0

If you are a current or former AT&T and/or SBC Express DSL  customer in the states of Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas you will want to read more about the AT&T Express DSL Speed Class Action Lawsuit styled Schmidt v. AT&T and SBC Internet Services, Inc at ExpressDSLSpeedSettlement.com.  The lawsuit claims that AT&T failed to provide DSL service at the speeds promised in the contract.  Few things in life are more annoying than a slow Internet connection.  The lawsuit settlement will provide $8 to each eligible class member for each month their DSL service was slower than promised.  The lawsuit goes on to claim that AT&T capped customers Internet speeds below 1.5 Mbps, including 384 kbps and 768 kbps… this is very slow for those of you not familiar with Mbps and kbps.  AT&T claims no wrong doing of any sort but has agreed to terms.  Besides the $8 settlement payout AT&T has agreed to monitor speeds for the next three-years to make sure the minimum DSL speeds are corresponding to the customer’s plan.

If you feel like you are a class member in the  AT&T Express DSL lawsuit you have until May 31, 2012 to file a claim form.  A class member can submit a claim form by mail or online at the class administrators web portal.  The following attorneys have been appointed by the courts to represent class members: Robert F. Ritter & Don M. Downing of the law firm Gray, Ritter & Graham and Patrick J. Perotti of the law firm Dworken & Bernstein Co.  If you would like to hire your own lawyer you may do so but at your own expense.  If you had more than one DSL phone number you must submit a another claim form.  All settlement payments and issues will hopefully be settled on or around September 28, 2012.  For more information about the lawsuit please call 1-855-793-1366.

www.NewAmerica7.com – What is this New America?

0

We have all see the New America commercial on TV and thought could this be for real?  Is America really headed for a complete and utter collapse similar to the Roman Empire?  Don’t for a second think that any of this nonsense is true.  NewAmerica7 is just a commercial attempting to use shock value in order to gain a potential sale.  We have seen this horse and pony show before.  So what is New America all about?  It is pretty much a guy trying to make a few bucks by selling financial advice.  The guy is named Porter Stansberry and he is trying to get you to subscribe to his Stansberry’s Investment Advisory monthly newsletter.  He claims that buying his newsletter will be one of the best financial moves you ever make.  To be honest this is just like any of the other hundreds of other financial newsletters out there… like throwing darts at a wall.

A few highlights of his reports include  The 100% Secret – The Easiest Way to Make Money When Stocks are Risky and The World’s Most Valuable Asset in a Time of Crises.  Now these reports and newsletters could very well make you a nice return but so could any other advisor out there and so could you picking your own stocks.  The art of making money in the stock market is a very difficult one and takes a lifetime to master.  Many people fail miserably and are quickly out of the game.  For every Warren Buffet there are thousands of nobodies that went belly up.  If you are in the market for a financial newsletter it is suggested you do some research on the web and look at reviews before buying in.  MarketWatch has some very good write ups and reviews on financial newsletter that have succeeded over the past few years… sadly NewAmerica7 is not one of them.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries are in some hot oil over the latest class action lawsuit filed styled Storch v. Five Guys Enterprises, LLC and FG Madison.  The lawsuit revolves around claims that Five Guys violated the New Jersey Truth in Consumer Contract Warranty and Notice and the New Jersey Gift Card Act when they sold gift cards and then charged a dormancy fee for not using the card.  This is pretty surprising as Five Guys has always been a pretty customer friendly restaurant.  If you or someone you know purchases a gift card on or after April 4, 2006 with a dormancy fee provision you might be eligible for a $50 or $15 Five Guys Gift Card under the settlement terms. In order to obtain a settlement you MUST file a claim before May 29, 2012.  Any questions or concerns about the claim form should be directed to the Class Counsel, DiSabato & Bouckenooghe LLC at 973-813-2525.

The gift card amount depends on if the class member has proof of purchase.  Class members with proof of purchase will be eligible for a $50 card.  Class members without proof of purchase are eligible for a $15 card as long as they agree to sign and submit a claim form under penalty of perjury.  Five Guys Burgers and Fries denies all wrong doing in the lawsuit but as agreed to settle in order to avoid a lengthy, drawn out trail.  The lawsuit is in the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Morris County and is in violation of law codes N.J.S.A. 56:8-110 et seq and N.J.S.A. 56:12-14 et seq.

Five Guys is a popular burger joint that dishes out some pretty darn good hamburgers, hot dogs, and French fries.  They were founded in 1986 and are currently based out of Lorton, VA.  It was founded by Janie and Jerry Murrell and their four sons.

www.IndependentForeclosureReview.com – Free Foreclosure Review by IndependentForeclosureReview.com

0

If your house was foreclosed on in the year 2009 or 2010 you might want to think about submitting for a free review that will help determine if there were errors made in your foreclosure process that caused you to suffer financial injury.  Many mistakes and errors were made by both lenders and borrows during the 2009/2010 home mortgage crisis.  If you believe there was an error in your foreclosure process made by your lender you could be due compensation.   Please note that most foreclosures were done according to the law and only a small fraction of these foreclosures will qualify for compensation.  In order to qualify for any type of compensation you must of had a home loan with one of the following lenders: America’s Servicing Co., Aurora Loan Services, BAC Home Loans Servicing, Bank of America, Beneficial, Chase, Citibank, CitiFinancial, CitiMortgage, Countrywide, EMC, EverBank/EverHome Mortgage Company, Financial Freedom, GMAC Mortgage, HFC, HSBC, IndyMac Mortgage Services, MetLife Bank,National City Mortgage, PNC Mortgage, Sovereign Bank, SunTrust Mortgage, U.S. Bank, Wachovia Mortgage, Washington Mutual (WaMu), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or the Wilshire Credit Corporation.  If you did not have a home mortgage with any of the previous named companies it is not worth your time to request a review.  If you did have a loan with one of those companies and were foreclosed on in 2009 or 2010 please check out IndependentForeclosureReview.com.  The review will attempt to discover if financial injury occurred because of errors or other problems during the home foreclosure process conducted by the mortgage company.

Examples of errors or mistakes include: the mortgage balance at the time of foreclosure was more than you actually owed, you were obeying the laws and requirements of the modification agreement but still were foreclosed on and mortgage payments and or fees were inaccurately calculated, processed, or applied.  Another common example is the foreclosure took place while you were protected by consumer bankruptcy laws.  Please note that the borrower or co-borrower can submit for a review.  Once the review has been submitted you will receive a letter by mail informing you of the findings and if you might be due compensation.

The Independent Foreclosure Review is free of charge and will not hurt or improve your credit score.  Once a review has been requested you will receive confirmation within 1 week time.  The entire review process may take several months due to the complexity of the process and regulations.    During the process you might be requested to submit additional documents to help determine your case.  It is recommended you keep all documents and forms related to your foreclosure.
