I been trying to review my contract since mid 2024. I have called Verizon connect support number ************, they just open tickets for my account *** to contact me. The account *** never calls. After months of trying she called back and said to send her an email requesting the information. I sent an email and she never ***lied. I call her daily, leave voicemails, text, emails, and nothing. Now costumer service is telling me that the contract that expires on 03/18/2025 was auto renewed until 03/18/2026. It looks like they are tying to avoid giving us info so they can keep us under the contract. I just want them to close my account and not having to talk to them again. I understand 2 of my devises are under contract and I know I will have to pay a cancellation fee but for the 3 that they auto renew instead of returning my calls I am not paying a fee for.Business Response

Verizon connect provided us with trackers for use on construction equipment. After many months of support tickets and discussions, it was determined that the trackers we were sent did not work. Verizon connect support told us we could simply end services. We paid for the period of time we used the equipment, and were told we would not owe anything additional. We were put in contact with our account representative, ***** ****** who also confirmed that services were concluded and no money was due. I have received these communications verbally and via email (I still have record of him communicating that we owe no money). For several months, the verizon connect billing team still calls and emails me to demand payment. I've explained the circumstances, they say they understand. But I still continue to receive calls and emails about payment. I contacted ***** about this, he said it was an internal error and that i needed to sign a docusign - after this the matter would be closed. I've done this, and I am still receiving calls and emails about payments. They are now threating to send me to collections, and claiming I owe over $10,000. Which is very frustrating, as their own team is confirming that I do not owe anything to them. It seems that their account team needs to better communicate to their billing team, to show a zero balance due. I would like the harassing phone calls and emails to stop.Business Response

Contract scheduled to auto-renew 2/14/2025 I submitted a cancelation request via customer portal on 11/15/2024 - was told ******************** would call within 4 days to verify, which they never did. I was notified via email 2/3/2025 the "cancelation request case ******** was closed with no action"I initiated another cancelation request 2/4/2025 and it was closed 2/6/2025 with no explanation or action. On 2/6 a sales representative emailed me a proposal to buyout my contract that has auto-renewed for $831.65 She claimed i didnt answer the (2) phone calls from Verizon, so the account auto-renewed, but can provide no details when these calls took place (no voicemails, never had missed calls). She has stopped corresponding after I asked for these details and expressed my confusion as to being required to buy out contract that has been canceled via written notice.Business Response

Im trying to get an early canceletion on a year subscription since December 9th. They stated I'll have to pay an early termination fee, to what I agreed to. They keep asking me to sign docusigns agreeing to pay the early fee and at to this point they haven't canceled the service. The terms of the current year period is March 2025, which is almost here, and I'm just looking to cancel and not get any renewal. They response via email is the team is still working but when I called the customer service line, they say there is not an active cancelation process open.Business Response

After review, we found the cancellation agreement was signed on December 20, 2024. The cancellation to process 1 to 2 billing cycles to process.

I am rejecting this response because the information was never communicated to me and if that's the case, the early termination fee needs to change, since 2 more billing cycle times puts me almost at the end of the contract.

I entered a 3 year contract for Verizon Connect GPS tracking. I installed 1 device and monitored using the software. The software does not provide fluid tracking of devices, yet only ***orting time stamps. Additionally, my account is not showing drive history etc. A ticket was opened in which i was told the device is more than likely installed wrong. I then installed two more devices, and can track them while they are being driven but once stopped, again there is no history. My account manger was very responsive with me from the 12th-16th. I then went on vacation from *****. My *** even emailed me on 12-23-24 and 12-24-24I received the devices on ********. I informed my account ***resentative i wanted to cancel on 12-27-24. After some back and forth my account ***resentative ******** ********** went silent. I even asked him to inform me when the software was corrected so i can see if it will work. I heard nothing back. I tried contacting him on the 30th and 31st. At that point i reached out to customer service to initiate the cancellation. There was back and forth. *** said customer support must cancel and vice versa. Request ******** opened 12/31/24 and closed on 1/10/25 with no action. ******** opened 1/10/24 and closed 1/16/24 with no action. I created ******** and it was immediately closed. I can see all of these in my support cases. I am told there is a request ******** opened on 1-13-24 to close the account, it is with the account manager, but i cannot see this in my support cases. I have emailed my account manager daily and have gotten no response back from him. I call customer service daily and they tell me the account manger will contact me tomorrow. This branch of Verizon is a joke and an embarrassment to Verizon. I received my devices, they do not work for me. I have been trying to cancel at the 15 day ***** Just hit 30 days and got my first bill for the 3 activated devices for service from 1-15-25 to 2-14-25. Horrible service.Business Response

