Deadline for Nationstar Settlement Claims Ends Shortly and The Dishman Law Office Urges Victims of Unconscionable Mortgage Practices to Seek Advice Immediately

The Dishman Law Office, an aggressive class action, consumer protection firm for over 30 years is urging consumers to come forward if they have been the victim of force-placed insurance or other deceptive mortgage or insurance practices.

Tens of thousands of homeowners have paid for expensive, often unnecessary, force-placed insurance. As a result, many consumers have had their credit ruined, and some have even lost their homes. Certain proposed settlements, including Nationstar, are in place and have a very short time period in which to respond, and require immediate action in order to recover compensation.

The Dishman Law Firm is pursuing force-placed and predatory insurance practices on behalf of consumers committed by the following companies:

           

• Nationstar Mortgage
• PNC Mortgage
• PNC Bank
• OneWest Bank
• Green Tree
• Select Portfolio (Credit Suisse)

NY Governor Cuomo Responds to Exploitation of Nail Salon Workers

Following a New York Times Report that exposed widespread exploitation of workers in nail salons (http://davidddishman.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-price-of-nice-nails.html), NY Governor Andrew Cuomo has issued a "Bill of Rights" for workers that must be posted in every nail salon in the state.  The Governor also called on customers to question salon policies.

The "Bill of Rights for Nail Workers" are printed in ten languages, including Chinese, Korean, and Spanish.  It advises workers of their rights, regardless of immigration status. This includes information on minimum wage, safety measures that owners must comply with, and actions employers are banned from doing (such a taking tips or wages, denying a meal break, etc.)

The information card given to consumers includes the "top five things to ask when entering nail salons." This includes: (1) are workers paid at least the minimum wage and overtime; (2) is appropriate protective equipment provided to workers and used; (3) is there adequate ventilation; (4) is the salon business license posted in plain view; and (5) is the Bill of Rights for Nail Salon Workers posted in plain view? 
The hope is that reform throughout the industry will occur more quickly if consumers only visit salons that appear to be in compliance with labor and safety regulations.
