Vermont’s attorney general says the state will receive $45,000 as part of a $3 million multistate settlement with Vonage Holdings Corp., an Internet-based telephone company.
Vermont and 31 other states had reached a settlement that requires Vonage to changes how it markets its service and handles consumer cancellation requests.
Attorney General William Sorrell says many consumers were charged activation and regulatory fees and taxes during trial periods.
He says the settlement requires Vonage to refund eligible consumers and honor their decisions to cancel the service.
