Bankruptcy Information Note 6 - Bankruptcy Testimonials
Is there life after bankruptcy? Do you recover?
Yes,there is life after bankruptcy, and yes, given time, you do recover. I'd be the number 1 example of how the very worst situation in the world was taken on board, and turned around.
This came in September 2009 from somebody who I will identify as G from Melbourne.
Brought tears to my eyes.
Would this enlightening website
Help as it implies.
I'd read the website over
Double checked time and again
It gave a comprehensive insight
So I promptly emailed Fred
Of course we all have questions
Apprehension and disbelief
But this detailed information
Gave me some relief
The step by step instruction
And re-assurance too
Certainly made it easier
And helped me follow through
The website is amazing
The graphics ooze with peace
Everything's explained in order
The information is complete
Never doubt the relief you've bought
To many people's lives
Your experience has been invaluable
In describing lows and highs
Thank you Fred for sharing
Your time and knowledge too
I now can go on living
And that's because of you.
A tribute to a man who has lightened many loads,
In our hearts you will always be a hero.
The following extract from an unsolicited email that recently arrived, tells its own story.
Dear Fred,
I just wanted to let you know that your website is incredible and I wish I discovered it 18 months ago when we were faced with bankruptcy.
Caught in a dying business…….. my husband (and) myself were faced with the extremely hard decision of what to do …….
An insolvency expert simply advised my husband to trade for a couple of weeks, pack us up and ship us out, leaving the keys for the bank to pick up. This suited me as I honestly felt ready to break down. The thought of our children watching the creditors move in seemed worse.
We spent the next six months in a bit of a daze, and finally filed for bankruptcy.
The first year was hard for us, we felt down trodden and at the end of our tethers, and took a while to stand up straight.
Life is (now) truly looking brighter. My husband has just secured a long term permanent position…. And I can now reduce my hours again while the kids are at school.
So, bankruptcy isn't the end of the world, here we are 18 months later earning around $100k a year.
Continue the work with your website, it is sorely needed. If you had told me 12 months ago that things would be this good now I would have laughed and said "I had my chance at life and blew it, but now I can say that that's NOT TRUE, life is just beginning again."
Another fellow rang and simply said "Fred, you're a legend".
"I do appreciate the support and advice that I received from Fred Appleton and Helen Millward in steering me through what would otherwise have been a complicated process. Fred's website contains, in plain English, the background to the process, and the questionnaires sent by Helen are so simple and easy to complete. And the subsequent discussions with Helen, via email, are also very educational and very focused on the point. The whole process need not take any longer than one week. I was very impressed."
Hi Helen and Fred,
First and foremost my thanks to you both for your understanding and help. This may seem a small thing but the following has had a huge effect on my life…… I now no longer flinch when the phone rings or I get a knock at the door. Once again, my sincere thanks for all your help".
Fred, I would like to say that the original help that you gave me has changed my life. I was in so much trouble and now I am not. My own and my young daughters lives have improved immeasurably. My words cannot express in any way the extreme gratitude that I feel for the way you assisted us. Thank you so much.
Dear Fred, Thank you for all your help in this. It is so nice not to dread answering the phone or going out to the letterbox. I was amazed to find that the "stigma of bankruptcy" was not as bad as I feared.
Hi Fred, everything has gone very smoothly so far and I probably have the nicest insolvency officer on the planet.
Everything has gone smoothly just as you promised and I have now notified AGC that I can no longer make the payments and that they should come and pick up the car.
I know that you have heard this many times before but I cannot thank you and Peg enough for the help and relief that you have given me in my difficult situation. You have both been considerate, informative and above all, non judgmental during this time. I can now breathe a lot easier, learn from my mistakes, and get on with my life.
Again, THANK YOU is not a big enough phrase for how I feel that you have helped me, in some ways you saved my life.
Hi there Fred, just wanted to advise you of my progress since bankruptcy. This year I have bought a lovely house and now have a new lease on life. Thanks for your help, I haven't forgotten you.
In retrospect ITSA's responses seems remarkably quick, and they didn't have to ask a single supplementary question, a tribute to your professional preparation of the umpteen page submission.
and lastly, a gem
I have read them several times and think that they are well presented in that no bullshit style. I wish I could have read this before I ended up where I did.
Hi Fred, I wanted to say thank you for the advice and support provided through your site. I was in a real state of turmoil when I was facing the prospect of bankruptcy just over 3 years ago. I was broke and destitute at age 56 and wondering how I could have screwed up my financial affairs so badly. I came across your site and read it all from start to finish. I then enlisted your services to prepare my bankruptcy documentation and finally was made bankrupt on September 11th, 2007. (A rather auspicious date if I do say so myself).
Immediately a great weight was lifted from my shoulders, especially when those pesky debt collectors stopped calling. however, it hasn't been all beer and skittles since and it hurt like hell paying a large amount of after tax dollars each month to my trustee, but I guess there was no real alternative. Anyway, the good news is that I was officially discharged from my bankruptcy as of September 12th, this year and can now start to rebuild my life.
I wanted to send this message to you to say a very heartfelt thank you for the solace your site provided for me at a very dark time in my life. You will never know how much it meant to me to find someone who had been down the road I was about to travel and who knew it was possible to come out the other end with both your sanity and your personal dignity intact.
Thanks again Fred. Regards J..... Sydney (received December 2010)

