Minnesota Suing CenturyLink for Allegedly Overbilling Customers

Attorney General Lori Swanson filed the lawsuit in Anoka County District Court

MINNESOTA — Minnesota is suing CenturyLink for allegedly over billing customers after quoting lower rates.

Attorney General Lori Swanson filed the lawsuit in Anoka County District Court.

It argues that the Louisiana-based company has frequently charged people higher monthly rates for internet and cable than they were quoted and refused to honor the lower price.

A company spokesman said it is disappointed Swanson “has chosen a press conference to communicate her concerns” rather than contact the company directly.
