Update on 7/14/2010 — still in limbo….

The Fairness Hearing was held on April 14, 2008, and the Court approved the Settlement on May 27, 2008. Appeals were subsequently filed contesting final approval of the Settlement. A hearing on these appeals was held on January 28, 2010, at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.
**On July 13, 2010, the appeals court sent the settlement back to a lower court for further consideration.**

Personally, I would LOVE to understand what the heck all these appeals are about! Settlement was approved over 2 years ago. I think they are dragging this out just so the greedy lawyers can keep more of the money for themselves and less to those of us who have a right to it based on this suit!

When I submitted, I said to myself,”self, one day about seven years from now, you will get a check in the mail for a couple of hundred dollars” then I let it go:)I noticed the paperwork today and checked in. It is coming. I’m patient.

We submitted a claim for about $30k, my engagement ring and wedding band. I’ll be happy if we see something, but i’m not optimistic:(

I submitted a $11K claim before the deadline, and was afraid everything had gone dark. Not dark, just grey. Useful commentary in this thread, and I agree…Ivonne should do her own homework. And if she doesn’t, we all benefit from her laziness. I checked the site today, still in appeals. That guy who said he received a check sounds like a nigerian spam scammer: I received a check for $1M, and if you can provide me 20% of that, I will receive the other $20M!

I too have filed a claim and was wondering on the status.

Thanks for keeping us informed.

I really don’t expect to get anything…but if I do..fine.

There have been no checks sent out so JASPL. My claim was sent in very early and no money. I had $20,000 in claims I submitted and there is no way to contact anyone. I wonder if this will be in appeals court forever.
