FINALLY!
It’s been a few years in the making but it looks like the rubber is finally going to hit the road when it comes to hidden cellphone fees in Canada! How?
Try the largest class action lawsuit in Canadian history taking aim at ALL of the major providers: Bell Mobility, TELUS, Rogers, SaskTel, MTS, and Aliant. That’s a lot of phones. That’s a lot of money. How much? How’s $20 billion sound?
What could this mean to me (and potentially 15 million other Canadians who use cellphones)? If the suit is successful, it could mean an average payout of $600 to $700 per customer, depending on the length of time they’ve been paying the fees. That probably got your attention.
For full details, check out what The Times in Victoria, British Columbia had to say today here.
I think this quote from the lawyer who started the suit back in 2004, Tony Merchant, pretty much sums it up:
It would cut off the crack cocaine addictions that the companies have to these hidden profits.
