BUSINESS TOP QUESTIONS: Do you have an inoperative circuit?: Are you a member of the class? How do you spot one? How much is the potential refund? -- Applies to all small businesses, schools, government agencies, banks, etc.

SUMMARY:

Are you paying for a phone service that are inoperative --- no longer in use, damaged or simply doesn't exist? This case is specifically about special circuits commonly known as non-switched analog circuits. See the FAQ.

MOST IMPORTANT: If you have one of these circuits, you must determine if the current circuit is working or whether you are being billed for something that is no longer in service. Teletruth has set up a hotline to help customers through this process as well as audit phone bills for further mistakes --- and refunds.

The refunds can be large: For example, if a customer is paying for an inoperative burglar alarm circuit, they could be entitled to refunds ranging from $600 or over $2,300 for a low-speed data circuit.
