Verizon Yellow Pages

When I started a new business in 2005 I received what I thought was a confirmation of my local yellow pages. I signed the back and returned it. Within a few months I started receiving bills for 297.I realized it was for a service I would never see as the bill comes from NJ-- it says charges for previously PUBLISHED editions. I went out of business within the year, but they are now sending bills to my home. It is up to 1782 which I cannot pay. The phone number is not even in service.

I am worried that they will come after me for the money and I cannot pay this and have no intention of paying it. I want the bills to stop.

We have been Advertising in the Yellow Pages for several years. Every year up to 2005/2006 we have gotten a phone call from Verizon to verify/make changes to our order. Since then the Add has appeared in the yellow pages, which we have paid reluctantly. I believe we spoke to them last year, told them this was the last year and that I did not want and did not sign up for the automatic renewal. And this year I called them on 6/17/08 at 1:35PM and told them we did not want to pay for the advertising.

The person I spoke to said they would take care of it, because no one authorized the order, it was an automatic renewal. This account has now gone into collections. I called today, spoke to Rosemary and was told it was too late and would have to pay the invoice. (I guess the cutoff this year is in April). When I told her I did not authorize the order, she just laughed and said we automatically renewed last year. The bottom line is they should be calling each year, like they have in the past to verify renewal and to see if there are any changes that need to be made. (Example: My address changed).

Received bill from Yellow Pages which I paid in the amount of 284. Thought they were affiliated with Yellow Book which has the same logo. Filed report with Better Business Bureau who was not able to obtain my refund. Add my name to the list of those scammed. Keep getting billed from these yahoos. Received another one today. Sure would like my money back plus damages!
