Hi, i have never posted anything on this site before but i have been reading it.  My mom is involved in this lawsuit and i am trying to look up somethings for her because she needs me to.  This has been going on since 1999 for us, she is not in the 7th but i was wondering how do i get her DDR# and how do i look it up on pacer.  If anyone can help me with this i would so appreciate it, i do have access to pacer, but i just got this job and i am not quite sure how to look up cases on it.  I hope someone can help me.

All quiet on the Western front.

I wish we knew something more on this. Seems they have been keeping us in the dark this last time.

Do they overnight this to the lawyers, then the lawyers have to overnight it to us?

Tulips, they're not keeping you all in the dark. If you go to the 7th website and click on the link to PTO 7764, it tells you exactly what they're doing.  Those of you with an attorney will first recieve a transmission letter telling you that the money has been sent to your attorney. Those who are pro se will get also get a transmission letter and their check sent directly to them. They would have done this no later than today, so expect the letter tomorrow.

I don't blame you for being anxious for all of this to be over.  It has lasted a long long time.  I'm happy that all of you will be getting paid very soon.

During the last distribution I received my check on the second day, it was such a bummer, had to wait all weekend.

Well, there was nothing for me today--but that is typical.  Maybe Monday.  It better be Monday!!

I was bummed too.  I figured it would work this way anyhow, it did the same thing the last time.  they know what they are doing, if something is wrong then they would have had to field a bunch of calls today and who wants to do that on a Friday, and they would loose a day of interest.


Lets see this thing has taken at least 2 years long than it was supposed to take, how much interest is that on a billion or so bucks, the longer they keep the money the longer they have jobs.  Oh well, all will be better on Monday--maybe.

> Well, I am kinda bummed that they did not get them all overnighted by the 5/8 deadline.  That means the attorneys will not be depositing until Mon, so it actually makes us have to wait 3 days longer for attorneys to have them cleared at their bank before we get ours!  Dang it! I was really hoping I would have mine by the 16th, but oh well.

Yes Howard, you're right about that. However, are you absolutely sure you've got the math down correctly??? If not, you might be getting all shook up for nothing.

The amount you should be recieving in hand from this final distribution is about $118,297. This is the way it's figured -

              $294,933          total
           -     18,875          6.4% common benefit fee
             ____________

    =        $276,058
           -      97,900        amount already recieved in first distribution
             ____________
    =         $178,158        amount of the check the 7th is sending for final distribution
           -      59,861        33.6% of $178,158 as balance of contingent fee
             ____________
    =         $118,297        Balance to you after 40% has been deducted.

> The order stated 30 days. Why was the order not followed. The firm I am with in Dallas had all of their phones forwarded to voice mail Friday, yesterday.  I sent an email and have always had a quick response back but no answer since Wednesday.  I too want to know,  for all of us, what is the name of the team of accountants, not class council or any persons associated with the seventh.  I don't believe the whole thing has been truly audited by a team of outside accountants.  The figures do not add up people/ just a bunch of numbers that entwine to make it more difficult to figure out.  I've gone to the CBS website to check into 60 minutes on maybe contacting them but then I wondered how many of us realize this ........   united we stand<


APRIL,
I think you need to sit back and take a deep breath. You're seeing boogeymen where none exists. The 7th Amendment is being administrated by an ACCOUNTING FIRM known as Heffler, Radetich & Saitta. The 7th fund administrator is Edward J Radetich Jr - an accountant and the executive director of the firm. All the rest in the firm are also accountants (CPA's)  I've got a feeling they're much more adept at tallying it all up than you are. Here's their website -
