When are checks going out?
Chris, your name was meant for the post from Will
Will, I’m with you! Do they really expect us to keep receipts for years, and they when we don’t have them, deny us what should be ours instead of theirs? Start the class action, I’m second in line
Wow, this is interesting…many of u in the feed are saying they have sent you letters asking for proof of purchase. I haven’t gotten anything like that, and it wasn’t mentioned when I called in this morning for an update. Still no word on when payment will be received, but I’m thinking perhaps we should file a class action against the attorneys, particularly in this suit. I notice that this firm in particular is making a fortune taking on class actions and winning them. Huge payments consisting of millions while the consumer gets pennies on the dollar or in some cases nothing at all. Another thing that could be a possibility when dealing with these greedy liars (lawyers) would be to write a formal complaint to the bar association in their area. Lawyers take a ethics oath and are suppose to follow it which rarely happens as you can see. I’m not sure if its even worth the energy expended to go that far, but than again, I suspect the lawyers don’t expect any of us consumers to do a damn thing but shut up sit back and wait on their call. Truth, we only have power to stop this foolishness if we do something about, take a stand. If not, do what the lawyers expect you to do stfu and wait till they tell you otherwise.
I responded to post back n march n stated that i didn’t receive a letter still n its may n still waiting on a check so idk what the story is.
I never received a verification letter requesting a receipt. I thought if the claim was less than $200 you would not need to send then a receipt. I had purchased 4 pairs, myself, 2 daughters and my sister, but didn’t have receipts of course. Who keeps them once you have given the item to someone and it fits?!?! So my claim was under the $200 so hopefully I will see a little of it at least. Hope everyone else gets treated fairly with this. I will post when I receive a check, if I get one that is!
I called and was told that checks would be issued the end of April, and that they should be received within two weeks. She also stated if you received a verification letter and did not respond they would either deny you or reduce the amount of your claim. You will not be notified either way, you will get a check or you won’t according to the representative.
I received verification app over a month ago,i filled it out and sent in my receipt and still have heard or received payment..what give?
Just called and spoke to a gentleman at 3:39 cst, he stated they are doing the final audit of all claims, but they have no date as of yet. Not sure what SEAN is talking about.
Called today and the guy said,unless you received a verification in the mail and sent it back in with your receipts you will not be getting a check.