We have used VC for about 7 years. Last summer our contract renewed for 3 years. I realized about a month later that 2 vehicles were no longer being tracked. I called and the person got them back on immediately. About a month later they were no longer being tracked again. Since that point I have been calling, getting assigned case number after case number, they get closed and nothing gets resolved. I have spent hours on this problem. Always told someone would get back to me within 72 hours. I never get a return call and then they close the case. They put those two vehicles back on billing 1/1/25, but I still can't track them. So I'm paying for something that I am not getting. This is not a cheap service. I don't trust anything anyone says there, but I have no control to make it happen. There is not "higher" up to get transferred to to get this resolved. The most current case number is ********Business Response

I have a contract with this company for my business. We had untill January 6th of 2025 to call and cancel service so that a auto renewal would not be applied for another yearly contract. I did so October 8th 2024. To which I was told my account *** would call me within 48-72hrs. A weeks goes by with no call back. I call again, only to go over the same scenario. This happened yet again for a 3rd time with finally the *** calling back and confirming hed get my account cancelled. Fast forward to today January 15th and my account is in fact still active. So I call back YET again to find out there are three previous cases for this that were closed..with no resolutionbeing they kept my account active! And again the customer service *** makes a new case number and tells me my account *** will call me within 24-72hrs. This is beyond ridiculous and incompetent on part of the account ***, who I am now assuming has closed all three cases with no intention on canceling and closing my account. Now I am sitting on a 4th case to have my account canceled. I dont need someone calling me back to cancel a service that is not beneficial. Just cancel it as requested right then and there! At this point it feels like entrapment and theft by Verizon connect.. This is not who I want to do business or my company being affiliated with. The attached uploads shows the dates of them creating and closing my cases for the same request. This is dishonesty.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: A *** made contact we me stating the following "I understand your frustration regarding the renewal of your agreement. To clarify, your agreement requires a 60-day notice prior to the end date (November 7th, 2024) for termination or removal of the auto-renewal feature.
While I see your request to terminate service on 10/8/2024, this falls outside the required 60-day window, leading to the automatic renewal of your agreement.
To explore potential resolutions, I kindly request any documentation you may have that demonstrates a timely request for termination or removal of auto-renewal according to your agreement terms. This information would be beneficial in presenting your case to our finance department for review and consideration of an exception."As seen in my attachment, contact was to be made to Verizon Connect **************** BY 11/7/2024 to not auto-renew, therefor terminating service on 01/07/2025. This did not happen upon request made in OCTOBER. Instead they open and closed cases four times, with no resolution and very poor contact practices. Further more if I didn't give proper "60 day notice" prior to the *** above's "term date of 11/07/2024" to cancel, why didn't my account manager inform me of this when I spoke to him in late Oct 2024, why were there no email reminders to do so prior to that? Because its bs and improper poor management of my account! ************ is a joke that seemingly ignores customer requests ***eatedly, and what feels like training their employees to talk circles (sending redundant emails) around their customers, that's very indicative to the numerous complaints here on BBB that are very similar to my own. Again, not the type of business I want my business affiliated with. I'd advise the same to my clients and business partners. Very shady, dishonest business practices.

I am rejecting this response because: To my understanding from what I was told, it will take up to 2-billing cycles for my contract to be terminated. There has yet to be a credit to my upcoming statement (which has actually been applied to my Verizon wireless statements). There will likely be billing for January maybe even February. With waisting my time, stress and the run around this company has caused, I am actually going to wait until this contract has actually been canceled and there are no applied charges that I potentially have to deal with from Verizon Connect. Unfortunately this is the level of distrust.

In late 2022, I had signed up for Verizon Connect, a vehicle electronic logging device for a business that I was starting up in April 2023. I received the equipment and after multiple attempts to get it working, I requested to send the equipment back to Verizon Connect and cancel my account. I obtained a return authorization and sent back all equipment. My credit card was hit for about $200 total (3 separate charges totaling about $200). I questioned the charges and was told that Verizon Connect would take care of it. I then received a bill for $2,944.38 and had to cancel the credit card to avoid the charge being put onto the card. Any contact with Verizon results in them assigning a case number to me and then nothing happens. I have since been given to a collection agency and I try to explain what happened and they keep contacting me to pay. The best that they did was ask if I would settle for 1/2 and I said would they be paying me? The collection agency called me a few weeks ago and I told them not to contact me again regarding this. I don't know what to do at this point. The equipment was returned (all of it including any additional items that they sent me to try getting it working). If they checked their system, they would see that I never used the equipment. Looks like they ignored my return and then doubled the contract value for a year (I am guessing that is how they came up with the total).They never provided working equipment after multiple attempts.I would like a refund of the amount that I was billed and paid ($176.00) and a cancellation of the $2,944.38 that they say that I owe them. I want something in writing saying that I do not owe them anything. If this isn't taken care of, I intend to pursue legal action against them. I'm now at risk of my credit rating being affected by this.Business Response
