Class action against Vodafone for price increases
Consumer advocates are suing the telecommunications provider Vodafone for price increases. The measures are inadmissible, the Federation of German Consumer Organizations (vzbv) announced on Tuesday. A corresponding lawsuit has been filed with the Hamm Higher Regional Court. On the basis of a law that came into force in October, Vodafone customers can take part in a new form of class action by registering in a register of complaints. In April, Vodafone began raising the prices for all its fixed network tariffs (cable and DSL) by five euros per month. Vodafone emphasizes that it has complied with applicable law.
