I called the diesability claims office yesterday and they said they had reached a decision on my case HOWEVER the put me on for random review, WTF does that mean Then I asked them what my result was and they said " i am not allowed to in form you of it at this time" HELLO THEY REACHED A DECISION THEY SHOULD TELL WHAT IT WAS!!!so can anyone tell me what that means?

Of course they should tell you what the decision is regardless of whether it is being randomly reviewed.\n\nIt sounds like pen-pushers gone mad!\n\nTalk to your locally-elected government representative and demand that the system change so that you can be told of the decision that has been made.\n\nIf you are applying for a disability pension, you have enough to deal with without that load of garbage being added to it!

It all depends on the situation, and I can respect your decision not to reveal it to the Internet. Nobody will be able to tell you anything with what you are saying. Kind of a catch 22 isn't it. I am tied in with the courts where I live, and I wouldn't give you any advise because that is your choice to make, but I might be able to give you some comparisons, if you will tell me what is going on. So you can Email me if you want to, my Email is on my page.

No, they have your number on file. It's good that you called back. Now wait. If you don't hear anything by tomorrow, call again and explain that you wanted to check the status of your application.

are you referring to the DV visa lottery ?\n\nYou can not check the status. If you win you get a letter in the mail, if you don't, you don't get anything.\n\nI'm not sure what the case number is for... did you use an intermediary for the visa lottery ?

He is doing exactly as he should.  \n\nThese cases can cost a firm a fortune to pursue and he needs to make sure that taking this case on is a good financial decision, meaning that not only is it a good case that they can reasonably expect to win on but also that the recovery involved will be sufficient to justify the time and expense involved in taking it on.\n\nHe can't do that without an informed opinion on the facts involved.\n\nWhat more are you expecting him to tell you?  He will either agree to represent you or decline based upon the others opinion weighed against his risk factors.  And even if he declines to represent you, it doesn't necessarily mean that your case isn't worth pursuing in general.  It just means that it isn't worth it to him.  If he feels you have no case period, he will tell you that also.

Well - you have to ask yourself - is it worth going to court for. Depending on how much money it is, you can either go to small claims or go for a civil suit. I'm nearly 100% sure that you can probably get them to settle but you need some type of documented paperwork. In a civil suit - its beyond a preponderance - so - as long as your evidence provides at least 50% - its not beyond a reasonable doubt. Again - i'd need to know more about the case - but in general - you need the paper work documenting what they said - otherwise it becomes a game of he said she said.

You win, the election results are not official until the Board of Elections says so. If you actually did get more votes, you are the winner, regardless of whether you "conceded" or not.\nConceding mainly means you aren't going to ask for a recount or challenge in court, etc. especially in a close race.

It means that you may file a new suit on the same cause of action.\n\nYou may file a motion to reconsider the ruling.  This usually requires that you have new information that you did not at the time of your last hearing.\n\nYou may appeal the ruling to a higher court.  In an appeal you need to show that the judge had faulty legal reasoning.   They do not re-evaluate findings of facts on appeal.  You will need an attorney to do an appeal properly.

They have to sue you first before they can "take" anything from you.  If they do sue and win, then it's up to the courts.  But any kind of threat or statement in saying what you are doing is illegal by not paying is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  Read that act front to back.  It's dry reading but quite eye opening.

It depends on whether or not you signed off on some type of settlement.  If you did indeed settle then the answer to your question is no.  However, if no final settlement was reached then the case might still be open and they will be liable for your expenses.

That;s a hard story to figure out, since you didn't really specify much.\n\nMy suggestion is that you have a consultation with an Attorney and let him tell you what you can do..........

It means the plaintiff won't show up, but they usually can't arbitrarily waive their appearance. You or your attorney if you have one would have to consent. If the plaintiff's attorney will be there, it really doesn't help you at all. It means you won't have anyone to cross-examine. I'd recommend asking for summary judgment in your favor. End of story.

I agree with spade_2nite, something doesn't sound right if they are contacting you for payment - if they had recieved a judgment.\n\n\nContact your county court clerk and ask if there is a judgment or a suit filed in your name. (You can also go to the clerks office and request to see your file.)\n\nIf there is no judgment or pending suit filed, that company is violating your rights. If that is the case - speak with an attorney immediately!!!\n \nIf there is a judgment filed and you had been properly served, check your state statutes for the exemptions in your state.\nFor example -  exemptions "may" mean that they cannot garnish your wages, take your car, take funds from your bank account etc. It all depends on "your" states exemption laws. \n\nAfter you check with your county court clerk and find that there is or is not a judgment against you, it may be best to speak with an attorney. There are many attorneys that will give a free first consult   \n\nAlso, I would suggest purchasing a tape recorder and the next time they call, tell them that you are recording the call. Some states allow you to tape without informing the other party that you are taping, you would have to check your state laws on that. But, if you cannot find your states laws on taping, then be sure to inform them you are taping when they call.  \n\nTell them that recieving phone calls at your home and place of employment is inconvenient for you and that you are requesting they contact you by the U.S. postal service only - be sure to have that on tape. By law, if you tell them to cease calling - they are "required" to stop calling.\n\nIf there is a judgment against you, filing for bankruptcy may not be the wisest thing to do - depending on the dollar amount of the judgment and your other debts. \n\n\nI have included a link so you can check your states rules of service

Gosh, the OSC itself is a motion where the Court sets a date by which a response is due.  If the other side is served and does not respond, the Court should render judgment without your taking any further action.  Alternately, the Court might set an inquest date for you to come in and offer your own one-sided proofs.  In all cases, if the time to respond has expired, call the Court and say, "The time has expired.  What happens next?"  \n\nWith support matters, the Court should work hard to help you get relief.

I think something is going on in your case that isn't quite clear to you. First, a settlement is something that is offered by a defendant who does not want to go to trial. Even a defendant who feels like they will win may offer a settlement simply to avoid the time and expense of a trial.\nIf you already had a trial, then there should be a judgment. Either you won, or you lost. If you lost, then you have to file an appeal, generally within 30 days of the finality of the judgment. If you won, the other party would have the same amount of time to file an appeal. If they did so within that amount of time, then the appeal is pending; your lawyer knows what the status of the case is, and if he or she hasn't kept you informed, you need to keep calling them to find out what the status of your case is.
