Cell phone deposits? OK i had a previous bill with a cell phone mover

OK i had a previous bill with a cell phone mover that went into collections. I paid it past its sell-by date. Is there any way of me getting verizon service minus paying a deposit

not really. I used to trade cell phones and the cell companies see having an outstanding bill with another mover as a red flag.
YOu might be able to talk to a supervisor ( I worked within a call center ) and or their boss SOMETIMES they can but its rare. Just reimburse he deposit, keep your bill clean for 1 yr later get the deposit back ( thats how it worked next to the company I worked for )
Or do pre pay. If you know you're a talker and can't settle high bills then pre wages is good, cause it will constrict you unless you pay that high set off up front BUT alltel has the best rate for pre pay, I dont know if you enjoy that in your area, verizon sucks when it comes to ppay.
IF you own any other questions you can email me

You may still hold to pay a deposit if you go to Verizon Wireless' stores.

Let's say-so if you go to an "urban" phone store, then you probably won't stipulation a deposit - you'll have a Verizon Wireless account.

Answer:
Verizon will access your consumer credit report to obtain your general credit rating. In most cases, Verizon will access your Transunion report. What you will stipulation to do is obtain a copy of your credit report and verify what negative remarks (trade-lines) appear on the report. If in that are any, dispute them as "not being your." Once your credit report has no refusal remarks, try to apply for your Verizon service.

You would probably have to apply next to them to get that answer. Usually, if you have distrustful credit history, cell phone service providers require a deposit. Otherwise, it's prepaid for you.