So I asked him could I call back he gave me the number to call back but before I could call back he kept calling non stop but I was on my house phone with the police and I also called the social security office to try to get information about identity theft. By the time I finally answered the scammers call again I had already had 30 missed calls from him.
So I asked him send me information about the loan because I am not paying anything unless I have the information about when I took the loan out by this time he is yelling at me but sends over papers to my email but the paper are about making a payment obviously false documents someone just typed up. He then called back and asked did I receive the email I said see you in court and hung up the phone.
He called at least 20 times until I answered I said see you In court send me the papers on when I should be in court he said "I am not sending SH*T" It was kind of funny because he had an accent I then said OK well how will I know to be in court he said you need to send payment and you will not have to go to court. I said no I want to go to court he then said "I am going to f*ck your phone" Whatever that means. I then said okay f*ck my phone and hung up he then called back and said "Do you want my c*ck" These phone calls are very aggravating and he is still calling as I am typing this I feel sorry for anyone else who is having this problem as well I hope someone can put a stop to this.

The course information somewhat repetitive, basic at points, but semi-insightful. You will not find any revolutionary ideas and the price tag is not justified for the course or information. You may find a couple of nuggets, but you may be better served doing a google/amazon search on b2b marketing or visiting a local library.

think TAYD has any juice left for an afternoon delight?..peas out
next support at around 6.30
not good, broke down from that congestion at the gap fill.
thanks for the clarification of lmho, linquistics is a very important aspect of this board.
went through all that stuff about daytrading rules and equity awhile back, hope you don't get a daytrading equity margin call, because if you can't answer it, then your account becomes cash, meaning you got to wait 3 days before you can trade with the proceeds of any trade.
thought you'd get a "chuck-hole" out of the aexca remark!..just "spea-ewing back at ya'!..i know the feeling,bro'.
Also,nice callon the NFLX. You amaze me when you call it and it happens like you say. That is what I need to learn.
by the by, lmho has nothing to do with my "humble opinion". I laugh my head off not the other end.
"child-eater?" Where have I heard that before? lmho.
Good call Hogwash. "if it fills the gap?" Filled up. Bought some at 7.40 pressed enter and it dropped like it was my trade that broke it. Bought more at 6.80.
Got a nasty-gram from my broker. Says I don't have enough cash to be a pattern day trader so I have to hold it overnight, I guess.
could be wrong, but don't think this washout is the end of the momo. With all the media coverage of the terrible disaster in South Asia, think this has room to go still, especially during the holiday week. Not making a big bet here though, and will continue to concentrate on my bread and butter plays like I did today with NFLX.
picked some more up at 6.72...hold on to your ruler...peas out.
it's a "child-eater",huh?

