CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

[bonho]

Anyone given any consideration to this? There may be enough of us that we can band together and sue the pants off of AU for unprofessional and devious conduct, not to mention abuse of funds and not fulfilling a contract in a timely fashion. I have just about had it with them and their freaking nonresponsiveness. I had to threaten them with small claims court to get their asses in gear to refund my triple-billings. Now I am given the runaround about where the DVD is six months after I was billed for it (well, the FIRST billing, I was billed again in July and again in August). I am beyond pissed off now, I don't care WHO was driving the goddamned truck. I think [b]SIX MONTHS[/b] is long enough to wait. Ross and Co need to be disciplined in the worst possible way, and I think a class action lawsuit is just the way to do it. Any lawyers out there (I know there are!) who could advise on this?

This has been hinted at and many people have appeared to be interested in a class action suit. If you do a search on the board for "class action" you'll find the threads with feedback from supposed lawyers.

One caveat, however, is that people are getting their DVDs. It's only the west coast people so far, but several east coast people have received tracking numbers and so many of us here on the east are hopeful. I wasn't one of the ones who received an e-mail. Anyway, good luck getting your DVDs and respond back with new information on a suit if you have any after reading previous stuff.

Here is something I found on a website regarding Class Action Lawsuits:

Many people have questions about class actions. What are they? Am I included? How do I find out if a class action has been filed for a product I bought?

Here are some informational websites that address these and many other common questions about class action litigation. Many of them provide newsletters with updates, and even a listing of many class action attorneys across the country.

http://www.classaction.com

A good informational site that allows consumers to ask member attorneys questions without cost or obligation. It also has a large informational database regarding many common issues in relation to large-scale lawsuits.

http://classaction.findlaw.com

A wealth of knowledge can be found on this website. It has a large informational database regarding most of the common class action suits. Additionally, it includes information about settlements, recalls, and other notices. There are also several e-newsletters that are available.

http://www.bigclassaction.com

A good website which includes a breakdown of categories and subject-matter frequently found in class action lawsuits. It lists new class actions filed and recent settlements. At the bottom of the page, there is a place for entering your e-mail address to receive notification of new class actions, class action settlements, and verdicts. Additionally, there is a system for contacting class action attorneys about your complaint.

http://securities.stanford.edu/

A nice site run by the Stanford Law School. It provides detailed information relating to the prosecution, defense, and settlement of federal class action securities fraud litigation.
