Higbee Associates Letter & Lawsuits Forum / Re: How can I verify a copyright Certificate of Registration number online?

I will quickly say that I ignored them and then got sued (I am not saying if it was Higbee & Associates or not - I do not want revealing details about my case posted online). I am a small operation with little income and less assets.   Thankfully, I have insurance and the insurance company looks like they are going to get involved.   A claims representative contacted me and said that most likely an attorney will contact me today or tomorrow.  My deductible is $2,500 - ouch because that is more than they originally asked for. 

I am thinking that I probably would have been better off calling them to explain my situaton and offer them something less.  I hear that the prices they are asking are negotiable.

I am in the process of applying for a loan and I had to disclose this law suit.  I have no idea what that is going to do to my loan.

I will post more later if I can.

A server came to my work and gave it to me as I was leaving.  It looks real.  My cousin's husband is supposed to look it up and get me details from a court web site today.   I will post more about it in another thread I dont want to hijack this gentlemans thread.   I also need to know if this site is secure - can anything I post here be used against me?   I also called my insurance company and am waiting for a call back from them.  I am hoping they can help.

Sorry to hear about your situation.   Let me tell you what happened to me.   After ignoring 2 letters and about  5 or 6 emails - I got hit with a law suit - on Wednesday.  Obviously I  gambled and I lost.   They did not just go away.   My cousin's husband is a lawyer and I am hoping he will help me fight it.  But they are now asking for $7,000 settle and cover costs of the law suit.  They took the previous offer off the table which does not seem fair.    Has there been any instance of these lawyers suing when the image does not belong to the client?  The registration certificate was not very descriptive.    Will this lawsuit effect my ability to get a home loan?   I have a lot more questions.   Is this forum confidential?  Will posting details here comeback to bite me?
