Good news to Verizon customers, you might just be one of the recipients of a settlement from the company.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that current and former postpaid customers of the carrier can be among those to get as much as $100 each after a class-action suit settlement. It was alleged that Verizon charged its postpaid customers “a monthly Administrative Charge and/or Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge (collectively ‘Administrative Charge’) that was unfair and not adequately disclosed.”
If you were a customer who used the carrier’s wireless or data services between the dates of January 1, 2016 and November 8, 2023, you are among those entitled to receive a settlement.
The report shares that eligible customers will receive a notice by snail mail or email. You will be asked to visit a website so you can file your claim. But you will only have until April 15th to do this. Once a claim has been filed, you won’t be able to sue Verizon individually over such charges.
If you don’t do anything by February 20th, you won’t be entitled to receive part of the settlement nor sue the carrier anymore. But if you previously announced that you wish to opt out of the settlement, you can still opt to sue the carrier individually.
Court documents revealed that Verizon settled the lawsuit for $100 million. The amount you can claim will depend on how long you have been a customer during when the allegedly unfair and inadequately disclosed charges were implemented.
