Thanks you for this information but one thing looms in my mind. I can’t afford a lawyer! So how can I protect myself if I can’t even get a lawyer? Labor relations lawyers can be had for free but I doubt criminal lawyers will act pro bono for anyone. What do I do in my situation? Thanks.

Dan:
I have a case involving $8,000.00 PIP being paid before MedPay, and then the IME cutoff by Commerce Insurance Company. There is no group health Insurance.I heard there was such a case against Commerce involving MedPay being primary after $2,000.00 even if there is no Group Health Insurance. I may have happened upon a class action. Do you think so? Do you know of such a case where MedPay is primary after $2,000.00 even when the injured insured has no group health insurance?
regards,
Frank Saia

Comment on Why is a letter of credit important? by nratlos

nratlos — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:47:15 +0000

The view regarding the UCC Article 5 is rather US centric and does not apply to international trade. International trade is commonly effectuated according to the Uniform Customs and Practices (”UCP”) of the international Chamber of Commerce (Paris, France). This is similar to the INCOTERMS which are mentioned in the UCC, in international trade however, the INCOTERMS as published by the ICC are referenced.

The INCOTERMS and the UCP are not laws and have to be included by reference into the contractual relationships between buyer./.seller, or applicant./.bank. They are usually modified every ten years and thus can adjust to technical or other developments faster than any politician.

Currently, the UCP 600 are used, the number 600 desinating the ICC publication No. 600. Substantively the UCP 600 do not differ much from the UCP 500 an article by article commentary you can find at
Letter of Credit Forum under the articles section.

The site also offers of course a forum to ask questions, news, articles (eg on the UCP 600), sample documents and others.

Comment on Real Estate Basics: Q & A by Rick Davidson

Rick Davidson — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:20:14 +0000

I purchased a large double wide (2500sq.ft.) mobile home 2 1/2 years ago. I used 4 of 13 acres, that I have a clear title to, as down payment. According to the county tax office, I still have clear title to all 13 acres. Housing values are down. I am preparing to retire. I can’t refinance.
If I default on the loan, can the bank still file a lien on the 4 acres after all this time, or would they simply remove the mobile home?

Comment on Paxil: The Depressing Antidepressant? by Sheila

Sheila — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:34:32 +0000

I would like to tell everyone about my experience with taking Paxil. I am doing this so that you may make an informed decision should you decide to take this drug. I was not given that option because certain side effects, though known, have not been disclosed to the FDA, physicians, or consumers.
I was prescribed Paxil by my doctor during an especially stressful time in my life. I had no history of mental illness nor was I diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. I took this medicine, actually a very low dose, from 2001 – 2005. When I decided to stop taking it, I cut my dose back gradually and weaned myself off of it entirely.
I began having gastric distress. This began as I was cutting back on the Paxil and continued long after I quit taking it. I had diarrhea every day for 2-1/2 years. Just about everything I ate went right through me. This lasted all day long, every day. From my research, I have since learned that most of the serotonin in your body is located in your intestines, so it makes sense that if you take something that adjusts that serotonin level, then your intestines would be affected.
I will try to tell you how this has changed my life. It affects everything that I do, from what kind of job I have, where I go, vacations, where and what I can eat. I have had many tests run by specialists and there is no other cause for the diarrhea. I can also tell you that there have been some very embarrassing moments because of this.
About 2 months ago, as an experiment, I started taking the Paxil again. And guess what? The diarrhea stopped almost immediately. I found a blog called Paxil Progress, which is a blog for people who are trying to wean off of Paxil and it seems that my story is not unique at all. This drug causes bowel incontinence, bloating, horrible gas and pain along with the chronic diarrhea.
I wish I had known what this drug would do to me before I started taking it. Please do your homework. The doctors will not tell you about the side effects and withdrawal symptoms, nor will GlaxoSmithKline, the makers of Paxil. Can you guess why they don’t tell you? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
