JCEMT, your link was bad for me. Try this one instead.

The suit is a darn good start, but I don't think it goes nearly far enough. The victims ought to get a little $omething for stress, mental anguish, etc.

I don't know about you, but this seems like a lot of money:

Impose penalties of ten thousand dollars per violation of the deceptive and unfair trade practices act and fifteen thousand dollars for per willful violaiton which victimized, or attempted to victimize a person who is sixty years of age or older.

Award consumer restitution and damages in an amount to equal the amounts each consumer paid in excess of an amount allowed by law.

These are to be imposed as civil penalties, which means if your under 60 and they ****** you then you get $10k, if your over 60 and they ****** you then you get $15k. Plus whatever you overpaid, also the AG is seeking perm. injunction against them collecting in the state of FL. Basically saying your shut down, now GTFO

1.2 million isn't even a full months worth of money even a partially successful company makes.

I don't think I will ever be a favorite of class action lawsuits because to the general media it isn't a big deal. However if a single consumer sues a company and gains a large settlement out of it, then it becomes headline news and I wish I saw more of that. You never hear about the big battles anymore because it's all class action now.

The agency I work for is not very big, 2 main offices, but they make huge bucks. I want to say that the office I work in made around 2 million in Dec and that doesn't include what the other office made.

You get paid on commission FYI? LOL I wish I made that kind of money, (just kidding). You're very right. Usually if these law suits are reported at all, it is a microscopic paragraph in the business section of the newspaper.

I agree...with Law Student as usual
always the statement that it's not a lot of money and that company represented makes sooooooo.... much money but posting in other statements that hello.... she still owes others money..!!!! ooops!
okay.fyi...if your company made more than 2 million in one single month? ....and you are a manager with this company ?....like I am thinking I read in one of your previous statements( could have misread your intentions and statement tho)..why are you still suffering and in debt fyi? ..and needed family members to donate to your kids THIS Dec in order for you to get them their wish list of presents? Your agency who is not very big (according to your statement )should indeed reward employees in upper management ... if your company made THAT much money in one month.. you yourself should have bought gift cards for your entire family members not only for xmas but for entire year!!!!!!!.... if your company made that much and compensated you accordingly...
there is no reason for you to be posting about debts you still owe..no way JOSE!!!!!!(just kidding) NOT!!!!!!!! If you are still in debt you refer to on other posts and company you work for and say they make this much money a month...RUN FYI RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I luff ya bunches Law!!!! keep it up!!!

As much as I dislike certain agencies, Bass needs it done to them more than anyone else.

Socks...I am not answering for FYI..but from my own experience. I worked for a resort for over six years.
I worked directly with the owner. During that time his company grew from making about 3 grand a month to over a million a month. I did everything there was to do there from bookkeeping to cleaning toilets. I received one Christmas bonus of 200 dollars. I did not expect to received any commission or bonuses it was his business. They were good people to work for..that's just one of the reasons why I stayed.

I don't really feel I should have to answer your question Socks but I will. I make salary plus commission, my commission is based on my groups performance and not the company wide performance, while I receive a decent bonus it is also shared with another manager on this project so it isn't as big as you might think it is. If you know anything about collection agency owners you should know that they like money and they like to keep as much of their money as they can.

In August my sister in law and her 3 kids moved in with us and that totaled 10 people in our 3 bedroom apartment. She was unemployed in her last 2 semesters of nursing school. I don't know if you have ever had to feed 10 people without any assistance but the monthly grocery bill was almost 1k a month.

I signed up for Christmas assistance because I simply couldn't afford to buy presents for 4 extra people. She did move out in November and I made sure that she did receive the presents for her family that we were given as well as a few more that I bought for her. You see, she couldn't afford to buy anything for her kids this year. Everything that she has now has been bought for her by me or her mom because her ex isn't paying her hardly any child support. Thankfully her divorce was finalized yesterday and now the child support will be coming directly from his check and she will graduate from nursing school in May so that she can start making a good living for her little family.

My old debts are almost all paid. I am taking care of them one by one and I am doing a pretty good job of it. I will have one small limit credit card and a vehicle as current and good standing debt after next month. I hope to be buying a home this summer.

Frankly that is all I feel like explaining to you and it is certainly a lot more than you deserve.

That seemed like a personal attack Socks, please refrain from that in the future. Otherwise people will start thinking your Hankey.
