So I went to buy gas today and my card was declined.. Well that was strange.. I knew I was kind of broke (I'm in grad school.. it's a poor way of life) but I should have at least some money in my account.
So I get home and check my bank account to see if something went through that I had forgotten about... Not exactly... I have a $155.66 charge from verizon... I don't use verizon.. I've never used verizon... So I talk to my bank and they tell me to talk to verizon. I call up verizon but because I don't have an account there's nothing for them to look up.. And since verizon is a big company with many divisions (landlines, wireless, internet, etc.) they have to try to track down who charged me. Once they track down who charged me, it'll take a couple of weeks to process a refund... So I go back to my bank and file an unauthorized charge form. They'll look into it too. But that will also take a couple of weeks. I'm out $155.66 for a few weeks and have no idea if someone is using my account or if I was charged by mistake.. Everyone is "looking into it" and in the mean time I'm screwed. just had to vent for a minute |

Some will issue temporary credit for a disputed unauthorized debit. If it's a credit card, report it as lost/stolen. New number issued promptly, but still have to wait for a card to physicall use it. |

Verizon is horrible. When I was with them, they always messed my billing up. That sucks you have to deal with them when you're not even a customer.
