Kent v. Charter Communications, Inc. d/b/a Spectrum

What this case is about

Customers are suing Spectrum, the cable and internet provider owned by Charter Communications, claiming the company charged them more than what was promised in their contracts. The plaintiffs allege that Spectrum agreed to provide cable, internet, or other services at a locked-in rate but then raised prices during the contract period without proper justification or notice. Customers say they relied on these agreed-upon prices when signing up and were misled about the true cost of their service. The proposed class would include Spectrum subscribers across the country who were similarly charged rates higher than what their service agreements specified, resulting in unexpected overcharges on their monthly bills.
