THIRD-PARTY CHARGES (PREMIUM SERVICES CHARGES) SETTLEMENT WITH THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU (CFPB), FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) AND STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL (AGS)
Sprint has reached a multi-agency settlement related to unauthorized third-party charges, and has agreed to a refund program for unauthorized charges from third parties that may have been placed on Sprint wireless bills on or after July 1, 2010.
Sprint has been a leader in the industry to ensure that companies providing these services cannot take advantage of our customers, and has monitored and stopped companies from these activities, as well as very freely provided millions of dollars in credits to customers who alert us to unauthorized charges.
To continue its policy of reimbursing customers where appropriate, Sprint is working with a company to administer refunds and credits to customers who will claim under oath that certain charges for Premium Services (such as ringtones, daily horoscopes, etc.) from third-party companies were unauthorized on their cell phone bills.
