I have a dispute with Verizon Wireless over a debt which I believe I paid. I don't have proof of this, so I am going to pay again. The debt is not large, but Verizon has severely damaged my credit rating with some very skeevy, and according to the FTC, illegal reporting practices. They have *never* sent me a single collection notice.
I don't trust them. If they don't fix their story after I send them payment, I plan to sue.
Is a cashed check considered evidence? Is it an admissible document in court? Is the tracking information from a USPS Money Order considered evidenciary? They claim that they can provide information as to whether or not the money order has been cashed. I would prefer to not send them any document containing my bank account numbers considering that many disgruntled consumers claim that Verizon defrauds them via multiple charges to credit cards or other direct bank payment methods.
Am I being reasonable in demanding a way to send their payment in a way that requires a signature on their end? If I send either via USPS Registered mail or a private carrier like FedEx, does the signature or receipt they collect constitute evidence?
Am I reasonable in demanding to present payment in person using a trackable financial instrument?
Is their any point at which I can claim that Verizon's claim for payment is invalid because they fail to provide a way to receive a legal tender payment which is acceptable to me?
Thank you!
