Scott, I will also call the attorney and jump on as I have not settled. Doubt you will get another bite of the apple but hopefully some of us will see some financial benefit. I continue to pay monthly and thanks to the PRIME the interest is not too bad “at the moment”. Thanks for calling the past writings to everyone’s attention.

Alright, I’ll call Mr. Webb on Friday after discussing it with my wife (it’s really her card anyway) and talk to him about what our options are.

Things have changed a little for us in the last year. My wife, a masters degree graduate, got caught up in the economic down spiral along with a few million more I guess.

She was forced to make a call to Amex stating our present position. We had already paid over half of what we owed to them. But, then we had to reach a settlement for the balance.

Anyway, blah, blah, blah. I looked over some of the old postings. Jeanne you were there from the start. Jbarre and Jude C. posted some good info, along with some others. Kinda felt like we had it going then.

I’ll call him. If he says my wife and I can’t because we did settle somewhat I’ll let you know and wish all of you the best of luck. I sincerely mean that. I hope they’re nailed. I sincerely mean that, too.

You might want to go through some of the archives. There is some good info there and ideas that everyone tried to get off the ground. It might be some way to reach everyone in those files.

So glad to hear that something is finally being done about AE. I have been calling them every 1-2 months to see if they are willing to reconsider. They won’t give an inch and now they are telling me how great my interest rates currently are at the variable rate. We suffer while they make a profit at our expense.

Re #209

So glad you are on board. Hope this works out well. I just noticed that when I commented over a year ago on this website that I mentioned wondering if there would be a class action lawsuit. Hope the message gets out.

Response to #207 – I was in one class action lawsuit long time ago. Basically, a few people started it, but then all the people affected by the injustice of the company being sued were notified. If they wanted to be in the lawsuit, then they could respond. Not sure if this one works the same way. I’m probably not explaining this very well. I’d really suggest calling Mr.Webb. No need to give your name unless you decide to become part of it. They’d like a few people I believe before they go ahead with it (There must be thousands if they only could be reached/Law firm cannot by law seek them out). It is the only way I believe to make these companies understand there are consequences to their raising their rates so unjustly.

Yeah, that’s too bad. Thanks for the info, Jeanne. Maybe someone can come up with a way to reach Amex holders. I believe a class action suit only gathers steam with the amount of people standing behind one. Isn’t that correct?

Response to #205:

If Attorney Webb decides to go ahead with lawsuit, then those listed on the lawsuit would have to provide information (not sure what) regarding having an AE account and our reasoning as to unfair treatment from AE. Also, if we have any record of communication or phone calls. Mr. Webb can explain better. No obligation calling him. I wish there was another way to reach people. Probably a lot of people that posted on this website didn’t check the ‘notify me’ box and don’t regularly check this website.

Wow, I’ve been away for too long, stuff seems to be finally happening.

What will Mr. Webb require from people who wish to join in the class action suit?
