Verizon Raises Administrative Fees
January 10, 2012 – 10:06 am
I was pleased to learn that Verizon had scraped its idiot idea to assess a convenience fee for paying your bill on their website or on your phone (see Verizon Implements A New “Convenience Fee”). . . THEN I RECEIVED MY LATEST BILL! It seems that they are determined to get their $2.00 one way or the other. The new increase to the administrative fee is assessed on each telephone line, resulting in a $2.52 increase to my bill. A small part of the increase was due to an increase in the Federal Universal fee but most of the increase is the result of Verizon’s increased administrative fee. I called my local office to see if this increase meant our original contractual agreement was terminated – I have yet to get my answer. Stay tuned.
