how can Verizon charge me a fee when its thru my account thru my fee...and the other question is WHY?...it gets them their money quick but if they want to deal with stamps and letters and check cashing, then so be it....
How? Easy! They just add it to your bill! Then, if you don't pay it, they turn your phone off!
See how it works now?
The fee they’re charging is when you pay online through the Verizon website, which is basically a pull out of your account.
When you pay through your banks web site, you’re pushing the money to them. They get the full amount, and your bank is free to charge you or not for this service.
Which is why I don’t pay any bill online or by phone unless its an emergency! I write and mail a check.
Verizon scraps $2 fee
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Well, that didn’t take long.
Verizon said Friday that it was scrapping a controversial $2 fee for one-time bill payments announced just a day earlier. The announcement had immediately sparked an uproar online from customers irate about the prospect of incurring further fees simply by paying existing ones.