Boost Mobile "Among the best" in Customer Service
AUTHOR: TechHead - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 14, 2009POSTED: Friday, August 14, 2009
Cellular phone companies are notorious for customer service problems. The brutal truth is that it is very expensive to deliver high-quality customer service and few customers are willing to pay what it cost. I am sure that many customers have had a bad customer experience with every wireless service provider in the business; however, Boost Mobile is above average.
Perhaps there were some problems with the initial launch of Boost's Unlimited Service, but that's not unusual for any company with a new service. Notice that there has been no complaints in a very long time.
Most recently Boost Mobile was chosen as "Among the best" in prepaid customer satisfaction. Boost Mobile was only 3 points (out of 1000 points) from the top rated firm in the study. Key competitors MetroPCS and Cricket rated at the bottom of this independent survey: http://www.jdpower.com/Telecom/ratings/prepaid-wireless-ratings

Customer care does need work

It was not long afterward that I first heard of Unlimited by Boost, and people at my call center began getting "CDMA training." At this time, they had three calling areas, North and South California and Texas. Their wait between calls stretched for half an hour on busy days even though activations took about twenty minutes since the process was new and no one had really done it before. Now that we have 19 HCAs and are expecting to expand even more in the next month or two, our entire call center has been converted to CDMA, but our queue regularly has 400 people on hold. We have four call centers with about three hundred or so people each trying to deal with thousands of people, and even though we have personally written reports to Boost that we need more call centers to handle this, they don't expect to begin hiring more people for months, now, after the next expansion.
Our troubleshooting steps are now non-existent, as well. We have one major reference if anything happens with your phone: the so-called "Watson's Troubleshooting List." We have to make sure your programming is correct, make sure you have the right phone, make sure you have the right price plan for the service that might not be working, check that you have additional money on your prepaid balance to cover extras that you may be trying to use, and make sure you're not on the phone. That's about it. Tech has a few more options that most of us are aware of, but we could technically be fired for using them ourselves (like the software and network updates).
Of course, as of now, we are not allowed to wait on hold more than 30 seconds for tech, even though their hold times are about thirty minutes. Otherwise we have to make a case, of which there are also so many that it no longer takes only 24 hours to get through them, it takes more like three days to a week, and the case workers have gotten so desperate to get through them they start closing cases for all sorts of ridiculous reasons like "had no contact number" or "did not state how long problem has been going on." Let's not forget that, unlike before, customers cannot talk to CDMA's tech team. They're too good to talk to customers; no, we have to mediate and we can't transfer anyone to talk to them personally.
I agree, customer care for UbB needs definite work. But don't be angry at the agents for not being able to help you. We are honestly trying to help you guys out as much as we can, so much, in fact, that Boost has actually been getting a lot of us agents in trouble for trying to take steps to get a first call resolution. They say that's a thing of the past, nevermind that this was the concept that was drilled into our heads from day one. Most of us still believe in it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Hi i'm getting an conflict with a plugin that my premium theme rely's on when using the Better WP Security plugin.
Plugin:Google Maps made Simple
Error message: "The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The "sensor" parameter specified in the request must be set to either "true" or "false""
I have no idea what setting within Better WP Security needs to be switched off in order to fix this issue?
I have deactivated the Better WP Security plugin and the error goes away.
The plugin is reactivated now and the link to see the error message is:
Not sure if this helps but I found this fix on stack overflow:


text: Hi I'm very interested in trying out your plugin. I have a couple of questions: I use an author template file to create author pages, as described in the WP codex. Is this plugin compatible with that? Will it allow users to create their own rich text bios and upload images to their author page? Finally, can I limit its use to authors and contributors, relegating basic subscribers to WP's standard profile?

