A telephone company that unknowingly submits a bill containing charges for unanswered or unaccepted telephone calls, telephone calls placed to a toll-free number, or telephone service or other services or goods not ordered or otherwise authorized by the customer of record shall be considered in violation of this rule unless the disputed amounts are removed from the customer's bill within two (2) billing cycles of the customer's notification to the company.
02.Billing Disputes. A telephone company that bills and collects for other telephone companies or entities is responsible for either addressing billing disputes regarding unauthorized goods and services for which it bills or advising customers how to contact the providers of those goods and services. If a customer is unable to either contact or successfully resolve a dispute about unauthorized goods and services for which the telephone company bills, a credit equal to the disputed charges must be applied to the customer's account within two (2) billing cycles of the customer's notification to the company.
