Federal Class Action Settlement is Groundbreaking Victory Against Paper Fees!

In what is being hailed as a first of its kind triumph for American consumers, a prominent service provider will refund millions of dollars and halt the practice of charging fees to receive paper bills and statements.

The monumental victory was achieved recently when a federal Judge approved a settlement in a class action lawsuit brought by New York consumers against their trash hauler. In Heigl v. Waste Management of New York, LLC, the plaintiffs challenged the waste management company’s practice of charging customers a $6.50 fee to receive paper bills and statements.
