Identity Theft Information Session - FREE
Tuesday, June 22, 2021 — 7:00-8:30pm

Val Meiners & Darlene Dolinski are the hosts & presenters for this free online event. Identity theft is when someone uses another person's personal identifying information without their permission to commit fraud or other crimes. Consequences of becoming a victim of identity theft can range from trivial and easily resolved to nightmarishly devastating.

We will provide some insight into the breadth and scope of the identity theft problem, give some tips on how to prevent identity theft, & describe some issues involved in restoring your identity, should you become a victim.

There will be time for questions and answers.

Here the link to use on event day:

REAL Results’ Member Story: Wrongful Termination Issue:
Our member was wrongfully terminated and offered only 8 weeks of severance pay by the opposing party, (after 8 years of employment). Thanks to Tim Perrin’s letter and Joe Carangi’s
follow up advice afterwards, the member received 19.5 weeks of severance (two and a half times as much) at no cost to her above the monthly membership fee. She was very happy with
the result.

REAL Results’ Member Story: Credit Card Billing Issue
I love getting LegalShield success stories from my customers! Janine just called me because she was dealing with a credit card billing issue. She had paid a card off early, but received a bill for $19.24 the next month. After talking to customer service... that went nowhere, she decided to call her LegalShield lawyer. The lawyer advised her to pay the $19.24 and the lawyer would follow up by writing a letter on Janine's behalf to the credit card's legal department. One week later she got a call from the credit card company with an apology for the "mistake" and they refunded the $19.24! ??? Trivial ... but not if it were my money! I work hard for every bit I get! I am sure you do too!

REAL Results’ Member Story: Product Refund Issue
Another VERY Happy Member!!
I bought an XBOX 1 bundle totaling about $600.00. Best Buy said I could return it within the next 14 days if I was not satisfied with my purchase. 4 days later, I went to return my bundle and they said that the serial number of my Xbox 1 didn’t match with the receipt and they couldn’t take my return. For an hour, we went back and forth on how this could possibly be a mistake! At the end, I left without making my return so I went home and vented to everyone I could possibly come in contact with. I stopped and thought… why wouldn't I just call my law firm and they can handle this situation
for me? I consulted with my lawyer and they sent a letter on my behalf to the Best Buy store Manager. 5 days later, I got a call from the store manager apologizing for what went wrong admitting that it was their mistake, because the clerk scanned the wrong UPC merchandise during my transaction!
A day later I got my full refund, a $50.00 gift card and I didn't pay a dime out of my pocket to use my law firm! BOOM! Thank you LegalShield!

‘REAL Results’ Member Story – I.D. Theft Issue Resolved!
We found that our chequing account overdraft was putting money into our checking account, despite us having plenty of money in it to cover our cheques. I had misplaced my debit card and thought it
was on my rather untidy desk. When I called the bank, I discovered that there were a number of charges on it, occurring long after I had last used it to purchase anything. I learned that I had bought
five tanks of gas, been to a restaurant for dinner and to a grocery store the day before. I stopped the card and marked the charges that weren’t mine for the bank. I then called LegalShield’s Identity
Theft Shield to report the crime. I filed and got a copy of the police report and forwarded it with a signed limited power of attorney form that LegalShield asked me to sign. That was really all I had to do. They ordered a tri-merge credit report for me to check for more fraud, then they went to work sending out letters and putting fraud alerts on our accounts. They did some searching in various data bases, looking for more fraud. Luckily, there was nothing else so, after 90 days, I received a thick folder with copies of the actions they had taken on my behalf. They asked if I was okay with closing the file and reassured me that, if the theft started up again, to just call and they would reopen the case again.
It was a huge relief not to have to do all that they did on my behalf. Not only did I not want to do it, I didn’t have the time. They did in 90 days what it would have taken me two or three years to accomplish, if I ever got it done. My case was limited. I can’t imagine what I would have done, if the thief had gotten more than
my debit card. If it ever happens again, both my husband and I know that Kroll is watching our backs. Since we became members, I have personally received three letters from companies apologizing for losing my information. I realize that there is no way we can prevent them from being so careless, no matter how much we shred or secure our mail. We have no control regarding how
these databases that contain our information are secured. Linda Voldengen

‘REAL Results’ Member Story – $1800.00 recovered from Bailiffs
Thanks to our demand letter, sent by B.C. LegalShield Lawyer Joe Carangi, correspondence with a rude lawyer and calls to an even ruder opposing party, (the leasing company), member got
back $1800.00 that bailiffs charged him for alleged violations re his leased car. He now has car back and the $1800 00 he paid to get it back.

‘REAL Results’ Member Story – B.C. D.U.I. Laws
Thanks to our research on drunk driving laws, our letter and numerous emails and calls to the member, the member had his driving suspension of 90 days and impounding of car for 30 days reduced to two weeks. The member was stopped at a roadside blockade and forced to do a breathalyser. He failed but it has been found that these tests are not constitutional and the Office of the Superintendent overturned the suspension.
LegalShield lawyer, Joe Carangi made this argument for the member and saved him about $1500.00 in impounding fees and got his licence back which he needs to drive big trucks in the Alberta oil patch. This was a big victory for the member and enforces the new trends in D.U.I. laws in the BC courts.

‘Real Results’ Member Story – Unfair Employer
“I just wanted to let you know the results of a letter sent for us on our behalf by [a lawyer].
After what we felt was a breach of contract with a company that my husband was recently working
for, [the lawyer] consulted with us, reviewed our documents and then sent a letter for us demanding
compensation. Two weeks later, we received a cheque from the company for $6,814.90 for vacation
pay not yet taken, as agreed upon in the contract. Also, as it turns out, because we know what our
rights are from the advice given by [our lawyer], we can still go after the company for another
$4,500.00 where they illegally deducted worker’s safety benefits from our cheque.
Because LegalShield informed us of our rights, we made another phone call to a certain government
department where they will investigate this company and force them to pay back our $4,500.00
That’s a total of $11,314.00 we would have walked away from, had we not had our LegalShield
membership. The only legal fee to us was our monthly LegalShield membership which has now
been paid for the next 26 years!
Thank you Mr. Stonecipher (company founder) for your courage and wisdom in making Equal
Access to the justice system a reality for all. And thank you [lawyer] for your diligent assistance in
this matter.”

‘REAL Results’ Member Story – Security Deposits:
“We moved from an apartment and were told that we would receive our deposit back – 90 days later
no deposit. Our law firm wrote a letter to the management firm informing them that the law in our
area requires you to let the tenant know within 3 days if there are damages; if no damages then they
must pay back the deposit within 30 days; if they didn’t pay back the deposit in 30-days; they were
required to pay back 3 times the initial deposit – our law firm gave them 10 days to get us our
deposit – got it back in 8 days (three times more money!!). Thank you LegalShield.”
