This article is about a less recent, $14 Million open class action settlement against AT&T had been previously settled as a result of a class action lawsuit against AT&T for deceptive marketing and consumer practices. The lawsuit claimed that certain AT&T customers, specifically post-paid wireless customers were paying a monthly "admin" fee. The lawyers, or plaintiffs in the filed class action lawsuit alleged that this administrative fee is deceptive, and that customers were not informed of it properly.

AT&T has not admitted to any wrongdoing. However, they reached a settlement to avoid court proceedings, which could involve significant fees, costs, time, and a potential loss that results in a larger judgement.
