    I was part of the Volkswagen Timing Chain Product Liability Litigation, Case No. 2:16-cv-02765. I dealt with the law firm(s) heading the operation for many months hunting down and submitting every documentation requested of me. I took a loan purchased and had a new engine installed while waiting and submitting documents to the lead firm. In short, the lawsuit eventually came down to segmented settlements, which I was fully in. But the law firm only said I would receive a letter in the mail regarding my result. 4 letters and almost 10 calls in, I was never able to find out any information on what or what caused my situation to not qualify for any of the settlement. I gave up on expecting any reimbursement for my entire engine. I was just hoping some one might be able to help me find out why no one would give me any relevant information regarding my decision in the class action. I still have all my documents, but that law firm and the timing chain related sites have all since dissolved it seems, so I can no longer find any point(s) of contact.

    hi I was wondering if there is a cut off for the amount of time passed. This all began about june, july right when pandemic was in full swing. I had numerous harrassing calls. I was akways on time with all my bills until I was laid off from work because of the pandemic and these people treated me like i was nothing, they had no sympathy all they wanted was me to pay so they krot charging me fee after fee, thry repoed my car. it was so humiliating and now they have me in collections and now i cant even get a job because of my credit. these companies have ruined my life. and i not gonna say that its all their fault but how do i pay when clearly i cant work by no fault of my own. the world shut down. i cant do anything about that. and to top it off people I knew oasses away from covid so fir them to have no heart is just ungodly

      Let me first off say that I’m sorry for all my horribly spelled words. I really should’ve spelled checked but my typing thumb had a mind of its own. It saw that bright blue post comment and without hesitation and before a single thought of….” maybe you should check your spelling!” Thumbalina hit that bright blue button faster than my momma could take my daddys check out his wallet on pay day…
