Melissa in Australia Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm so sorry. Is there any chance that this will just go away without you hearing anything further? You and your family are in my thoughts and I am praying for a positive outcome very soon. we are waiting to hear the results of our appeal. not hearing anything will just leave us in limbo with claims against us, unknown if action will be taken against us, pending ability to work because of claims, unknowing what is going to happen next......... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkTulip Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 There are not enough words in the world to tell you how sorry I am and how sick I am about this on your behalf. You and your family are close in my thoughts and I pray this is behind you soon. This. Praying that people will do what they are supposed to do, and that you can move forward with certainty in your life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 we are waiting to hear the results of our appeal. not hearing anything will just leave us in limbo with claims against us, unknown if action will be taken against us, pending ability to work because of claims, unknowing what is going to happen next......... How horrible. Do you have any sort of lawyer/advocate in this process that can find out why the haystack you're not getting an answer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashfern Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 So we have heard absolutely nothing. They are once again not going by their own timetables that they insist that they follow but don't. This time we do not even have a contact phone number or address to try and find out why there is a delay - so we can do nothing but wait - I am pretty teary :cursing: Seriously?! Is there some advocacy group or media or politician who could help get this resolved? If they're doing this to you then you can be damn sure they're doing it to others. Who pays for this organization? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Horrid. May God protect you and your family, and grant you perfect peace in this ridiculous and undeserved situation.
