The lawsuit claims that Verizon Wireless violated California's consumer protection laws by imposing the ETF. Four people in California are suing Verizon on behalf of other class members (which includes anyone who had a personal wireless service from July 23,1999 to AUgust 10 2008 and paid an ETF fee). If they win then Verizon will pay $21million into a fund which will reimburse those who have paid this fee, etc...
As much as I hated paying the ETF, I don't know if I can morally make a claim since I knew what I was signing. The deadline to make a claim was today.
