Verizon allowed someone living in Petersburg, TN (family member) to pay a phone bill from MY checking account. She used my routing number and account number and the name on MY account is NOTHING LIKE HERS OR ADDRESS.
I would think someone would get a RED FLAG from this and give the person owing the checking account a phone call... hay, how hard would that have been. Instead, they just take the money causing me to bounce checks since I live on a fixed income and live from month to month. The end of the month usually broke. This "thoughtless" person knew all this and still stole from me. Verizon owes me $96.00 and I won't quit until I get it.
I will keep on and keep on. Just like if I owed THEM $96.00 they would turn me over to collections... well, this too is not going away...
There has to be some kind of way to avoid allowing some dumb butt to just take a routing number and account number that DOESN'T MATCH BY NAME OR ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER... DUHHHHH people... CHECK IT OUT... you cost me MORE than just money.
