If you hired movers and paid a fuel surcharge fee, you could be up for getting some cash back in a recent class action action.

If you hired a mover between 2003 and 2007 and used American Moving & Storage, Atlas Van Lines, Mayflower Transit, United Van Lines or Wheaton Van Lines, you might be eligible.

The suit claims that a consortium of movers agreed to set an artificially high price for fuel surcharges under a tariff called “Tariff 400N.” The defendants have agreed to a $40 million settlement.

To participate, you must submit proof before February 3, 2011. How much each individual class member will get has not yet been determined.
