Consumers who filed the lawsuit that Verizon implemented, charged and escalate the Admin Charge in an unfair manner and deceptive”
Verizon has told it would continue to charge the admin charge and has the legal right to escalate it. However as part of the settlement, the organization will change its consumer agreement to better reveal those admin charges according to a court document.
The charges, initiated at 40 cents a months for each cell line in 2005, have escalate various times, increasing to $3.30 a line in 2022 according to the complaint. Charges were applied to each cell line on a consumer account so a family policy with 5 lines would pay 5 admin charges per month.
