NFIB's New Jersey office is working with Teletruth to notifiy small businesses that they may be entitled to a refund check from Verizon for missing discounts. NFIB is one of the nation's leading small-business associations.

In 2003, Teletruth started our "Send Us Your Phone Bill" campaign. We discovered billing errors and trends that led to the filing of class actions. The first case was settled in April 2004. We found that approximately 40% of small businesses (under 5 lines) in New Jersey were missing their discounts --- and your firm could be one of these small businesses.
