I overnighted my application on February 7th and received a letter from the CSF on March 2, assigning a case number. It also states that "if the lawyer involved in your matter has already been disciplined, your application will be reviewed in the order it was received in this office". "However, if the lawyer involved (Mr. Hall) has not yet been disciplined, your application will not be reviewed until the discipline matter is resolved". "Any questions regarding the discipline complaint status should be directed to the person handling your discipline complaint".
Now tell me if I'm wrong. But the letter I also received after filing my discipline complaint to the State Bar against Mr. Hall stated that they would not pursue action against him because he resigned. So where does that leave us? I feel like I'm getting the run around by these guys. One says you have to file a complaint with the State Bar, the other says they can't do anything because he resigned, and yet the CSF says they won't do anything until the complaint against Mr. Hall results in discipline by the State Bar. In other words, they won't discipline him because he already quit.
No wonder Credit Partnership sent all of us that letter saying they were closing and that we needed to file for refunds through the CSF. He already knew that the State Bar would do nothing because he was going to resign! This is all a bunch of garbage if you ask me. No one wants to take responsibility here. So it looks like maybe we, as a united front, need to take matters into our own hands and sue his butt off through legal means. I say we hire an attorney! Someone who will do all of this nit picky research for us, and take a stand for us against this crack pot system and Mr. Hall. The State Bar is a joke. The CSF is a joke. They say "bring your complaint here" but then when you do they say "sorry, we can't help". What the??? I am so DONE with this BS waiting game. Anyone else? Because I tell you, the longer we wait the farther away Mr. Hall will be able to get (with all of OUR $$$).
