BACKGROUND

The Minnesota Attorney General’s lawsuit alleged that CenturyLink misrepresented the price of the internet and television service it sold to consumers by promising one price but charging a higher price instead. The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office settled this lawsuit. Under the settlement, CenturyLink has been required to change the way it does business in Minnesota by honestly disclosing its prices. The company also agreed to pay money that can be used to compensate consumers who were charged more than they were promised.


REFUND OPTIONS

If you were over-billed you have two options. First, you may choose to receive a flat fee payment of up to $480. Second, you may instead choose to submit your CenturyLink bills showing the amount that CenturyLink over-billed you if it was more than $480.

Regardless of which option you choose, you must file a claim by December 16, 2022 to receive your refund. You can submit a claim by clicking the Submit Claim button on this website, or mail the claim form you received in the mail to the claims administrator at: MN AG Century Link Settlement, c/o Settlement Administrator, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia PA 19103.
