Dispute Settled

I got a signed copy of the settlement agreement yesterday. Since I made it specifically clear I would not agree to anything that requires confidentiality, I can share it. This is what it ended up being...
  • I get my money back that was levied ($6,858.94).

  • Cavalry agrees to pay for my attorney fees ($3,000).

  • Winn and Sims gets ownership of the winnandsims.com domain (but not the content).

  • Any future disputes between us will be resolved in San Diego (rather than Van Nuys).
So what it basically comes down to is I get all my money back, plus my attorney fees, but then I'm out $8 for the cost of the domain.

Awwwww, is Mr Winn & Mr Sims getting a little pissy? Gee...I wonder who left that comment above (insert sarcasm here)?! *Really* professional guys. Hilarious!

No Vicious, I am not affiliated with Winn & Sims. Are you this assholes sister or something? I mean he's gay right? So having a wife is out of the question. You are as equally pathetic as him. You for sure no absolutely nothing about business and about reality from your posts. Jump on another band wagon sweetheart, this one is going nowhere.

Wow... you were actually right Vicious... it *is* Winn and Sims. Check the IP address... If you resolve the IP address the Anonymous user posted from, it resolves to www.winnsims.com (66.121.62.50). Too funny.

Huh, Winn and Sims to be lowering their business etiquette even more..

..Shawn never managed to go to school - school (especially law school) was too expensive and unnessary for him (see www.digitalpoint.com) but his written language seems to be very profesional and also "swear" free.. unlike "some" lawyers'..

I hope you do sue their ass off. I was just referred to this Blog by a post on the Bud Hibbs site - consumer advocate against jerks like these... I think their post and the fact they got nailed is hilarious - and I would love to hear of any new developments. Rock on Shawn!

There are no laws against posting someone's IP address. I don't have a privacy policy on this site that people agreed to.

Also, I didn't delete any posts. Maybe you forgot to hit submit or posted it on another entry. {shrug}

Obviously what this whole debacle boils down to shawn is that you were in irresponsible low life who wasn't responsible with his finances. The fact that your debt even ended up in the offices at winn and sims means that your loser ass had to have gone through a series of collection agencies who you managed to dodge and avoid paying, which is what led to winn and sims doing their job in pursuing litigation against you for not paying your debts. You may think that you've out smarted them by getting your money back, but in reality you're not. The agony and stress that winn and sims caused you by levying your bank account, despite having to release the funds back to you because of your so called "dispute" is probably satisfaction enough for them. Besides if you actually had that much money in your bank account to begin with, you should have paid it off prior to them taking your ass to court and getting their judgement against you. Word of advice, next time you get a bill, pay it and you'll avoid having to ever here from a debt collector again, let alone be sued for being irresponsible with your finances.
