I pay my Verizon bill online.  It was the due date and low and behold they were having problems with their website which would not allow me to pay my bill ontime.  I sent them a nasty email saying that I would try again the next day to pay only to receive a "response" which was no response at all.  They did not charge me the $7 late charge plus 1.5% but I was left hanging until I received the next bill.  Crappy customer service, I agree.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PatriotsRKing]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 7:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon Bills Dead Customer, Requires PIN to Cancel Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</guid><description><![CDATA[No one should have to give their pin numbers to anyone in their family.

And personally I think I would have derived more pleasure setting a consumer group on them.

First of all if you keep these numbers in your home and ,God forbid, you have a break-in someone else gets these numbers!  If you don't set up a pin with Verizon all you need when you call in is the last 4 digits of your SS# and they take care of everything! So just don't set one up and your relatives should be fine because that's the question they ask!!  <br>Who writes this crap?  Do they ever actually do any research anymore or just babble things off the top of their heads!  That's why all the good journalists are retiring like Charlie Gibson because writers and newscasters just bable whatever they want and do nothing to verify the facts. Later they say oops and it's all ok!  Gee that's what their parent's sent them to college for! TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR WORK!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Linda Carannante]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 2:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon Bills Dead Customer, Requires PIN to Cancel Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</guid><description><![CDATA[Did you do any research? Verizon is notorious for ripping off its customers. The report came from an individual that told the story. Only a moron would claim that it is unequivocally false with out anything to back it up.  As the article says, Verizon refunded the money hence I would imagine that it is true. Perhaps you should get a grip on reality before you post ridiculous comments.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kermit]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 3:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon Bills Dead Customer, Requires PIN to Cancel Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</guid><description><![CDATA[Linda, you must work for Verizon. They should have accepted the the daughter's death certificate and STFU. PIN numbers are private, and maybe her father's death was unexpected (they didn't say).  This particular employee at Verizon is a moron and should at a minimum be reprimanded -- if it is company policy, then they need to change it! Good for her for going to the newspaper. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 3:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon Bills Dead Customer, Requires PIN to Cancel Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</guid><description><![CDATA[You sound like you work for verizon.  I believe every word of this story. Verizon is a bunch of idiots. I know a Lady who is with Verizon who used have her account set up to have her payment automatically deducted each month from her account but no more because Verizon took her monthly payment but kept taking it to the tune of 4 in that week. The only way she stopped it was went to the bank and stopped it.  Needless to say she no allows them to automatically deduct anything from her account.  ATT and TMobile is no better.  People like to talk about Sprint. I have been with Sprint for years and could not be any happier.   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joseph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 7:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon Bills Dead Customer, Requires PIN to Cancel Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/07/verizon-bills-dead-customer-requires-pin-to-cancel-account/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's called a PIN for a reason - personal, as in mine.
