Tuggers Are Making A Difference!
Good Afternoon Carolinian,
If this is true, then RCI DELIBERATELY or incompetently put false information in the notice they have online. According to section 15 of that notice, all that is required is name, address, and phone number. That should void the notice or RCI should not be able to object when it is its own fault that people would not put that additional information in their letters. This is just the sort of sneaky and underhanded trick one would expect from the likes of RCI.
The Notice and the requirements of the Court have been inconsistent for some time. You would think that by now someone with the power to fix the inconsistencies would have done so.
Before putting out my Informational Instructions, I did my best to get accurate definitive information.
The Summaries posted at RCI.com, including Section 15 of the Notice that you refer to above have left out necessary required information.
I chose to include any information that was required in the Settlement Agreement, as filed with the Court on November 21, 2008. In that document
more information was required than what was published in the Summary that you referred to above. To see the requirements which are in pdf format go to
http://www.weeksprogramsettlement.com/courtdocs.htm and then go to page 268.
Because the Settlement Agreement required
more rather than less information, I chose the more information approach.
The Attorneys involved have been paid big bucks to get things right; but they are human and being human they make errors which confuse the rest of us.
For Example: Using the Actual Settlement Agreement as my guide, I originally published the address of the Plaintiff's Attorney to include his street address. (It was
MORE information than was required; but the Settlement Agreement specifically included the street address.)
Guess what! The Plaintiff's Attorney did not like the use of his street address so he indirectly contacted me and insisted that I change the address published at TUG and at
www.rciclassactionlawsuit.com.
Before that address was changed to omit the street address many objection letters were filed using the Form Letter published at
www.rciclassactionlawsuit.com.
I can assure you that letters (properly completed), using the format provided meet the requirements of the Court with or without the street address of the Plaintiff's attorney included.
The fact that so many objectors have used that Form Letter is a testment to the fact that we here at TUG are making a difference.
For anyone looking for a simple way to file your objection please go directly to the Informational Instruction and scroll down to Informational Instruction # 6. There you will find the Form Letter. A shortcut link is provided here:
