Seven small Montanan-owned businesses have sued the Secretary of State for a policy that requires customers to request refunds in writing even though the Secretary’s website has been double-charging customers for fees without their knowledge.  The Secretary has made statements that misrepresent the extent of the overcharges and mislead customers, who have no reason to expect that a state agency would wrongfully withhold their money.  The businesses seek injunctive relief requiring the Secretary of State to implement a lawful refund policy that alerts businesses when overcharges occur and automatically refunds the overcharged amount.
