http://www.merchantlaw.com/cellular.html Merchant Law Group LLP is pleased to announce that its litigation efforts in regards to the cellular "system access fee" has resulted in one of its nine proposed class actions being certified, by order of the Honourable Mr. Justice Gerein granted on September 17, 2007 (a copy of which is available above). Been granted "certification" is a substantial milestone, and our firm will continue to vigorously prosecute litigation on this issue on behalf of all Canadians who have been made to pay the system access fee (and similarly described fees). Members of the public are free to join our class members' info list by completing the form below, and we will continue to accept information from new claimants for the foreseeable future (and post any deadlines which arise on this site, as well as in email bulletins). Class action lawyer Tony Merchant, Q.C. launched lawsuits in August 2004 against all of Canada's Cellular Providers challenging the legitimacy of system access fees, system licensing charges, system admin fees, and similarly described surcharges, charged to cellular accounts, normally in the amount of $6.95 per month. We intend to establish that Canadians were generally misled to believe that access fees were collected as a government tax or CRTC levy. We are pursuing Class Action claims before the Superior Courts of B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Court hearings are already underway. All of our clients will be entitled to share in any compensation resulting from this Class Action, and we expect that a National Class Action will be certified to allow us to pursue recovery of system access fees and licensing charges on behalf of all Canadian cellular phone users, including current and former customers of Bell Mobility, Telus, Rogers & Fido (Microcell), SaskTel, MTS, and Aliant.

I think that the system access fees that the consumers are forced to pay are a form of price gouging on the part of the cellular companies. I don't think that there is a fair representation of what why fees are collected and where the fees are going. Canadians are being over charged for cellular services. I think certain cellular companies one being Rogers does not make their services user friendly and are not upfront with their service charges and fees to their customers. Although I did not sign a contract with Rogers was not able to cancel my service with them and was charged monthly fees and extra fees. They would not allow me to cancel my service with them and I had to pay money that I could not afford in order to stop service. Their customer service was uncaring and unprofessional in their demeanor.

As a regular US business traveler, I can assure you - we are being ripped off north of the border. I don't care if the carriers believe that they need to recover network costs by soaking us with ridiculous 'access' fees, and limits on usage. It's all a scam to try and squeeze out revenue - bottom line. My friends in the US have had nation-wide calling for years now - meanwhile we still get hammered with LD and roaming charges when we drive to the next city down the road - unreal. And the new 'all-you-can-eat' US plans for $99 further exemplify the disparity between these two countries carriers. Regulators - it is time to step in and force change. Canadians are sick of this.

How nice , something is being done. I was ripped off by Fido with charges for text messaging, when I complained they give me some credit back and ripped me off with software upgrade charge, when I had enough and went with Rogers they charged me with contract breach tough I was told they cant because Rogers is the same (mother) company!!!!!!
