Anybody familiar with it the settlement it seems legit but it’s only $100 I avoid getting mixed up with garbage like this just wondering if others looked into it further or heard much about it.

Received the "possible" settlement solicitation letter, something about a 3rd party overcharging (or Verizon junk fees, depending on who you believe) & Verizon passing on the charges to Verizon customers if I interpreted it correctly.

If you are a long time customer you supposedly could receive up to $100, or as low as $15 if you are a short time customer...The suit is waiting on a fairness hearing, and you must respond by a determined date of April, 15.

I dropped them not so long ago after 20 years they just kept getting worse year after year. The last straw was when they offered a discount then changed my service and that increased my monthly bill so was paying more. The customer service was a nightmare IF you ever got through to them.

Yeah, they have gone downhill...Added some details to my original post....Bet you qualify for $100 if the suit is finalized.

we have them 12 0R so yrs

it's the only servicethat works well out here

Verizon Mobile Customers Could Split $100 Million Settlement. Here’s How.
By Janet H. Cho

Verizon

VZ

mobile phone customers could share a proposed $100 million class action settlement over monthly fees that people suing the communications company claim were unfairly charged and improperly disclosed. But those who want to claim their share of that money need to act by April 15.

A lawsuit in New Jersey said U.S. customers who signed up for Verizon’s wireless service plans at certain monthly rates ended up paying more than what was advertised because of administrative fees, which weren’t disclosed its advertisements or representations.

Customers who filed the lawsuit said that Verizon “implemented, charged, and increased the Administrative Charge in a deceptive and unfair manner.”

Verizon Communications

could not immediately be reached for comment. Verizon has denied that it did anything wrong or that the lawsuit has any merit, according to a notice of the proposed settlement.

The charges, starting at 40 cents a month for each phone line in 2005, have increased multiple times, rising to $3.30 a line in 2022, according to the complaint. Charges were applied to each phone line on a customer’s account, so a family plan with five lines would pay five administrative charges a month.

Verizon has said it would continue to charge the administrative charge and has the right to increase it, but that as part of the settlement, the company will amend its customer agreement to better disclose those administrative charges, according to a court document.

For the proposed settlement, eligible customers are being notified by email or mail. They include Verizon postpaid wireless or data services customers who were charged and paid an administrative charge or an administrative and telco recovery charge between Jan. 1, 2016, and Nov. 8, 2023.

To stake a claim on the settlement, current and former Verizon mobile customers have to file for it online at this site

or by mail.

The lawsuit could cover as many as 50 million customers nationwide. Eligible consumers who file claims by the deadline could get up to $100, but the amount could vary depending on how long they were Verizon subscribers and how many others file claims.

Court-approved amounts for settlement administration, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other costs will be deducted from the settlement fund. The minimum people could receive is $15, plus $1 for each month the customer received wireless or data services and paid the administrative charge.

The size of the settlement is likely not going to be material to Verizon’s financial results. Analysts expect full year 2023 net income of $19.8 billion when the company reports earnings later in January, according to FactSet. Such class action lawsuits and settlements with companies aren’t uncommon.

People can opt out of the settlement by Feb. 20 and give up their claims to the cash, but retain their right to sue Verizon about the issues in the lawsuit, according to information accompanying the notice of settlement. Those who do nothing won’t get any payments and give up their right to sue.

I finally got out from under Verizon and their corrupt business practices! Went to Patriot Mobile and life is good.

I moved to ATT it’s better but I’m on responder chip that adds towers to the coverage their customer service is better then Verizon ever was.

Verizon is poor but the best reception in the Sandhills.
I haven't got a letter.

I would not go far for a 100 bucks thats not enough for breakfast at Mc Donalds for a family

Send me a check for $50 I’ll call it good.

I predict like most other class action suits, the attorneys will milk it for all its worth and the commoners may receive $15...if that.

Believe the attorney's have already settled on $33.3 million out of the $100 million lawsuit. Why does everyone believe lawyers are blood sucking parasites? Lol.

Waiting on a "fairness" trial now....Wonder if Trump will get one of those?

I've been a long-time Verizon Wireless customer. Where do I sign up for my C-note?

Lots of info online along with the sign up info.

I received a settlement check from a different class action lawsuit against Verizon about 10 years ago. I never cashed the check but I did keep it for framing: Check grand total of 1 cent. Could not believe my eyes that I got a check for 1 cent!

I free month would beat getting anykind of settlement check.

I dropped ATT since I could not get any reception with them at my trapping and camping areas here in the Rockies. Verizon covered most of the same area. However, it may have changed in the last few years.

I ran both phones at the same time a few years ago one was a State phone ATT and my phone at the time was Verizon on the Warden/Ranger job along the Missouri river breaks. Not much difference in the 2 really here, they both have weak areas some places the radios done even work.

Went into the digital application, and don't see a option for cutting a check...Not going to give them my credit card number, not a lawyer on earth I trust with that.

Filed mine last week.
Several options for payment including Pay Pal I believe.
I opted for direct deposit to my Bill Pay account if awarded. ( that's how I paid my bill every month ).
I switched from Verizon to T mobile a year or so ago.
Couldn't budget Verizon ( Monthly Bill was never the same. )
Fluctuating monthly add on charges.
GRRRRR !!!!

I received an email today that I am one of the accounts that could file. They gave me a link to go to for more information and a form to fill out and mail in.

We got 97 dollars from sprint today. Been long enough we forget we filed for it.

Found it!...Thanks, just printed the form to receive a physical check if this thing pans out.
