Things were pretty clear except when information was entered and kept getting message that information was not correct. Would change information or attempt to change and get same message. Then received message "maxed out. Told by Verizon to try again in few hours.
Extremely happy to just receive message that verification was complete! All is good!

For starters, I have not been able to access my account for a year going on two! My UE local has been a nightmare… my information has been highjacket and I haven't been able to reach anyone on ID.me to correct it! Yesterday was the first day someone actually responded to me and helped me (supposedly) update my information but I still can not log in to my account to verify any information,,, I've lost everything trying to get back on my feet! The way they have plugged themselves in between the customer and the Govt. Puts them in the position to help or ignore real problems without any resolution… bottom line is I need help and they are not helping. Everything on here is a bot or someone without any idea how to follow through and make sure they have resolved your issue…what part of help! Do they not understand? I will give them yet another opportunity to help me but if all these past reviews are correct… I'm in trouble!