Skincare tips: Runner w/ calluses, dry lips, early fear of wrinkles, etc
Please help a 28 year old woman overcome her sundry skin terrors: I'm a runner who is tired of having ugly feet (callused skin, short and warped toenails). I also suffer from prescription medication-induced dry mouth that Biotene toothpaste/mouth spray only marginally help. The dry mouth contributes to my chronically chapped lips. My hormonal birth control causes vaginal dryness and I want to solve this potentially by changing HBCs instead of treating the systems with Premarin. Plus, I'm trying to take more action than ever to protect my facial skin and other skin from premature aging. [more inside]

What was your experience getting off the pill after many years on it?
A lot of people experience intense moods and emotions while their body transitions off the hormones. After that, some people notice that their personality has changed one way or the other for good. I've real some studies that show hormonal birth control also has an effect on the kind of person you are attracted to when you are on it. Does this mean you might not be as attracted to the person you're already with? What was your experience?

Is her birth control medicine made from dehydrated horse piss?
An ex-girlfriend of mine was telling me that she recently went off of birth control for the first time in years because she found out it was made through some form dehydrating female horses and then processing thier piss. Sounds like an urban legend to me, but I can't find anything on google in either direction. Any clues?

Confusing, but great.I love this show. The one issue I have is it is very confusing. Things keep resetting, and just when I get used to the change. I am on episode V as of writing this, and the constant change bugs me a bit. Despite that the show is great, and I highly recommend it.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Not bad, but not great.I went into Amnesia knowing fully (well mostly) what I was getting into. A typical cookie-cutter sort of shoujo series that was based on an otome visual novel series (for all of you new to these terms, a series for girls where a female protagonist has many male characters whose attentions she can garner) so I wasn't expecting an original storyline and Amnesia didn't deliver one. That isn't to say ...Read more
Surprisingly... AMAZING9.5/10 starsRead more
Amnesia is about exactly what the title says; amnesia itself. Except, this anime has a darker deeper plot twist that will make your mind blow, like completely. So, it's mainly about this girl, don't even remember her name, LOL. She wakes up with amnesia, not remembering anything of what had happened in her life so far and a fairy/spirit Orion shows up and tries to help her ...
Interesting concept but it's lackingThis anime was unique from the normal shoujo anime's however, it just wasn't as enjoyable compare to other one's I've watch. The heroine was the same old heroine and was very bland, why she was the center of every guy's affections I don't get. However the amnesia aspect made it very intriguing and made me keep watching, if I had known that there wasn't going to be a solid ending with her finally ...Read more
I love this anime so much!!!Well the title tell you I love it so Ill tell you why I love it to the point of buying so many key chines that I am not ashamed to flash around. I saw the opening theme on Tumblr and just had to find it, the art work really caught my attention and their eyes are so beautiful. Yes the main charter is bland and I did not like that about her BUT when I found out this was a game and you ( the ...Read more
I Enjoyed It. Very Interesting...I liked this show it drew me in. I like the ending and how she jumped from one world to another. It was kind of ironic that the man who was her true lover ended up being the one who was trying to kill her. Honestly I liked how she didn't hate Toma or was scared of him for trapping her in a cage. She poker faced through the whole thing XD. The one thing I didn't like about this anime was that we ...Read more
My Guilty ConfessionI read a lot of reviews before starting this series. I trusted those reviews that gave it 3 or 2 stars. They were 100% right but I watched it anyway. Why? I admit to my own shallowness: I just wanted to see some gorgeous anime guys LOL. Frankly I got my wish fulfilled and was delighted by the eye-candy.Read more
The heroine on the other hand had the personality of a lemon. No wait, lemons are sour and ...
Amnesia was actually good.The art style was beautiful. The story did faulter in parts, but it was a good story. Though I have to say the whole replaying a time period to get different results thing is being over played lately. Funny though my favorite character was the evil guy trying to kill her.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful:Great Art and Ideas but.........terribly, terribly executed. I adore a great shoujo and I absolutely love reverse harem games. So I had high hopes for this anime. The plot idea was great, intriguing and I was immediately pulled in, but the way this anime was executed was really bad unfortunately.Read more
Lets start with the heroine. I get it, reverse harems are meant to in a way meant to make a female(or male) envision ...
Pretty good, sometime confusingI liked most of this show. it was fun getting to see all the sides of the story. I didn't care for the ending but I would probably watch it again at some point. took a little bit to get into. fun characters though.

