that if you do not receive pay by (the date), you will file a lien on her business and her house, and may take her to Judge Judy  I guarantee you will get your money faster than going to small claims court, spending less time going to court, etc.

You don't have to hire a lawyer. Write the letter yourself, but
make sure you send it "return receipt requested" and give a specific date payment needs to be received by.
If you hire an attorney (sm)
you an also request reimbursement for your expenses, court costs and attorney fees. I would mention this in my letter to the MTSO also. If this MTSO does this to you I guarantee you are not the only person they are doing it to.
Good luck
I'd still hire an attorney, especially if the blame game is involved.
If either or both parties are getting nasty, it's best to go by the book and make sure all your T's are crossed and all your I's are dotted. Can't do it on your own if there is any anymosity involved.
I'd hire an attorney and do a quickie divorce. They're cheap and well worth it.
If it's uncontested the attorney can help you amicably sort through what needs to be split and do it fairly and according to the laws of your state. This will avoid potential problems later.
I would write one more letter and CC: to
the insurance commissioner and your insurance company. Write the letter to your physician's office, enclose copies showing proof of your payment of co-pays one more time. I found whenever I had CC to the Insurance Commissioner, then people got serious about finding the correct records...
Where I am we can write a letter asking to be excused - sm
presuming it presents a hardship for you. At the time I was ferrying my 1 daughter to Children's Hospital 2 x a week for speech therapy, to preschool and had 2 kids under the age of 3 and 4 (got called twice a year apart). So I always had a child at home and no family in the area to take care of my various commitments. They excused me both times. Now if I get called now I don't think I will be able to get out of it as both are in school now, we are done with speech therapy finally, and I can always reschedule anything else if I had too. I would see if you could write a letter, call them and ask, explain your employment situation and with any luck they will excuse you due to hardship. Good luck.
write a letter and send it to the higher ups.
Also, I think PC Magazine and other websites have complaint areas where you can turn businesses in for crummy customer service. The company would rather satisfy the customer than get bad press. Also, complain to the BBB or the FTC. You can make yourself heard.
Manager, if no help, never go back. write a letter saying why
be calm. depends on how big a *bad service* it was - the one I hate the most is where they act like they are doing me a favor to wait on me. That one I always report.
I would write a letter to AHDI and tell THEM, too, why you are dropping. sm
Your opinion and reasons, as someone who was a part of them for so many years and saw NO benefit from it, is a truth they need to be told over and over.
I'm going to write my own letter. Harder to ignore if
thousands of letters, all written differently, still say the same thing. That way they know it's not just a form-letter (like the kind they always send to US.)
Is there someone willing to write a form letter? See blog post
I will put in on my blog and promote the heck out of my blog.
A while back I suggested we all write a letter to the editor about this . sm
I did, and they declined to print it. Evidently it's not a big issue in the minds of some. Individually we can't do anything about it. Perhaps collectively. We need a petition to go to ALL senators and representatives from our respective states, and none of this "anonymous" stuff, either.
Another good idea is to write a letter to the editor...sm
of your local/state newspapers telling people what is happening with their medical records and the downside of them being sent to India. Most people have no clue.
someone just e-mailed me "how to write a letter to your Senator" -
I responded to this e-mail and attached a sample for her (Sarah) to send to her Senator, but came back as not deliverable. Just speak from your heart when you write. Be respectful, "Dear Senator, thank you for representing our state" And then tell your story so to speak, how things are effecting you. That bringing IT jobs (not just MT, but anything that contains our private information, credit card processing, debt collection, etc.) would not only deter the rampant increase in identity and medical identity theft, but would bring American jobs back to America, American MONEY back to America to be spent in America! Good luck to all
It is so easy to post a letter on a newspaper editorial or magazine. Everybody write one.
If you have a story to tell - get busy. Go to news shows, magazines, newspapers. It is so easy. Talk about the MT business or about the whole offshore process and its cost to the U.S. Any and everything written only solidifies our total point of view. GO TO whitehouse.com for sure. Don't wait for others to carry this for you. Support Travelin MT's efforts on the company board!!!!
exactly, atty said it may be for
say the last quarter, catch up, check up and ooops...we mis caluculated, so they are trying to work backwards in just as you said, anticipation of the legal issues, hearing, discovery, etc.
He found it rather odd that no one had heard from the suits for the MT's class action about the checks, so again, he thinks it's just MQ catching up their crooked calculations. 
Esq after their name is to an atty as
Attorney's wife
advise to atty
To begin with, a GOOD attorney is going to ask another doctor where mistakes are made, not us. The person who takes a deposition is the one who may ask for interpretation of the transcrtiption because most of them are not able to accurately transcribe medical dictation and our opinion is only worth what we interpret from listening to the doctor's tape. We are not medical experts but we are considered experts in interpretation and transciption. Belive me, I know. I've been in court twice relating to transcription and interpretation of a "tape" NOT making a judgment call on something that is only transcribed and has no tape to back it up. We are not allowed to make diagnoses. A good court reporter will ask for assistance in cases where this are problems with an ESL or similar. I have several that I assist with this part and since I am certified and have many years' experience, I am able to hold some weight with the court as an "expert". This is also part of our job and it has nothing to do with a Transcriptionist working against another transcriptionist, so your attitude is way out of line.
talked to an atty about the MQ checks
Nope, go ahead and cash them as I already have. If they had anything to do with ANY kind of settlement, it would clearly have to say so. It just says adjustment, period. He also said that since the class actions go over many different platforms dating back before the days of DQS, no way it could be a settlement.
Go shopping he told me, it does not state anywhere it's a settelment. He says just like any other legal document, "by signing the below or cashing this, you are giving up your right to yada yada yada.
Buy if from your husband. Have him write you a receipt. Write it off completely or
depreciate it over a few years.
If it's a business letter you use a colon. if it's a personal letter you use a comma. nm
:
they don't REFUSE to hire new MT's. They REFUSE to hire them at 6-8 cents per line.
mostly because you can now hire experienced MT's at 6-8 cpl. In the near future, you will be able to hire experienced MT's at 5 cpl. Then people will start getting out of this business and new people will stop trying to get in. I had a job opening and asked people to bid what they wanted per line. One very smart young lady was a new grad and bid 3 cpl. I hired her a year and a half ago, she has been terrific! and I was willing to spend my time training her because a) time is money and she saved me money so I could spend my time and b) she had definite potential!. In another six months, she will be the MT with 2 years experience applying for jobs. AND she will get them because she will test well and essentially "bought" her experience. So use Economics 101...
Get an attorney now
Find an attorney that will take your case - then let them write the letter. Just talk to a couple who handle medical malpractice -these are severe medication errors.
attorney general
good idea. I have contacted an attorney already (I am a corp by myself so I have access to an attorney) and he states that legally there is nothing right now that I can do. I can possibly sue them later down the road, but they have not done anything illegal. He suggested to try and "sugar" them into paying me. I will contact the attorney general's office. The company and I are in the same state, so that helps tremendously.
Get an attorney and have them draw one up for you. sm
It costs about $200 and well worth it!
You can usually call an attorney and
But, you do have a receipt and the title. Let the person go ahead and make a fool of himself. You owe him nothing, don't let him bully you.
PS - Am very sorry for your loss.
power of attorney
by QA mgr says im supposed to capitalize but i dont agree (so i dont, hehe)
He was my divorce attorney

