[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PLEASE GET OFF THIS FORUM.  Lawsuits of any kind at this sensitive time for the program strike me as destructive.  Plantiffs lawyers are trying to make a profit and that is why they are soliciting here.  Of course I understand that some families feel they have a legitimate complaint against an agency, but I don't think a class action lawsuit will help them (or other HFs) in any way.[/quote]

Agree fully.  The entire program is on the edge of a cliff at this moment, and the suggestion that a potential class action lawsuit will HELP the program is misguided, at best.    My guess is that this poster is a paralegal or other non-lawyer staff member at a law firm considering taking this case, who is trying to gather as many good class representative options as possible  (and they will pick the "best" ones to use in the caption when the suit is filed).

Nothing is perfect and hey, I guess if you and others (or rather, your clients) feel they were wronged, then have at it and bring suit.   There are already civil remedies available. as you have already noted (fraud claims ,etc), so I'm not sure why you think "Congress" is or should be part of this particular endeavor of yours (and frankly, I don't think you do plan to involve "Congress"... I think you are saying that here to get others to buy what you are selling). This is simply not an issue that will (or even should) be solved via legislation.   With all that is going on right now in the world, Congress does not care one ounce about tweaking the AP program  (which in any event is potentially going to be cut off at the knees by Executive Order, depending on the whims of our impulsive President).

So, please do not try to spin this as good for the AP program.  It's not.  All this will do is turn on yet another burner under an already boiling pot. But this poster doesn't care about that.

We don't know anything because you won't tell us anything.[/quote]
