MINNEAPOLIS, March 20, 2020 The following is being released by CenturyLink and Settlement Class Counsel from the law firms Zimmerman Reed LLP, O'Mara Law Group, and Geragos & Geragos APC for In re: CenturyLink Sales Practices and Securities Litigation.
A Settlement has been proposed in a class action involving the billing practices of CenturyLink. The case was filed against CenturyLink by several customers alleging CenturyLink engaged in unfair and deceptive billing practices. CenturyLink denies wrongdoing and liability and both sides disagree on how much, if anything, the Class could have recovered after trial. The court has not decided which side is right. But both sides have agreed to settle the case and provide certain benefits to CenturyLink customers in order to avoid the costs of continued litigation.
