Title: Class Action Lawsuit Against Getty Possible?
Post by: Littlescoop on August 04, 2011, 02:06:25 AM
Hi!  I'm very new here.  Just got my Getty letter yesterday, but I quickly discovered this website and forum and have spent the last two days devouring everything I could on this subject (there's a lot to read and learn, so I've still got a ways to go, but definitely am on the right path).  So, my thought was this.  As there are obviously thousands of people who are being "legally extorted" (my opinion) by Getty, and since Mr. Michelen has very generously offered to reduce his legal fees down should someone who has retained his letter service end up in litigation with Getty, is it possible that if enough people get together and pool their financial resources, as a group we could afford to retain Mr. Michelen to file a class action suit on the group's behalf against Getty for its strong arm/overkill (my opinion) tactics?  This may be a completely off the wall, crazy idea, but it has occurred to me since the tactics Getty appears to be using seem questionable at best (again, my opinion).  Any thoughts?  Again, I'm super new, so if this is totally outside the realm of reality/possibility, please excuse.  Just wanted to toss this out there in case I might possibly be on to something???
