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.

I also am waiting…I applied when this lawsuit was started. Will any of us ever see any reimbursement?
And — today, I got a similar letter regarding a case against my then-cell phone provider, AT&T! Still waiting for Verizon after years — I did receive a letter from the Verizon people indicating that they owed me slightly less than the original complaint — but still over $200. Guess it’s time to start collecting cans and string!
No check for me either.
This is a joke. No one will even answer emails or phone messages. The lawyers kept the money no checks for any of us.
Still no check here
Well August is gone and September almost over and still NO checks
i spoke to the lawyer and was told that the settlement checks would go out around August/September
Did you get your check
I spoke to the lawyers in the case and they could not give me a definitive date when the settlement checks would go out but, they did say that it would be sometime around September 25, 2014.
I would like to know why it takes so long for a settlement, when the customer has money coming to them but when the phone company raises the bill they dont wait they tell you to pay now not fair to wait this long they know how to take our money that dont belong to them from us. Now it is time to give us our money back. shame shame shame on them.
Well here it is Aug 2014 & I am still owed a substantial amount from Verizon. Anyone have any ideas of when payment is forthcoming? Has ANYONE even heard of someone legitimately getting anything from Verizon (besides ignored) Thank you
