2-11-2021: an uninitiated service was cancelled via email to sales rep and equipment returned to Verizon Connect for an ELD system by OBS ENTERPRISES my husband, ***************** trucking company. An adequate installation schedule could not be met by VC. 11-11-2021, a collections letter was received from ************************************************************** stating $2282.32 was owed to VC by OBS. Not a single bill from VC to OBS was received from February-November 2021. A Mr. ********************* with **** stated, on 11-24-2021 collections would not be pursued after explaining the cancellation and providing him with case numbers as confirmation.8-29-2022, a collections letter from ***********************************. was received stating OBS owed VC $2282.32. A dispute was filed on their website 10-4-2022.The first week in September 2022, Steves truck broke down in ****************, ********. He was unable to rent a vehicle because of a negative report from ************* where Verizon Connect had sent OBS ENTERPRISES to collections, therefore, I, his wife, ***********************, had to drive from *****, ******** to ****************, ******** so he could have transportation while his truck was at a garage(supposedly) being fixed. I sent a letter/invoice to *************************** Global Customer Success requesting reimbursement of $1704.07 for unnecessary personal travel expenses and suspension of collections for OBS. They are in the process of correcting the collections, but are NOT willing to reimburse me the money according to their contract. I, personally, did not sign a contract with Verizon Connect so that does not affect me. Because of their actions that should not have been taken to begin with, I was out over $1700 of which I would like returned. If BC had not initiated collections on my husbands business for service never used and equipment unused and returned, he would have been able to rent a car and I would not have had to spend an unexpected amount of money's on a trip I shouldnt of had to make.Business Response

In March 2022 I inquired to Verizon Connect about adding a field service dispatch to my existing account with them. I was looking for a service that would help route my drivers and put the orders in a logical delivery order according to the distance between stops.I spoke with ***************************** , and he seemed to think their field service dispatch would do this for me. I agreed to purchase. After I purchased I couldn't make it work like described. He signed me up for a training seminar. The trainer then told me it wouldn't do what I was asking. I then emailed Verizon connect to remove from my account . I have been fighting with them since to get it removed since it doesn't do what I was explained. I have tried calling, emailing and opening up support cases. They did refund $40.00 but then they just started charging me again. Every time I call they say they are marking it in a dispute but it never goes anywhere or gets resolved at this point. I even tried emailing the manager over the CM department, but haven't heard anything. I have been over charged at this point $620.08. I will attach what emails I have and the last invoice I received. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Business Response

I originally ordered 2 devices from Verizon connect was given a installation date then on the day of installation they never showed up to install the equipment, I called the company and after talking with them I decided to cancel my account. After months of back and forth opening cases and speaking with alot of different people I finally was able to get ahold of one of there success managers that said they would be canceling the account and waving any fees or charges made to my account since I never used there product. Almost a year later I received a letter from a collections agency for over $4,000 for an account that was never used and I was told I wouldnt be charged for. This is just ridiculousBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:As stated from there own customer service I did not have an active account and any and all fees associated with any potential account was to be waved. If they are not willing to fix this error and are still trying to pursue false charges I'll be contacting the Attorney *************** and *** about the matter as well as seeking legal council to deal with this matter there is not a satisfactory outcome.

I was sold a fleet location management service. The Equipment provided was incompatible with my equipment, per Verizon Connect Technical Support. They contacted my sales rep to get the right equipment and He never responded. So I chose to cancel the service. This was in August 2022. I sent the wrong equipment back to Verizon Connect. Now its December, 2022, I have spoken to 15 to 20 representatives from Verizon Connect to cancel the service. I still get calls from collections to pay my bill for service I never received. I have sent numberous emails and never get a response from the company. I just want the account cancelled and my account free of any charges. I haven't paid anything to this company. I just want my account free and clear and collections to stop calling me.Business Response

I ordered the equipment for electronic logs for my business. They sent me the wrong equipment several times and charged me $4K. I spoke with a rep and she got me approved for return and $0 owed. We returned equipment and they still charged my card. I had to dispute it with my card company. They then started sending me emails threatening to turn my company over for non payment when I am not obligated to pay anything, everything was returned and never used because it was not the right equipment. I have tried on multiple occasions to call them and they hang up after I wait 20+ minutes on hold.Business Response

I originally requested to cancel my contract with Verizon Connect in January 2022. It took four months, but I was finally able to get them to cancel in May 2022. I signed papers they sent stating my contract was being terminated. They stopped charing for ELD service but it is now Decmber and they are still charging me for tracking services, which should have also been cancelled. I have contacted them numerous times by phone and email. I am either ignored or told they will assign someone to finish closing out my account but they never do. My bill is now up to $380.66 due to them neglecting to cancel the account. I would like them to please stop billing me and remove the charges so that my credit is not affected.Initial Complaint

We opened an account with Verizon Connect for tracking devices to be used on our trucks in February of 2021. From day one these devices were constantly providing inaccurate and inconsistent data. After about a year of struggle and more than 10 open cases with Verizon in effort to try to get these trackers to work, we had to close the account. It took us over 6 months to close the account as Verizon tried to charge us contract cancellation fee. We paid over $4000 for 9 months of bad service for Verizon Connect tracking devices that never worked. We worked with multiple business success managers in order to try to close the account and spent countless number of hours dealing with Verizon support. We have requested a refund for the 9 months that we paid for the service. Our attorney sent an email to Verizon correspondence team over two weeks ago. We have not heard back.Business Response
