How Do I Dispute Charges on My Verizon FiOS Bill?

Verizon FiOS, a subsidiary of Verizon, is a telecommunications company offering bundles of Internet, telephone, and television services that operate on a fiber-optic network. This type of network is typically faster than other network connections. Currently, Verizon FiOS is offered in nine states across the United States and is used by more than five million customers. If you have a charge on your Verizon FiOS bill you want to dispute, follow these simple steps.

First, Verizon recommends you look up specific charges in its Billion Glossary to review common charges you may not be aware of. If that doesn't explain your concerns, make sure to review your previous bill. Your current bill may be higher if you only made a partial payment or missed a payment the month prior.

Check Verizon FiOS' Help Forum

Before reaching out to Verizon FiOS's customer service, check the online Help Forum to see if someone has an answer for you. Someone else may have experienced a similar problem and already have an explanation.

If there isn't an explanation for the charges, you can reach out to Verizon to dispute the fees.

Contact Verizon FiOS Customer Service Via Phone

You can call into the Verizon FiOS Customer Service team. You will need to provide some personal and account details to verify your identity. Explain the charges you want to dispute and make sure to include the exact amount you want to be refunded as well as the transaction date. If the customer service agent approves the refund on the spot or says it needs to be reviewed further, ask for an email confirmation. Keep the customer service agent on the line until you've received the email and have had a chance to review it for accuracy.
