Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. In The News

Recent US Chamber Magazine article highlights Debt Collection as leading nationwide service request among legal service plan members of Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., during the second quarter of 2009. "The Pre-Paid Legal Top Five List is intended to be a snapshot of the issues that legal service plan members face today.

National Association of Attorney Generals - Supports Pre-Paid Legal Service Plans

2009-10-15T10:55:00.000-07:00

Sponsored By:
Oklahoma Attorney General - Drew Edmondson

Adopted:
Summer Meeting
June 17-19, 2008
Providence, Rhode Island

RESOLUTION: IN SUPPORT OF THE CONCEPT OF PREPAID LEGAL SERVICES PLANS

WHEREAS the National Association of Attorneys General is an organization of the chief legal officers of all the fifty states and additional territories, including the District of Columbia; and

WHEREAS all Attorneys General have a deep interest in the legal welfare of the citizens of their respective jurisdictions; and

WHEREAS Attorneys General have a particular interest in consumer protection issues and are keenly aware of the victimization of consumers in their respective jurisdictions by unscrupulous practices and intentional fraud; and

WHEREAS while Attorneys General are able to assist many citizens with consumer issues, many others are directed to private counsel because their situation does not fall within the jurisdiction of the A.G., and many of those, unfortunately, do not have private counsel available to them; and

WHEREAS those individuals who have access to prepaid legal services plans are able to access an attorney in time of need and are further able to access the advice and counsel of an attorney in advance of need and thus are able to practice “preventive law” in the same manner as “preventive medicine”; and

WHEREAS the American Bar Association has long supported prepaid legal services plans because they:

Are important to maintaining the confidence in our justice system and the rule of law.
Efficiently and inexpensively provide preventative legal services to low and middle income Americans.
Ease the burden on overtaxed government programs.
Enhance productivity by allowing employees to focus on their jobs, not their legal troubles.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL, DULY CONVENED - That the National Association of Attorneys General joins the American Bar Association in supporting the concept of prepaid legal services plan.

Justice For All - It's A Fallacy!

2009-10-13T13:30:00.000-07:00

Justice for all is a nice idea, but does it really happen in our courtrooms when lawyer fees seem to be outside of the average person’s budget? Can the door to justice in a free society really close? The majority of injustices never find their way into the courtroom. As life happens around us, there are times when unfairness rears its ugly head. The examples are limitless:

- a company denies a warranty claim

- a service provider overcharges a client

- a credit card company takes advantage of a person they claim to want to help and thousands, and the list can go on .............

When it happens, perhaps we make a few calls, talk to a few supervisors, but sadly, most of us are forced to pay the fee of whatever injustice that day brought and move on.

It doesn’t have to work that way. More than 3 ½ decades ago Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. became a pioneer in the legal industry and today provides access to justice for common, and not so common, life events to over 1.5 million members. We invite you to explore our membership plan and home based business sites to see for yourself what our company offers. Here you will be able to get additional information, watch our videos, and sign-up online for either a membership or the opportunity to start your own business. Our company was founded in 1972 and is one of the top NYSE companies. We are dedicated to providing great service and information of interest to a community of people who need, and deserve an equal opportunity at JUSTICE FOR ALL.

PPL Provider Law Firm Success Stories

2009-10-05T21:13:00.000-07:00

The Pre-Paid Legal membership helps people. We see it every day. The two situations below may seem like small issues, but to some of us they can be very stressful. Many of us do not have the money to go out and hire an attorney just to settle these kind of legal issues. The cost for an attorney would be more than the recovered amount. These are everyday problems that can occur to any of us at anytime. Read below to see how having and using the PPL membership made a difference in our members' lives.

Our member wrote a check to a company. The check bounced. The company called and threatened our member, who paid the amount, plus returned check fees, via Western Union. The company ran the check through again, obtaining the money twice and causing overdraft fees at the member's bank. Our attorney wrote a letter and the member received the sum of $748.93.

Our member ordered a nutritional supplement which was advertised on television. The member believed that he was getting the ten day free trial, but he was billed for a 60 day supply. The member tried to get a refund and was unable to do so. Our attorney wrote a letter and was able to get a refund of $87.00 for the member.

2009-09-15T09:02:00.000-07:00

The Pre-Paid Legal membership helps people. We see it every day.
Read below to see how having and using the PPL membership made a
difference in our members' lives.

Member collected unemployment benefits in 2008. Member received letters stating that he owed an overpayment of benefits to him in the amount of $2,000.00. Employment Security Department then issued a warrant to collect the money. Member stated that he was too late for an appeal. Provider attorney advised member to draft an appeal anyway. Based on the facts, it appeared that member had a reasonable argument that the overpayment should be waived because the overpayment was not his fault. Provider attorney went over member's facts and helped him to draft the appeal. Member called to say that the warrant for the overpayment had been vacated in court by the Department of Employment Security.

Member's indoor skateboard park received notice from BMI music licensing company demanding $5000 for an annual license. Member denied playing any music in his facility, and asserted that his clients only use personal listening devices. Attorney called BMI and they agreed that member owes no licensing fee under these facts. Savings are $5000 per year times the number of years member will be in business.
