If you are determined to sue, AND the sum is worth your time and effort, you may wish to try small claims court. Just remember that going to Law has costs above the financial. Even if you win, you may lose when your time, effort, and aggravation are taken into account.

They probably want it so they can send you spam texts. Just block any that you receive. Your credit card is presumably linked to your phone number (so the company can contact you in the case of possible fraud). Even if you use your credit card to pay your phone bill, that information should not be stored by the phone company. In any case, if the phone or the credit card companies' billing records are hacked, you have bigger problems than a bit of spam...

And most of what you get will be eaten up by lawyer's fees.

How hard is it to get a "burner" phone in your locality? Here I could walk into a shop, grab a cheapie that comes with prepaid SIM and a number. No ID required. Or get a SIM-only deal so I don't have to ditch the handset.

I agree it should not be an issue except I bought a refrigerator from Home Depot 3 month ago and because I gave them a bogus phone number my credit card was not accepted

That is all criminal rather than civil. So you should file a compliant. With a brief google by me also seems that California law means that one cannot profit from a criminal activity which this would apply if convicted. And after conviction, even a for a minor charge, I suspect you can file a civil suit to recoup monetary losses that you paid while protecting yourself.

Sort of. First of course the OP is talking about a pair of boots. But, as far as I know, as the primary in a class action one gets quite a bit of the judgement. Lots to the lawyers, but more than just what a pair of boots are.

I have some old phones one was tied to Verizon can I buy a sim card only and install that in the phone OR will I need a Verizon Plan ? Or use the prepaid plan ? Thanks for the reply
Sorry, no idea of the USA scene. I'm downunder, way across the Pacific. Here, some handsets are locked to a carrier, some (usually more expensive, duh!) are unlocked.