you idiots..so i can buy more!!!
I would like to buy some myself but I will wait for $35.
You have an assumption if CTL goes to 35, it will bounce back to 45.Back in the 90s, CTL went from 40+ to the 20s.It can happen again.CTL back in the 80s and 90s routinely split 3:2.If divvy reduced or go back to <2%, for some kind of reason such as the business model changed, selling continues. Percentage of landline phones reduced while cell and smartphones on the rise. Technology might be CTL's undoing.Swallowing a whale in Q is not easy.

Anderson does not have the qualities for PM
July 20 2012 at 10:58 AM
Response to
3three vaterans coalition?
Please be realistic. Anderson does not have the qualities for PM. He cannot even manage to keep his party URP together and got outplayed by William Duma.
He got outplayed by another Southern Highlander for PM.
He possesses rhetoric skills however he is more an individual type of operator. In terms of running an organisation or group of members, he does not have the necessary track record.

I have seen Dr. Fishman 3 times. Each time he was in a hurry. Anytime I have asked a question he avoids the question. He is very unprofessional and condescending. I have seen and worked with many physicians and he is by far the most rude doctor I've ever dealt with. The office staff is also unfriendly.
this doctor is very rude and unprofessional. Those are his good points. In addition he misdiagnosed to me and charge me an arm and a leg for spending three and a half minutes with me. I wish I would have done some research I'm him before I had seen him
Do NOT waste your time or money with this quack
came into this hospital for the first time in my life due to a mild sleep apnea i had, i was sent to a sleep study which the result was turned in the next day to the hospital, i never heard from them till after 4 weeks when i went to demand for my result nd guess what, the result was not ready, after showing great sign of anger on the nurse, she rescheduled me for my result discussion the next week. I was sent back for titration study at the sleep center and up till now i have not heard from them. great compound, neat environment, good doctor but HORRIBLE staff, the nurses look down on people and if you dare call for an appt etc, you'll be kept on the phone for more than an hour. final conclusion am changing clinic and i encourage every one of you to do the same...their treatment to patients is insane

Definition of slugfest in English:
nounNorth American informal
A tough and challenging contest, especially in sports such as boxing and baseball: the fight brought back memories of the classic 1976 Lyle-Foreman slugfest those hearings turned into a rushed, circus-like political slugfest
More example sentences
- Covering these slugfests blends sports reporting and instant history.
- This is basically an even matchup, a toe-to-toe slugfest of a heavyweight championship battle in the making.
- Both were settling into the fight, which was establishing itself as a boxing match and not a slugfest at all.

