Verizon $100M Settlement Sparks Outrage Over $3.85 Payout

Verizon customers are expressing frustration after receiving payouts from the company’s $100 million settlement, which was resolved after claims that it misled users between 2016 and 2023. The settlement was made available to current and former Verizon account holders who were affected by the telecom’s alleged failure to disclose fees for its wireless service plans.

While Verizon did not admit to any wrongdoing, the company agreed to distribute the settlement funds, with the maximum payout being set at $100. However, many customers have taken to social media to voice their anger after receiving much smaller amounts than expected.

One user shared a screenshot revealing a payout of just $3.85, expressing disbelief and frustration: “I need to see the court documents,” she wrote. “Y’all got me f**ked up.” Another user sarcastically posted, “Thanks for the $5.63 from the settlement,” while others received amounts as low as $3.55.

Users have been reporting a wide range of payouts, from $3.55 to $14.81, with some mockingly commenting, “That Verizon settlement made me rich.” Although the maximum payout was supposed to be $100, payments are varying depending on the number of claims filed. Some customers are upset that they have received only a fraction of the expected amount, while others are questioning the fairness of the distribution.

The deadline for filing claims was in April 2024, and payments are being processed in stages. Verizon customers are receiving their checks either by mail or electronically, but the amounts have left many feeling dissatisfied. Meanwhile, other settlement opportunities are being highlighted, such as a $7,000 payout related to a data breach settlement with Tampa General Hospital.
