I waited ...I am a small business owner on the Gulf. I waited over two months and was denied on Dec 14. I had over 300 pages of documentation going back to 2007. My accountant and attorney are dumbfounded at the denial. I was told by two GCCF U frontmen in person at the "claim center" that I was part of a MASS DENIAL to make the Dec 15 deadline. They would not give that to me in writing.<br /><br />I have asked GCCF U why my claim was denied and they said that I did not show a loss. <br /><br />The govenors office cannot help, the state reps cannot help, the Attorney General cannot help. THEY ARE AS DUMBFOUNDED AS I AM.<br /><br />Im trying to find out what to do. I have contacted Attorney's General in two states. They do not know what to do either but are very aware of the issue and are fighting to get answers from GCCF U without any progress. GCCF U says to get an attorney. That is an insult. We need help from the media.<br /><br />I WILL FIGHT TO THE END TO STOP THIS EXTORTION SCAM BY GCCF U!!!!<br /><br />I will post here with any new info. Please do the same. GCCF U is not going to destroy my business and my family!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-6785274386483358702010-12-19T23:05:56.333-06:002010-12-19T23:05:56.333-06:00I too have been "under review" for month...I too have been "under review" for months. I have had no new information since October. I filed my claim in July. I am not lacking any documentation, nor are they claiming as such. I have had to move in with family now and my car was repossessed this week. I am going to sell what possessions I have left to provide my four year old with a little Christmas. I have finally lost all hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-79557557958557514172010-12-17T19:56:29.572-06:002010-12-17T19:56:29.572-06:00I too work at a Hotel right on the water in Alabam...I too work at a Hotel right on the water in Alabama. My claim was "Under review" for 2 months then on Dec. 13th i called and was told i had been denied. I asked them why, and they said they could not say. They told me i would get a letter in the mail explaining why. Well that was 4 days ago, and still no letter. So i called today and this rep. could tell me why for some reason. She told me i lacked documentation. I asked her why i was not made aware of this when i asked everytime i called (which was everyday) She told me she didn't know, and that the call center has nothing to do with them. UMMMM Who is THEM??? Are we not talking to a GCCF rep. when we call?? This whole process is a joke. Most people will probably give up. I know i feel like it. I am so upset. I just don't understand what more documentation they could have needed. I sent in check stubs,w-2's, written letters ect...I pray for everyone that is going through this horrible process of waiting, then being denied. I am so sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-83208079788261616872010-12-14T08:15:18.882-06:002010-12-14T08:15:18.882-06:00Thank you for your wise words, Claim Exposer!Thank you for your wise words, Claim Exposer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-84499792796620103542010-12-13T14:36:41.098-06:002010-12-13T14:36:41.098-06:00The Bp claim process has not lived up to the rules...The Bp claim process has not lived up to the rules of the law and also the rules of handling claims in the right manner. They are rudly conflicting people lives in sake of there own gain. They denied the 100,000 people based on timing and the thought of why give people money. They screwed that many people to force them to submitt a final claim. This is called the bp claim process. Lawyeres no exactly what fubird and company are doing. They are picking and chosing people not based on legitment claims but based on a and b colums. Clamit a and b can have the exact same claim and identical information submitted and they look at the claims like this. Well lets see claim a will get paid and we will trash claim b in tell them his/her claim is denied based on inproper or not enough information to support his/her claim. Thats the easiest way to screw claimet b because who cares. This is something to think about if you have received a final claim payment. You live in a hurican area where its a given that one will at less happen once a year in the hurican determind area. If you do decied to take a final claim like a unwise american; than tnink about purchising home insurance. The reason why i say this if a catogary 5 hit and the oil happens to apper in your city from the gulf and you took a final claim. Guess what bp ows u nothing because you took a final claim. To me and the others who where denied after thanksgiving and had proper and a legit claim. Please take the time to research before you let these people force you into a final claim when you are suppost to receive your final claim.<br /> Thanks and I am sorry these people are trying to screw us. Dont be fooled my conrades because news flash there is plenty of oil out there and dont eat seafood.<br /><br /> Thankyou:The Claim exposerThe claim exposurenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-38298070464677697442010-12-13T01:29:13.435-06:002010-12-13T01:29:13.435-06:00My business took one huge beating by BP. I just st...My business took one huge beating by BP. I just started my business early this year before the oil spill, and put tons of hard working time to start making $8,ooo a month. 7 days after Christmas I may be on a very realistic verge on being homeless... my Son's birthday is 2 days before Christmas, He will turn 6 years old, and now because of that spill in the gulf; I have Christmas tree with nothing under it, had to start selling things that I had for years to put food on the table. My business is an honest hard working business (Eco Surplus, LLC.) in Louisiana, where I clean and repair boats, like scrimping boats, fishing boats, and ext. I am so broke now I cannot even buy "BP" gas to put in my vehicle to go to work. I hope pay czar Kenneth Feinberg with the GCCF helps me with my claim that’s still "under review".<br /> We did not ask for this oil spill, but we will ask for money to help us strength to survive though this event, that’s me, my family, my ecosystem, my culture, and my business, and my livelihood, my civilization. (A part of our freedom was violated)<br /> I am not amused on being treated like a statistic, especially when me and my family, and my people suffer, and wait. <br /> I live in America, and all it took was some British Petroleum, to flip my world upside down. I will not give up, and I believe in the hard work of the people like our “forefathers”.<br /> America is not a statistic; it’s a civilization of men and women that value this great country. We need help, and instead we get a circus act with dead wildlife. I think the people have rights to not only their claim, but the country they truly love, respect, and honor. America is no fool, and America heart will beat on forever, and ever. Because we or one nation under God, inadvisable, with liberty, and justice for all. This will not be an end to a future of people, but a start to a new beginning, if they (the GCCF) can and will help the people. Not a great business strategy to get a bunch of people upset and in limbo. Even amongst the lambs, there are lions that have no fear of voicing their opinion. Its our right as American’s, and as for as the food from the gulf, I do not think it is safe yet to feed me or my family; just look what makes up the dispersants that was sprayed in the gulf, it contains poisonous chemicals, that’s extremely toxic to all living creatures.<br /> This spill is not the American peoples fault, have a heart, and Merry Christmas. I see the big business gets tax’s breaks, bail outs, while the small business just gets broke, by big business expenses.<br />“Yes we can”, do better. <br />-American Citizen, Terry Fallon, Jr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-71430981273329812872010-12-08T20:11:01.626-06:002010-12-08T20:11:01.626-06:00And to think these stupid people still have gas st...And to think these stupid people still have gas stations everywhere I think they should be all shut down their is plenty of other places to get gas from I think the gov should step up and just flat out break them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-39394251843020994522010-12-08T11:03:05.191-06:002010-12-08T11:03:05.191-06:00I am one of those 100,000 people, found out this m...I am one of those 100,000 people, found out this morning I was denied after waiting 7 months.<br /><br />What can we do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
