Verizon Landline Third-Party Billing Class Action Settlement
By Kimberly Mirando
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.
Claim forms and more information on your rights in the Verizon Landline Third-Party Billing Class Action Lawsuit Settlement can be found at www.verizonthirdpartybillingsettlement.com. You can also find detailed instructions for how to file a claim in our Open Lawsuit Settlements section.

Give me my money back beach !
its my money!!!!!!!!and I want it now…….!!!!!
where did I find out how much money
They have added extra charges to my bill several times. I check my bill faithfully every month because of this. They always give me credit for what they tried to rip off.
I WANT MY MONEY BACK NOW!!! and with interest.
I’m shopping for a new provider now.Berliet onsapb
They are the worst company I have ever dealt with in my life! Every month calling and getting nowhere…Hopefully this will be a welcome relief for the exhorbedent amounts of money I had to pay them over the years. They would always tell me, that’s not our dept., that’s the cell phone side of the co., or that’s not our dept., it’s the landline side of the company. We do not work together, so you will have call them directly., etc. I would never ever recommend that company to anyone!
I got the card in the mail today…immediately requested the info for a full payment…why should anyone accept only $40…for almost 6 years being charged that comes to about .55 cents a month…the charges have had to be higher than that…I WANT THE MONEY BACK AND ALL OF IT !!
I want all my money back owed to me—these big companies are freaking rip offs & it should be paid back w/interest —–

read the instructions, it tells you what you need to do, you can opt for a one time payment of $40.00 or if you would like your full payment, you have to download the form or call the number to request a paper form in the mail, fill out the form and mail it back, at that point, they will do what they need to do on their end and respond back to you. thats what i get from it anyway. But who knows how much is due to you if any at all??? im not sure, but im sure there is a way they can research your billing statments to find a dollar amount.
If I’m owed over $40.00, why should I accept only $40.00. I don’t think so. Give me what Verizon took from me!
