I have no idea how they received the information to attach these charges of $13.62 to my Centurytel telephone bill. When I seen the added charges I called the telephone number provided spent a hour and half on hold and finaly spoke to repesentive that agreed to give me a conformation number to remove the charges from my account. But then I find out that my telephone calls have been directed to another voice mail that I have no idea how to access. And then they put it back on my telephone without my knowledge I run a business from my home and had no idea my calls were being directed to another telephone when I am not home.

On my Verizon landline bill for January I noticed an extra charge under Miscellaneous Charges and Credits and there was a charge for NW Voicemail 1X Setup @ 15.74 plus Fed and State tax of .79 bringing the total to $16.53. I called ILD and they explained this charge was from a internet contest to win $1000.00 in free groceries. Times are hard and I may have entered what obviously is a bogus contest however they had my mother's maiden name incorrect so now I don't think so.

Anyway to make a long story short the operator at ILD is reversing the charges and provided me with confirmation. To prevent further problems like this in the future I contacted service and sales with Verizon and they have put a third party block on my account. To google ILD Teleservices I found this company has also been heavily reported to consumer affairs website.