CONCORD -- Wendy Citron says she is furious about repeated problems with the Mt. Diablo district's special education bus system, including several incidents in which the bus never showed to pick up her daughter.
The Concord woman sent an email letter of complaint to the school board saying she had spent more than an hour a day talking to district staff, trying to find out how her daughter would be transported.
Parents like Citron are frustrated with repeated problems with special education student busing. The problem has been going on for two years in the district, which has been transitioning from a contracted transportation service to its own buses.
School officials say they're working to address the issue and hope to find a solution before next school year.
"Unfortunately, it is no longer a question of when and where, but if my child will be picked up," Citron wrote Sept. 7. "This problem exists not just for my family, but several other MDUSD families at Marchus School and at many other school locations districtwide."
About 100 parents a day flooded the district with calls after school started Aug. 30, complaining children were being stranded at home or at school with no transportation -- or were being dropped off at the wrong address, Mildred Browne, assistant superintendent for special education, said during a parent Community Advisory Committee meeting Sept. 12.
Parent Mike Mayo said his autistic son Jake, who is a third-grader, was left at El Monte Elementary in Concord with no bus. He took his concerns to the school board on Sept. 13, saying his son missed out on important after-school services because the bus didn't show up.
"That's a week worth of services we will never get back," he said. "That's a week worth of progress he will never make."
Board President Gary Eberhart asked district staff to report back to trustees on the issue.
"I know a lot of work is being done to try to alleviate this," he said. "You cannot leave kids at school. It just can't happen. I want to know what we're going to do to resolve this."
By Thursday, Superintendent Steven Lawrence had responded in writing to Mayo, explaining that the district had taken on responsibility for busing all students in an attempt to save money.
Last year, the board agreed to discontinue a contract with Durham Transportation through the Contra Costa County Office of Education.
"It was the responsibility of all the managers, including myself, to ensure that (the) transportation (department) was prepared to meet the demands," Lawrence wrote to Mayo. "This does not fall on the shoulders of one individual, and it is unfortunate that this was not shared with the (community advisory committee). You are correct that all principals and teachers should have had bus route information for their students on the first day of school."
Bus driver Becky Wright said the transportation department has been giving drivers wrong information.
"We're going into our second start of the school year, and it's still the same fiasco," she said. "Information being put out to us is incorrect -- the wrong address, wrong bell times -- so we're running around out there like chickens with our heads cut off. This is not new. This has been going on for two years."
Greg Rolen, the district's general counsel, oversees the transportation department. He said Monday that the department had received no complaints that day and that the special education department had received two.
"We think we're well on our way to resolving these issues," he said. "We don't really know how many complaints there were and each complaint is individual."
He said drivers had informed parents about which bus their children should be riding, but he was unsure whether parents would be given that information in writing.
Rolen said he is preparing a report for district trustees to address the busing issue.
"I am in the process of putting together some of these numbers and identifying the challenges we faced," he said. "There's not a time frame for that, because we're still working through these first three weeks of school."

The Internal Revenue Service is giving tax payers affected by Hurricane Sandy until Nov. 7 to file returns and payments that came due Oct. 31.
The relief mainly applies to businesses whose payroll and excise tax returns and payments are due October 31, according to the IRS.
The IRS may grant more relief for taxpayers, depending on disaster declarations issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

An arrest has been made in a series of armed robberies in Meridian and Lauderdale County.
Investigators say 37-year-old Turner Raymond Alford of Meridian was arrested this weekend.
Alford is charged in connection with four different armed robberies in the city over the last couple of months, as well as similar crimes in Lauderdale County.
Sheriff Billy Sollie said this is an example of the sheriff's department and police department working together by sharing information with the same goal of catching the person responsible.
"I heard, really I heard him, and I looked at the monitor and saw it," said store clerk Dee Higginbotham. "I heard him say, 'Give me all your money. I'm not playing.' And I saw him on the monitor with a knife stuck up to this throat or stuck up to him and then he came around the cash register."
Sheriff Sollie says one factor helping authorities crack cases like these is quality surveillance cameras, which provide a clear image of the suspect.
Authorities say Alford has been connected to at least five holdups:
December 12 - North Hills Gas and Go
March 13 - CEFCO
March 13 - Tobacco World
March 20 - North Hills Gas and Go
March 20 - CEFCO Collinsville
The cases against Alford will be presented to the Lauderdale County grand jury in August.

Sorry - no tickets available
The Rivals : Bristol Old Vic Theatre School
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School's International Acting Course presents Richard Brinsley Sheridan's uproarious comedy of manners, The Rivals.
Young Captain Absolute, son and heir of wealthy Sir Anthony, arrives in Bath to court the rich and lovely Lydia Languish. His ploy, to appeal to her romantic nature by appearing as 'penniless' Ensign Beverley, backfires when he discovers Lydia prefers an elopement with Beverley to a marriage with Absolute!
But what of her fortune? And what will Lydia's censorious Aunt, Mrs Malaprop, say about all this? "Sure if I reprehend anything in this world, it is the use of my oracular tongue, and a nice derangement of epitaphs".
For an hilarious and witty comedy, come meet The Rivals. Surely "never was anything better perpetrated".

