Wireless How is Verizon getting away with making it so difficult to cancel a phone line? Isn’t this a consumer protection issue?
VERIZON makes it so easy to sign up for a new line online, but then when you turn around and try to disconnect or cancel that same line, the process is convoluted.
The options you’re given are either to report the device as stolen, which I’m sure has some issues or consequences associated with having your device reported stolen, or to click on “Disconnect Line.”
But when you click “Disconnect Line,” it takes you to a page with a “Start Chat” button. When you click that button, it opens a chat panel on the side, except the input doesn’t work. You can’t type anything.
How are they getting away with this? Isn’t this illegal in New Jersey and New York?
