difference in our members lives.

A member was sued for a repossession deficiency when her ex-husband
turned in the BMW that she had co-signed for. Their divorce decree
provided for the ex to be responsible for the car payments. Although
the ex was named as a co-defendant, the plaintiff was never able to
serve him with process. The potential liability to the member with attorney's
fees was around $20,000. At the time of the sale of the repossessed vehicle,
the bank provided our member with a letter stating that it would not go after
her for the deficiency. Despite that "statement", the bank sued her and we
defended the claims. The Judge refused to dismiss the case in preliminary
hearings, but reserved the right to rule on the issue of the letter
at trial. The opposing counsel would not accept our offer for our client to pay
her $3,000 tax refund as a settlement. The best they would offer was $15,000.
Our member elected to use her trial hours and we advised plaintiff's counsel
that we were preparing for trial on 10/15. The plaintiff's attorney contacted us
on 10/12 and advised they were dismissing the complaint.

A member with a business plan contacted the Provider Firm because one of his
clients was refusing to make payment per a signed contract. A Provider Attorney
wrote a letter to the company and our member received payment in full in the
amount of $750.
