I am a current recipient of the LifeLine program provided by Universial Services Assosition Co. (USAC). LifeLine is a program for low income people who are in need of internet and phone service. In which they are ripping the consumers off and i am seeking a class action suit against them.

They are allowing the service providers to give *.5gbs of data and then once the consumer has depleted the data the service provider cuts off the consumers data and are forced to purchase additional data at high higher prices and never any option to purchase an unlimited data add-on or even a fair enough amount of data at a resonable rate. Which means that the low income consumer is left to spend more monies for less data when they should be using those monies to pay bills, eat or even purchase essential items. An example of one service provider data add-on rates are $* for 1GB, $* for *.5GB, $* for 3GB & $* for 8GB of data. When consumer's bi weekly income is $*, and they still have to pay for housing and other expenses.
