I received a check for $186.35 back in January 2019, I was very skeptical and waited til I read about the lawsuit on the website that fame with the check. So I guess they screwed me way more??? Or harassed me very ugly???? How is the amount determined? And also any lawyers out there willing to help me out cause now westlake is trying to sue me!
Lol, I guess we all get $6.54. Of course the majority was absorbed by “attorney fees” It would be funny if it bounced.
Got a check for $6.54. But mine says “THIS CHECK IS PRINTED WITH THE VERBIAGE “SECURITY DOCUMENT” IN FLUORESCENT INK – DO NOT ACCEPT UNLESS THE WORDS ARE PRESENT”. I do not see these words on the check and nothing in fluorescent ink. Is it safe to deposit this check?
Received 6.54’in Texas
RECEIVED CHECK TODAY FOR $6.54
ME TOO, I THINK THEY PUT THE DECIMAL POINT IN THE WRONG SPOT!
Haha I’m thinking the same with mine. Of course I DID get almost $50/a couple years ago. Keep em coming lol
I have something coming from them today. I’ll let you know when I get it.
FYI..Sign up for informed delivery thru http://www.usps.com it’s free and they’ll email you everyday you get mail. Only exception is magazines.
Me too! Seen it on informed delivery as well . Super curious as to what it is ! My mail does not come till after 5 !
Did you ever find out what it was because mine of course was on the informed delivery email but not in my mailbox! I’ll see if I get it tomorrow
Hey all of you Frequent Filers and mailbox watchers and REASONS WHY WE NOW HAVE HAVE A CODE # to file claims ( for the most part )
The check you are expecting is $6,59 ( 2nd disbursement ) . Enough to get the pack of NEWPORT MENTHOL’S !!
I normally do not post and play the PILE ON game, but instead of seeing about 90% of you Jones (ing ) over a $6 check, I thought I’d alleviate your anxiety.
History lesson_ the term Jones- ing comes from a real place in NYC. Named after the GREAT JONES ALLEY, it was a place where addicts went frequently to handle their business. It became so bad that it was a catalyst for the mayor of NYC cleaning that city up of shooting gallery type places, and outdoor sex venues. You can see a picture of it on google,, IT is now a regular ALLEY in NYC, and is fenced in and behind a locked gate.
These people at Westlake! They keep pushing my “re-issued” check week after week, after week! They say they are having issues with the bank and that is the reason checks keep getting delayed from being mailed out. REALLY!??
Relax people, it’s not even $7.00, so this impatiently waiting thing is a bit overkill.
