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 have never received anything other than the postcard for the first notice and the phone number no longer works. Is there ANY recourse for all of us??????

Update– 6/10/18 – No check. Anybody have an info as to what is going on with this??
no check
I also never received the check. It’s September 2017, the settlement information number is disconnected and the website is down…?
Not only did I never receive a check, but the http://www.verizonthirdpartybillingsettlement.com website no longer works. So it looks like only the lawyers are getting paid for this one.
Going into 2017 and still haven’t received my 40 check. I believe Verizon is waiting for half the people to pass away then they will mail some checks. But I have gotten even. I cancelled all my Verizon services a couple of years ago and will never go back even if it costs me more from another provider just on principle. Will reconsider if I get the check.
I’m with you John…here it is March 2017 and no check. So I too have cancelled our Verizon account after doing business with them for many many years and have no intention of going back as I seriously doubt any of us with see any of the settlement. My wife and I decided to try tracfone and have been pleasantly surprised not to mention saving a boatload of money.
I filed a claim with Group 1 and have still not received any money. Am I ever going to get it?
Has anyone gotten the $40.00?
Its now 4/22/2016 and Ive heard nothing, no check, no letter, no way to get current answers by a real person.BTW are we getting Interest for all the time were waiting?
August 31-2015. To date No check,no correspondence since 04/23/12.
Never got a letter ar a check . I got nothing . Filed as soon as I got the notice. Probably never will get anything.
