How to get my verizon iphone unlocked so I can get on StraightTalk?

I'm still on a contract with verizon but want to get on straighttalk. My parents pay the bill but haven't paid it in a while and don't plan on due to verizon charging for what we don't have and won't fix it. I bought a straight talk kit but is saying the phone is locked. How do I fix it?

Take the phone down to Verizon, and get it unlocked. That is, if Verizon is willing to do so.

As long as there's money owed on the account they will not unlock the phone
