Chula Vista Cellular Phone Users

The settlement covers anyone who paid for a cell phone after April 2010, with a billing address in Chula Vista.

The settlement fund has three tiers depending on whether you can submit a proof of purchase:

• No Proof of Purchase – flat $35 payment
• Proof of Purchase 1 – if you have at least one bill per year, $50 per year ($150)
• Proof of Purchase 2 – if you have two or more bills per year, you are eligble for a full refund of your TUT tax.

NOT required for basic $35 claim.

Required for $50 per year claim or for full refund of taxes claim.

The plaintiffs alleged that the City of Chula Vista imposed an unlawful tax (TUT) on mobile phones from April 2010 to April 2013. The city denies liability, but the parties agreed to settle before the case could be heard and decided by a court.
