How to Get Your Sprint Nextel ETF Settlement Money

[DaveLager]

If you are or were a Sprint Nextel wireless customer you're likely eligible to receive up to $90 from a settlement reached in a class action lawsuit against Sprint Nextel Corporation! This simple guide shows you how to get your Sprint Nextel ETF settlement money. Please note that this article doesn't constitute legal advice or serve as a substitute for consultation with an attorney.

The lawsuit alleges that the early termination fee (ETF) with which Sprint threatens any customers who attempt to end their wireless contracts early violates the Federal Communications Act as well as various local consumer protection laws. Sprint has agreed to pay $14 million into a common fund in order to settle this lawsuit. To receive money from this settlement you need to be part of the settlement class.

To be eligible, you must have gotten your personal wireless contract (either Sprint or Nextel) between July 1st, 1999 and December 31st, 2008. If you had to pay an ETF because you terminated your one or two year contract within the first three or six months of your contract, respectively, you can get a check for $25. If you had to pay an ETF because you ended your contract after this (but before the contract expired) you can get a check for $90. If you had a personal wireless account during this time period and desired to cancel your account but didn't because of the ETF, you're eligible to receive a $35 check.

In order to file a claim for your check, visit http://www.sprintetfsettlement.com and follow the 'File a Claim' link at the top left. Before you do this, you should read the 'Long Form Notice' to find out more information about the settlement class category that you may fall into (including alternate methods of compensation that may be available).