So in 2009/2010 no different bring everything with me as required by law and they proceeded too do my income tax for me now I have no clue how too do this which is why i bring it to them and have them do it as they are supposedly the specialist in this area. There was a worker and still is her name i am assuming is edna. she is one who did my income tax for me. supposedly correctly gives me the papers i am too sign that proves everything i provided them was correct which it was income statement's from odsp and rent reciepts nothing more as i don't work nor would i do anything that would cause me problems with my income as i need to live. [continued below]....
Well anyways they supposedly give me back money i am supposed too get cause assuming they used all my information to complete it for me. Well low an behold a couple years go by and i get a notice from them claiming i got 154.00 that wasn't suppose too come too me because apparently edna did not use my odsp income statement's so because of this i am suppose too pay them back this money which has now rose too 172.00. Which i told them listen what did this lady do with my income statement's i brought in.
no answer only too keep saying i have too pay this money back cause they messed up on their end and did not get paid so they expect me to repay their loss which i am sorry i don't feel i am they made mistake so i feel they should bite the bullet on it not my fault so what happens they go ok well since you won't pay us this cash your going into collection angentcy. So my ? is this what can be done about this cause i do not feel i owe them the money they were dumb enough not to make sure they did my income tax right. And i called revenue canada and they said the same thing it is not my fault nor am i responsible for their mistake.
But as result i haven't been able too do my 2011/2012 income tax as i have too wait till revenue canada sends me a note stating i do not owe the government but h&R block only. And than i have to get my income tax done somewhere's else and hope they don't mess it up. Cause i do not need my income messed with because odsp wants too know everything i do with income i get an claim right so i feel that h&r block is trying to scew around with my income. it is like they are trying to say oh i didn't bring my income statement's which was not true she had em on her desk with rent reciepts so if she didn't complete it right or use my income statements than what did she do with them.
Sorry for the lenth but was only ways too get this out too you. hope everything makes sence. ty for time hope too hear some good new's that willl put an end too their garbage they are trying to pull on me.

