Statement from counsel
According to Jesse C. Morris, Esq. of Morris Law, the Complaint alleges that ADS used deceptively written proposals with surprise charges and hidden fees. Although proposals state an apparent contract price in large, bold text, customers allegedly received invoices that exceeded it by as much as thousands of dollars—sometimes double or triple the proposal amount. The Complaint alleges that ADS’s charges were inflated through hidden contract terms, deceptive language, and fine print.
