People get on a vacation its good for your soul and maybe this will resolve in its own due time..You all take care…
it is the class actions through the ftc that they think if you have one you should never have another one. like if you have a car accident who could ever have another one.the ftc sent statements out recently to people who claimed the walborn settlement calling them liars and threats against them.the ftc is supposed to help people not abuse them
sean is sooooooooooooooooooooooo full of it …………..
it dosnt matter how many class actions you have been in
well it is count down do you think that the claim administrator will process the claims now I don’t know just ignore the time passed and ignore all the sayings and I believe that there is a check in the mail
If you ever participated in another class action,you will not receive and thing from NB.
the FTC has made it so u can only get 1 check per year thur class actions.
