Complaint Review: Verizon NY Verizon Payroll - Laurelton New York

I started working for verizon in June of 1989 after leaving a job with Cleanco Industrial Services as an asbestos abatement technician. There was an asbestos problem in the building that needed to be reported so I did. Other workers including myself were getting sick every 2 or 3 months to the point where you had to call in sick. OSHA shut the building down and made Verizon move us to a safe and healthy work environment.

As soon as we moved, I started getting levied by the IRS. City Marshals filing fake judgements against me and lastly, Verizon payroll employee's exploiting my personal information (Name, Address, Phone# Social Security number, Direct Deposit , Chase Banking information.This has been going on like clockwork ever since 1993 and I did not know where it was coming from. I was being levied 3-4 times a year, every year since 1994. On January 25, 2003 I was in a car accident and was not able to return to work until September 2003. I was never paid the entire time I was out.

When I returned back to work my pay stub stated I made $37,000 for the year so I immediately called the IRS. The IRS informed me that they see fraud with my social security number dating back to 1993 and it was all coming from Verizon Payroll. I reported this to the Local 1106 Union and instead of helping , they covered it up. The Queens District Attorney has had this since 2004 and he has done nothing. My bank account was frozen in July of 2007 for a credit card in a womans name and Florida address and she was using my social security number. The business the IRS levied me for from 1994-2003 was at the same address as the woman who had the credit card. It was Mei Rong Telecom and they were selling Verizon Pay telephone service using my identity information.

Over the Labor day weekend I was informed by a Chase representative that someone from Verizon was taking $500 dollars 2 times a day from my bank account. Chase gave me credit for only a thousand then froze my account the next day. City Marshall Henry Daley from Queens levied almost $7000 and Mary Hill Nixon from Verizon payroll was the one taking $1000 per day from my account. This is after years and years of reporting this. All of these events happened while Queens District Attorney Mike Albanese has had this case and he has done nothing.

This has completely destroyed me financially because I left Verizon in 2006 and never returned and never accepted any pay from Verizon. I officially quit January 12, 2007 and tried to hand them a resignation but they wouldn't accept it. They told me they would give me a buy out. Then they stole all of my retirement money and Vacation pay. I have a W2 here with me for 2007 after not working one day in 2007 and Mary Hill Nixon told me that I could not recieve any holiday or vacation pay because I did not work one day in 2007. The amount on the W2 adds up to this figure.

Again Nothing has been done. Mike Albanese. A cancellation for a PATS Certificate was filed in Bradenton Florida September 17,2003 four days after I reported this to Verizon and the Local 1106 Union in Jamaica Queens 718-479-1106. One of the reasons that I left was because the Verizon FiOS orders are set up to steal your Identity and I could not promote that after Everything that I have gone through. All of the customers Information including social security numbers are on these orders and the are given to one of us outside plant technicians and then just leave them where anyone can retrieve them.
