Subject: CenturyLink's latest way to avoid customer lawsuits is the
most creative yet
By Chris Mills
April 8, 2021
CenturyLink is currently facing lawsuits from disgruntled customers
and the state of Minnesota, all alleging the same thing: That
CenturyLink quoted customers one price, and then used shady fees and
add-ons to make the monthly bill significantly more.
You'd think that the company might fight a suit like this by bringing
out evidence of contracts, or finding expert witnesses to defend its
advertising practices in court. Not so: Instead, CenturyLink is using
the novel defense of claiming it doesn't have any actual customers.
