Just weeks left to apply for a share of Verizon's $100 million settlement

Описание: Some Verizon wireless customers could soon be entitled to part of a proposed $100 million settlement that the company has agreed to pay to settle a class action lawsuit.

But in order to get any money, which could be up to $100 each but will likely be a lot less, you have to file a claim and now have less than a month to apply.

The case involves a lawsuit where customers claimed Verizon charged a monthly administration fee that "was unfair and not adequately disclosed," something the company has continued to deny, according to a claims website set up by a settlement administrator.

While agreeing to the proposed settlement to resolve the lawsuit, Verizon has denied any wrongdoing and plans to continue to charge the administration fee at the center of the lawsuit. As part of the settlement, the company plans to adjust its customer agreement to include revised disclosures about the charge.

"Verizon clearly identifies and describes its wireless consumer Admin Charge multiple times during the sales transaction, as well as in its marketing, contracts and billing," Rich Young, a spokesperson for Verizon, said in a statement when the settlement was announced earlier this year. "This charge helps our company recover certain regulatory compliance, and network related costs. As always, our Company stands committed to transparency and the clear disclosure of all consumer charges and fees."
