See You In Court

Here's a handy little link y'all can use to see the lawsuits listing First NLC as a defendant. According to justia.com, there have been ten filed since February '06, including another case involving the Fair Labor Standards Act. Good thing we have so many lawyers on the payroll!

Here's some bonus links from the past:

• First NLC listed on ripoffreport.com (2006)
• Woman Loses Home After Agreeing To Loan (2005 predatory lending story from an ABC News affiliate)
• Merger of California and Colorado overtime lawsuits against First NLC approved (2006)
• A notary writes about not being paid by First NLC on the 123notary.com message board's "beware of these companies" forum (2006, about 3/4 of the way down the page)

First NLC: Overtime? What Overtime?

Here's the latest status (as of April 5) on the class action lawsuit (filed by Nichols Kaster & Anderson, PLLP) against First NLC for failing to pay overtime wages:

"First NLC recently provided us with a list of approximately 1300 additional names of eligible employees that were omitted from a previous Court ordered list. The case has also expanded to include branch processors, senior loan officers and team leaders. We have mailed notice of the case to these 1300 people who have until May 22, 2007 to return their Consent forms and join the case."
