Claim Form Deadline: April 15, 2024 (Passed)
Estimated Payout: $100
A significant $100 million class action settlement has been reached with Verizon regarding allegations that the company unfairly charged customers “Administrative Fees.” The lawsuit claims that Verizon employed bait-and-switch tactics by increasing these fees on post-paid phone bills without adequately disclosing them in marketing or contractual materials. Although Verizon denies any wrongdoing, they have agreed to fund the settlement to resolve the claims.
The expected payout for eligible customers is estimated to be between $20 and $100 each. Verizon had previously settled another class action related to unsolicited robocalls, which resulted in payouts of $71 to $143 per claim.
To qualify, you must be a current or former post-paid wireless or data subscriber of Verizon who was charged an “Administrative Charge” or “Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge” between January 1, 2016, and November 8, 2023. If you received a notice by mail or email, you are included in the Settlement Class.
Be sure to check your spam folder for any notice emails, as many customers have reported finding them there. The notice will provide details on your potential payout from the $100 million fund, along with a unique confirmation code and notice ID to help you file a claim.
Payments are estimated to be up to $100 per qualified claimant. The final amount will depend on factors such as the duration of service and the total number of valid claims submitted. Payments may be issued via check or electronic methods like Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or prepaid debit/credit cards.
To receive payment, you’ll need to provide your unique ID and confirmation number, which can be found in the email from the Verizon settlement administrators. If you did not receive an email but believe you qualify, please check the claim form website below for further instructions.