Call an attorney, but ....sm
In the state of NC a few years back, one person could not force the other to sell in this situation. I went through something similar with my siblings. I ended up buying their portions.
But, no, at that time and again in my state, you cannot be forced.
You get an attorney to type it up...sm
My dad's attorney typed it up for me and I had it notarized and then MAKE TONS OF COPIES because you have to prove you are able to make decisions for your Mom. I had this power of attorney for 10 years, my dad dying last January.
I suppose you could get some form.....even probably at Office Depot...I got a living will there, actually a package of them. It's just more complete to have an attorney do this 2-page paper for you...and not terribly expensive either.
Best of luck to you and your Mom. 
Consult an attorney....
He'll tell you everything you need to know to operate a business, and it will be an hour's worth of money well spent......
You need a good attorney NOW!! My
friend's sister died at the age of 51 because a doctor prescribed birth control pills for the mood swings of menopause without first checking her triglycerides or doing any blood work. Her triglycerides were very elevated, and the addition of the medication caused her pancreas to shut down and she died. There is a big lawsuit on this one, too.
I would get an attorney to fire off a ...
letter. I have had to do that several times in the past (not MT related), and it is amazing how quickly things are resolved. It has only cost me $35 to explain the situation to the attorney and have a short letter sent. I think it would be well worth it in your case...$35 vs. $1300.
Also, be sure to send the letter certified, return receipt requested. Even though that is only to obtain proof of delivery, there seems to be something "official" about it...and that can't hurt. 
I think you should consult an attorney
who specializes in modifications and have them do a forensic audit of your loan. Are you in one of those toxic arms? WFB might be forced to modify your loan if attorney discovers any discrepancies. If you don't want to consult an attorney I would suggest calling the lender and asking to speak to someone in the loss mitigation department. The regular Joes in customer service aren't qualified to help you. Be prepared to reference paystub/bill information and spend awhile on the phone. I wish you well.
Capitalize Power or Attorney or not?
Hmm. Every doc, nurse, attorney, accountant
I know is making WAY good money and none are working at McD's!!! LOL
Husband is a corporate attorney
He makes more than I do - obviously.
We must follow our attorney's advice. (NM)

Still, I say find a good attorney way outside your

Prosecuting attorney's office.
I would call a tax attorney/accountant in

My husband is an attorney and suggested the same thing to me once.
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos152.htm
It definitely sounds more promising than MT but it does also sound like you'd be back to Square One with training/schooling.
It may be well worth it.
Best of luck whatever you decide!
Cool! My DS has a BS in criminal justice and my DH is an attorney!
.
contact the attorney general for their state
and never let them get away with that.
this business gets worse every day. it is really a shame, but soon it will be even worse! it gets worse seriously, every single day. Years ago this was decent and every single year I face more BS and hear more BS. We need a frigging revolution. FAce it...! India cannot make it w/o our editing skills. They stink at this typing. We need to unite but probably wouldn't get the cooperation.
How do you get a free attorney if you are solvent and working? SM
Even if you have stuff like a nice car, a nice home, charge cards that you pay for every month, you still may not have money for a lawyer. Never mind about irresponsibility living too close to the edge. A lot of us do that.
I agree, she should discuss it with her attorney but personally,
I would wait until the final papers are signed before I bought another house.
