Yep, I got a letter and then several calls from a law firm in San Francisco asking me to join the lawsuit. I was in Oregon, not sure why it ended up in court in California. They got about $400 over the course of about 6 mos. with that scam. At first I was like "what do you mean it's late? Gez I better send this out earlier.' I kept sending it earlier and earlier. It was due on the 5th and considered late on the 15th. After sending it out twice prior to the first I figured out it was a scam and took action to have a hard copy receipt in hand, just sucked for me because to do so it required a long drive.
I declined joining the suit, IMO these class action suits work well for the firm and not so well for anyone else. I figured I'd spend a ton of time faxing, copying and making statements and in the end I'd get $40 back and the firm would get $360. I just said fuck it and got a new mortgage.
