Verizon Landline Third-Party Billing Class Action Settlement

By Kimberly Mirando

 

Verizon
 
Verizon has reached a class action lawsuit settlement over allegations it illegally billed landline phone customers for third-party charges. If you were billed for one of these charges, you may be entitled to either a $40 flat payment or a 100% refund of the unauthorized charges you paid.

The Verizon third-party billing settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, entitled Moore, et al. v. Verizon, et al., alleging that Verizon billed its landline customers for charges from third-party companies that were not authorized by the customer (a practice known as “cramming”), in violation of federal and state law.

Verizon denies any wrongdoing, but has agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid ongoing litigation.

The Verizon third-party billing class action lawsuit settlement covers all Verizon landline customers nationwide (including individuals, businesses and local governmental entities) who were billed for third-party charges from April 27, 2005 through February 28, 2012.

Class Members will be able to recover 100% of all money they paid in unauthorized third-party charges during that period by submitting a “Full Payment Claim” or recover a refund of $40 by submitting a “Flat Payment Claim.” Both forms will be available at www.verizonthirdpartybillingsettlement.com and must be submitted by November 15, 2012. There is no dollar cap on the monetary recovery to be paid under the Settlement.
 
Some Settlement Class Members may have a claim for hundreds or thousands of dollars in refunds from the Verizon third-party billing class action settlement. That’s why it’s important that Verizon landline customers take advantage of one of the benefits available to them under the class action lawsuit settlement, which provides a free summary of all third-party charges they incurred. You can request this summery here or by calling the Settlement Administrator at (877) 772-6219.

    it is march 4th 2014…..What is going on ? I thought this was finalized…. why haven’t I seen my money that someone illegally charged me in past years. I’m looking to be reinbursted. I turned in all my papers in the time frame that I was told and also found out that the case was won. So what is the problem with paying the customers back that you over charged it is our money that you took ….. looking for my money that I am owed because you incorrectly charged me for many years..

    .thank you …..it has been about a year since the the lawsuit was settled so whats the excuse now??

    And would you believe I’m still waiting for my $40, too!

    Meanwhile, Verizon has managed to overbill me by a couple hundred dollars by completely unrelated means. They do seem to have a gift for this sort of thing.