UPDATE: Dick Clark Productions Responds To HFPA's Surprise Golden Globes Lawsuit
UPDATE: Dick Clark Prods. just released a statement in response to HFPA's lawsuit against it."The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., knowing it has no case in a court of law, is attempting to try this case in the court of public opinion," the statement said. "We are confident the case has no merit in either venue. Our respective rights under the contract are clear. The HFPA cannot unilaterally change the basis on which DCP and the HFPA have done business for almost three decades."
PREVIOUS: This is a sudden and pretty nasty falling out between the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. and Dick Clark Prods., which had been partnered on the Golden Globe Awards for the past two decades. The HFPA, the organization behind the awards, today filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Dick Clark Prods., the Red Zone Capital-owned company which produces the awards show. In the suit, filed this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, HFPA accuses DCP of "attempting to assume complete control over the rights to the show." The complaint alleges that on Oct. 29, DCP secretly signed a new license agreement with NBC for the Golden Globe Awards that runs from 2012 through 2018 without consulting with the HFPA. "DCP acts as though it has unilateral right to license the broadcast rights for the Golden Globe Awards on whatever terms it pleases, without HFPA's knowledge or authorization," the suit said. DCP declined comment. Under the current agreement between HFPA and DCP, which expires after these coming Golden Globes, the production company gets 50% of the net profits from the telecast. The suit alleges that DCP signed the new deal with NBC "all behind HFPA's back and all the while pretending to negotiate a new contract with HFPA," for terms that HFPA believes undervalue the franchise. (The license fee from NBC reportedly starts at $17 million in 2012 and rises to $26 million in 2018). Other accusations include alleged DCP attempts to "steal" rights to the Golden Globes from HFPA to "exploit the Golden Globe-related marks, license the digital and other ancillary rights" without HFPA's consent. The suit seeks damages as well as a preliminary and permanent injunction against DCP and Red Zone from using the Golden Globe trademarks for anything not related to coming show.
Without Dick Clark Production, the HFPA would have zero credibility. For years, the HFPA only existed to feed non-working "journalists" and to take lavish gifts and trips.
If the folks at dcp had any brains they would have waited until their deal with the HFPA had been re-upped, to do this with a pending expiration is nuts.
Aw, that HFPA is just upset they get any free watches in the deal…
i love any mention of those watches!
As one who has worked on the GG many time's and done show's for dcp for 28 yr's, this is a case most likely of them having one contract with NBC that reads different than the one with HFPA.
It's standard practice for networks to ask production co's to re-up 18-24 mo's ahead of time. That's how they plan their long term strategy.
dcp is one of the most honest co's in Hollywood.
I speak for myself only.
And not only did the HFPA file the suit, one of its members probably served the papers on DCP in his daytime job as a process server. :-)
Now that's funny!
Does anyone else find DCP's response to the lawsuit amusing?
"The HFPA cannot unilaterally change the basis on which DCP and the HFPA have done business for almost three decades."
It doesn't matter how many years they have been working together. Their contact is up, so either party can change the way they do business. DCP has been taking advantage of the HFPA for years – pocketing more and more money, assuming the HFPA would never notice. Looks like they finally got too greedy.
Will someone PLEASE come up with a similar award show? Call it the GOLDEN WORLD and make it more meaningful. For some reason a Golden Globe has meant something – mainly due to the format Dick Clark Productions put in place with input from HFPA. Someone needs to shut HFPA down once and for all. Sure, they give a good party but anyone can do that. This award show could be duplicated with industry professionals in ALL fields just like the Globes. Globes are outdated and the public, even the a lot of people in receipt of the award – DO NOT UNDERSTAND the organization. The organization, the 5 people in it (see I don't even bother to keep track anymore) take free stuff, etc. Get them out. Dick Clark MADE that show, he may not be really running DCP at all anymore but really. Morons.
I just hope the result is a long and revealing court case where we can come here for the blow by blow dirt on exactly how the HFPA operates in this town. Please PLEASE go to trial. Oh the simple joy!
The HFPA for year just want to be know as a front runner for the Oscar… well they are NO OSCAR! they are a bunsh of freeloaders who are flown all over the world and the butts are kissed for their nomination, and if they do not give it to the right person, ther are rip to shreds.
It all comes down to what they can get. If it was not televised, look what happened 2 years ago with the writers strike. Oscars wnt on, SAG went on… they were made the joke.
How many gift bags and free dinners will Dick Clark have to splurge on to settle this lawsuit?
The HFPA could use a better logo or at least some color because the line drawing looks at first glance like an erect penis.
Nikki, I would love to know your take on the HFPA, how they operate and what they are all about and more the why of it? Every person I work with who has to work with them hates the experience. How can that be? How do they survive and why? And people are afraid to piss them off? What is the deal?
Any light you can shed would be truly helpful.
Does the HFPA even know how old Dick Clark is?
Good! I hope HFPA sues the pants off DCP.
I'm not a huge fan of the HFPA, nor do I understand their legitimacy in this town, but DCP has gone down the toilet since Dick sold the company.
The current group of decision makers consists of a bunch of wannabe nobodies. The blame isn't with Snyder (after all, what does one with a background in sports teams and venture capital know about show production), but with sweatshop-like running President Orly Adelson. Her story is that she's a former Israeli lieutenant turned producer who worked her way from the bottom with a few breaks on the way. Nice story but A. How rare is a female lieutenant in a country where it is mandatory to serve? B. She got the job from being close (lets not even go there) with Six Flags CEO Mark Shapiro (Six Flags is owned by RedZone). Spend two minutes listening to her talk, and you'll swear you're talking to a combination of The Nanny and Tweety Bird. There is no substance there.
Post Dick retiring and selling DCP, it's gone from a respectable company to a sweatshop for young talent and naive interns (unless one is lucky to be part of a union) who work hours on end and get paid either nothing or minimum wage with false promise of opportunity while the fat cats on top do little, rake in the profits, and refuse to take care of their people due to "no money" or "budget constraints."
So I'm on the side of the five fat cats who don't manipulate young talent and minorities.
Really? The HFPA is the most self seriving group ever created. The arrogance they present goes beyond unprofessional. What does the HFPA bring to the table except ego?
