Verizon Landline Third-Party Billing Settlement Gets Final Approval
Â
Â
A federal judge last week granted final approval to a class action settlement between Verizon Communications Inc. and customers who say they were billed for unauthorized third-party charges to their landline phone bills. The approval comes with a new claim filing deadline of October 21, 2013, to receive either a $40 flat payment or a 100% refund of the unauthorized charges you paid.
Several notices of the Verizon third-party billing settlement have been mailed since it was preliminarily approved in February 2012. Each notice contained a different claim filing deadline:
Group 1: November 15, 2012
Group 2: June 7, 2013
Group 3: October 21, 2013
Class Members include 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.
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 here in our Open Class Action Lawsuits section.
If you filed a timely Claim Form for Group 1 or Group 2, your claim is currently in process and the Settlement Administrator will notify you in writing of the outcome of your claim.
The case is Desiree Moore, et al. v. Verizon, et al., Case No. 9-cv-1823 SBA, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California.

It is the middle of June,2014. You should have received enough interest on our money to pay us by now.
Having lawyers to represent us,question is how many appeals is Verizon aloud. I believe that they have received more then enough chances to present there case, now it time to pay the complaint. Group 1 case is now signed, now deliver.
I was sent a letter and it said that Verizon had already gave me a refund. I wrote back and told them I have NEVER been given any refund and have been waiting for my refund ever since I was notified. I think I would remember if I got my refund that I have been waiting for. Are they trying to get out of paying me my refund that is owed to me?
I did same thing responded to notice and they keep changing date i think it id fake
I never heard anything confirmation number 9M21PD6A
I am also awaiting my check.
I am also waiting for my check
#3annie McCoy I submitted a claim in the Group 1 claim when should I receive my check
When do we get our check.
I submitted a claim in the Group 1 claim. When should I expect to receive payment.
I was told that barring any appeals, we should expect payment in June/July, 2014. But if they file an appeal it could be later. I don’t see where any appeal has been filed so I’m hoping to see a check forthcoming this summer.
will I still be alive when we get our checks…
