The district attorney for Washington DC has filed a law suit against AT&T for a refund on unused pre-paid calling card balances. The claim states that AT&T should refund the unused balances on calling cards to the last know address of residents of Washington DC. "AT&T's prepaid calling cards must be treated as unclaimed property under district law," the attorney general's office stated.
The attorney general's office explained that the unused balances of pre-paid calling cards account for 5 to 20% of the total purchase price of the cards.
