Go Get Your Refunds From Sprint and Verizon Fast
- 8 years ago
Verizon and Sprint may owe you a late Christmas present in the form of cold, hard cash, but you’re going to have to get a move on.
Back in May, the two telecommunications giants agreed to a $158 million settlement with the FTC after the regulatory agency found that both companies allowed third parties to charge customers for “premium” texts without their knowledge or consent.
The practice, now known as “cramming,” is clearly illegal, and if you were unfairly billed for it, you might be owed some money.
But you only have until December 31, 2015 to file a claim for your refund.
In 2014, both AT&T and T-Mobile had to settle similar lawsuits as well, paying $105 million and $90 million respectively.
