The Pre-Paid Legal membership helps people. We see it everyday. Read below to see how having and using the PPL membership made a difference in our members' lives.
Our member is the owner of an apartment building. He was in a three year lease with a company for washers and dryers to be used by the tenants living there. The leasing company was to maintain the equipment and provide monthly accounting for money collected from the equipment. The company was very sloppy in its record keeping. When our member tried to cancel the lease the company refused. After the Provider Law Firm sent a letter, the company agreed to release our member from the rest of the lease.
We recently had a member call in to have some documents reviewed. The member was planning to open a small web-based business to be operated from her home. She had been contacted by a company that proposed to set her up with credit card processing equipment and a merchant account for that business. Fortunately the member called before signing. A Provider Attorney reviewed the documents and was able to point out that the agreement was a non-cancelable four year lease that would have cost her substantially more than she ever anticipated earning in her business. The member elected not to sign the contract.

PPLSI - Provider Law Firm Success Stories: The Power of A Letter & Document Review

The Pre-Paid Legal membership helps people. We see it everyday. Read below to see how having and using the PPL membership made a difference in our members' lives.
Our member had been attempting to receive a refund of $73 from a company for over a year. Both the member and the member’s family had contacted the company many times. The member had ordered merchandise that was never delivered. A Provider Attorney sent a letter to the merchant and within five days the company refunded the member’s money and apologized for the inconvenience.
Another member recently called in for what she thought would be a routine document review for a car she was considering purchasing. A Provider Attorney not only reviewed the document,
but was able to do some research on the book value of the car in question with several different sources. That research revealed that the dealer was charging substantially more than the fair market value for the car. There were also financing and payment terms in the documents that were completely different than what the dealer’s sales representative had initially agreed
to. Based on this information, the member opted to take her business elsewhere.

A creditor was dunning our elderly member for a service she had cancelled. A letter from the Provider disputing the charges was successful, eliciting the following response from the creditor:
"Thank you for helping us solve the problem on [the] account. We have fixed the mistake, and [the] account now has a zero balance. We are sorry if we caused you any trouble."
In another matter, our member was contacted by a telemarketer and offered a magazine subscription on a trial basis. The member attempted to cancel the subscription during the trial period, but the company had made it impossible to cancel according to the instructions provided.
The member’s bank account was being charged a monthly fee. A letter from the Provider to the telemarketer resulted in the cancellation of the service and a refund of all fees charged by the company.

PPLSI - Success Stories from Your Provider Law Firm
A member requested a letter for the return of her deposit on the construction of a new condo in a development. The contractor responded by offering our member her choice of the deposit back or a $10,000 free basement in a different condo in the same development. Our member is very pleased and cannot decide which to choose!
A member had been trying for almost a year to get a refund of $73 paid in advance for a magazine subscription. The company never sent any magazines and ignored the member?s requests. An attorney letter went out Thursday. We got a response the following Tuesday with a copy of the check that was being sent to our member.
One of our attorneys received a call from an out of state police officer. The officer was trying to locate the owner of a backpack that had been turned in. It contained a number of valuable personal items, but nothing in the way of any ID or other way of identifying the owner. There was, however, a copy of a letter that our attorney had written. The backpack belonged to an Ohio member who was on vacation. Our attorney had written a letter on behalf of that member and she just happened to be carrying her copy of that letter in her backpack. As a result, our attorney was able to make a call to the member and tell her where she could recover her lost property before she even knew it was missing. This was something of a pre-emptive call and consultation.
Please note, each legal situation involves different facts and laws and there is no guarantee that such results will be obtained in every situation.
