[ NNSquad ] Re: Verizon to charge $2 for each credit card payment without autopay

["Bob Frankston" <Bob19-0501@bobf.frankston.com>]

Is this the same company that was tying with the idea of a surcharge for
"less crappy" phone service? Perhaps Verizon is jealous of the airlines and
believes they can make money on nuisance charges. Unlike Bank of America the
carriers lock you in so they are betting you won't move for $2.

I've learned my lesson with Verizon's one-bill system about the dangers of
letting their billing engine run on autopilot. It took me a year to get back
$2000 in overcharges.
