trying to help my pathetic dad get his number back triggered early termination penalties and this was found later in some beancounter audit. The person he talked to did not indicate he would have to pay ~$200 to get his number back. Incredibly, trying to get the early termination fees re-removed from the account was denied.
Even when the employees try their best to help you, the Verizon faceless machine Corporation will screw you.
