http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/452/RipOff0452294.htm

and I’m very happy to announce that i just received a call from verizon telling me that i can get out of my contract with not EFT. She was very apologetic about the mixed information i got from the other reps. She gave me her number and extension and told me whenever i finish porting my number to give her a call and she also noted my account.

For a moment i questioned myself for wanting to get off verizon but that moment was shortly lived since i remember all the rude and obnoxious reps i talked to before. And because i want an iphone..

Note to Verizon abide to your contract and don’t ever ever F with me again

Wed, 07 Feb 2007 18:40:13 +0000 http://www.blackberrycool.com/2007/02/07/003521/#comment-86043 I read a similar article a month back about the loophole to get out of contract and was able to get out of my verizon contract using it. They were very forceful and tried to use the same argument of “this is not materially adverse”. I then asked the young lady what constitutes materially adverse by the company definition. she gave me an example of raising the voice plan price. I asked by what amount and she said “$10″. I said “where in the contract does it state what amount constitutes it? I’m holding the contract and that is no where. You are interpreting the contract and I am doing the same.” She went and got her supervisor and I used the same logic on the supervisor. Long story short, I was able to get off.

Best advice I can give is stay calm, stay logical and try to trap them in their own words. the more questions you ask the more chances for them to slip up and give you a chance to break out.

It WILL be tough because they probably have received orders from up top by now not to let anyone out. they’d rather face a class-action because they know it’ll take more work on the consumer part than theirs so most consumers will just give up. (remember this knowledge has been out for nearly 2 months and verizon reads the same phone blog/enthusiast sites that we do)

They wouldnt budge… I ended up filing a FCC complaint, and their Office of the President of Cingular called. They still disagreed with me, but when i asked for them to send me a copy of my contract, they were unable to find it… when i asked how they could hold me to a contract they have no record of, the folded and removed it from my account and allowed me to cancel with no fee.
Try asking for a copy :)
