Hello ESMB,
We are asking for suggestions we could utilize to help ensure our prompt repayment, as well as replies to any or all of the 5 QUESTIONS BELOW. We haven't seen these questions specifically addressed on the ESMB. For ease of reply, we've numbered the questions. We will keep a record of the process and successful actions, and report it to ESMB when our refund is received
My wife and I have been out of CO$ for several months
In mid July, we sent letter to an AO demanding repayment of funds on account for unused services. Their LRH Comm send us a routing form with request to complete and 3 sections and notarize 1 of them, which we did. She stated she would forward it to the CVB to be processed. In spite of 2 follow up letters to her, we have not since heard from COS.
Because we have not heard from them by today, as requested in letter to them last week, then as promised by us, we will be submitting complaints to the state attorney general, the cities Mayor, and to the counties Department of Consumer Affairs.
From what we've read on ESMB, it is necessary to be persistent. However, it also seems evident that the repayment process will be deflected by the church for as long as possible. My wife and I want to get the repayment ASAP to give finality to our declaration to them that we have permanently resigned from CO$.
QUESTION # 1:
a: what are the laws that state the COS must give repayments?
b: are there legal time paramenters about making repayments after it is demanded?
c: IMPORTANTLY, what agencies, complaints, criminal/civil/or legal action can we pursue, or threaten to do so, THAT WOULD GET CO$ ATTENTION AND ENSURE MORE PROMPT REPAYMENT?
QUESTION # 2: is there a specific PRE PAID LEGAL SERVICE that someone has used and / or can recommend we use. Our thinking is to draft a letter which the attorney puts on his/her letterhead and sends to the church for us. And repeated letters if necessary.
QUESTION # 3: my wife heard or read that the church has gotten into trouble with the IRS for their credit card reg-ing practices. what is the story/facts about this and how can we leverage it in our repayment demands?
QUESTION # 4: what is the policy (HCOPL?) that indicates the church must give refunds?
QUESTION # 5: the LRH Host recently wrote to us that we had signed a statement: "as a condition of being allowed to enroll for religious services, we agree to abide by the church repayment policies." what is that form and when did we supposedly sign it?
WE APPRECIATE AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REPLIES
