As a result of the favorable decision of the Appellate Court of Illinois, telephone subscribers here are entitled to a refund of a portion of monies that were collected from them by order of the Court from the period January 1, 1984 through May 31, 1988. Customers of Illinois Bell Telephone Company with phone service on the Chicago Exchange during that period of time will be soon receiving an automatic credit on their telephone bill. The exact formula for detirming the refund will be calculated by the Court in the near future. It is possible some persons or businesses will not receive the refund to which they are entitled, due to having moved, changed accounts or telephone numbers since January 1, 1984. If you have maintained the same address/telephone number/billing account since January 1, 1984, you need do nothing, unless you wish to be excluded from participating in the automatic credit. If you HAVE changed one of the above items, then you should notify the Trustee promptly. Include this information: Your Name Current Telephone Number Address, City, State, Zip Billing Name(s) or Title(s) that appeared on your telephone bill 1/84 to 5/88. Provide all Chicago telephone numbers issued to you from 1/84 to 5/88. Describe the type of service you had (residence, business, centrex, WATS, etc). Give the approximate dates of service for each of the above. If you are no longer a customer of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company, i.e. an automatic credit to your Chicago telephone account is not possible, then instruct the Trustee accordingly. Contact (in writing only!) - ACCURATE ACCOUNTING LIMITED 6006 West 159th Street Oak Forest, IL 60452 Mark your envelope "Illinois Bell Refund", and mail it in a timely fashion so it is received by the Trustee prior to the close of business December 9, 1988. The Court will disgard any claims presented after that date. Contact ONLY the above address. Do not write or telephone the Court. Do not write or telephone Illinois Bell Telephone Company or inquire of its service representatives. [I am told for large business customers the refund will average several hundred dollars. For residence customers, the refund will be smaller, but pleasing. PTownson]
