GOLDSTEIN BARRY E JUDGE JUDGE 11

wow are they looking for more folks? I am a little fish.

ya - they owe me a few tho as well - would be interested to see if there is anyway to get included

being part of a group action you wont see shit , only the lawyer wins.

very true - but at least in that case IBill would loose and not get away with everything they have to this point

BTW.. That list is not complete. There are plenty more cases pending.

you have the list? post it please

It's about fucking time.

Too bad they left half the list out.

You'll get front row seats to see the mother fuckers burn.

satisfaction doesnt pay the mortgage lol

I don't have a complete list PC, but know of plenty others who have cases already pending or on the way thru at some stage at the moment.

Can't really say... but think this is a fair amount more and not just US companies.

There are also cases back to the time of InterCept which have still not been settled.

true very true - luckly wasnt dependant on it - but I feel for those which it really affected - obviously Ibill couldnt care less who eats and who doesnt - for being such a 1 time industry leader they certainly didnt fall from grace with any form of dignity - but instead decided to put the screws on everyone that they could get to continue business with them

Lawsuits are a matter of public record.

Cheers

and they still will come out the other side because 'greed' and 'newbies' will always be around. Unfortunately there are webmasters I talk to who are just starting out in this business who seriously wanted to go with IBill before I warned them.

Then there are others that for some $$ will post in here later on that IBill is good and you can trust them again. Its a simple pattern that has gone on for the 9 years I have been around this industry.

Good luck to everyone on the list

still rootin for your buddys over at ibill I see, now all we need is mandy in here to complete the circle jerk :1orglaugh

Complete rubbish...

Although the vast majority of lawyers won't entertain class actions on a contingency basis (which you are talking about) unless they believe they will win (and win big), they take all the risk and often have to lay out a lot of money in advance. The downside for complainants in - for example - cases against pharmaceutical companies, is not that the lawyers cream off too much in percentage terms, but that they settle for a sum which when divided around the thousands of people who might be involved, may not appear to pay individual claimants very much.

In any case, although most class actions are fought on a contingency basis because it is usually good strategy to involve as many claimants as possible, they don't have to be. Smaller, richer groups, confident of the result, can pay hourly rates, the same as for any other action.

Not rooting for anyone, they owe me 20 grand. Group suits the lawyers win plain and simple.

Holy shit. I now know why you were the most optimistic muthafucka on the board!

Thank you someone sees the light lol :)

Yes, in drug cases when they have 3 or 4 million people as part of the class action suit. But not in cases like this. I hope thei BURIES Ibill.

Is there any way of becoming involved with any of these suits? I am still owed 30k and am currently talking with an attorney, but it might be better for me if I can be a part of one of these actions.

If anyone who is currently owed $$ by Ibill is interested in combining resources, LMK.

So how do you suggest getting your money?

I have come to the resolve that the money ibill owes me is just gone and, as someone else said, the satisfaction of seeing them suffer won't pay the mortgage.

However, if ibill were to get by with this and no executives held responsible in the case they file bankruptcy and close up shop, what kind of message does that send to the next struggling cc processor of adult businesses?

I've talked to several webmasters who were taken for a tidy sum of money by other cc processors in recent years, although non nearly as big as Ibill. Hopefully, if all hell rains down on ibill and the executives held liable in the case of bankruptcy, then it should be an effective deterrent for this to happen again.
