is that a chat session with the claims portal?:43 PM :
==> I do apologize... We expect the reviews for branded titles to be completed in mid-April.
It's hard to believe that the judge would allow VW to put the genie back in the bottle after claims were accepted on rebuilt vehicles. More like a hard cut off date for rebuilts.I talk to him to , pretty much same answers like PSD1, but he mentioned also they are inclined to just to the fix and restitution, buyback will be no more ,(on Salvage and Rebuilt titles if you bought the car in the 2017 like my case) if the judge approves it.
The reality, whether we like it or not, is that the settlement is not LAW, it is INTERPRETATION of law. And, interpretation can change at any time, if the judge decides it needs to be changed.It's hard to believe that the judge would allow VW to put the genie back in the bottle after claims were accepted on rebuilt vehicles.

On another note we should start calling the various phone numbers and show our disapproval by blasting a little Quiet Riot after asking about the status of our buyback.
Careful is the key word here. I cannot recall one documented instance of the "lawyers" not being on the class members side. If anything, this may have just been misinformation being discussed on various forums, or simply a misinterpreted report of a phone call or email. The duty of the class counsel in this case is to simply defend and protect the settlement. If you have information showing bias or judgement an from individual class counsel member, you should share this information with the FTC.Careful what you say. I voiced this possibility some time back, as well as the lawyers not being on the class members side and there were all kinds of people telling me to shut up and go away. But I agree with you that the settlement is probably going to change and not to everyone's liking. As an original owner I would almost bet you will be taken care of though, it just may take a while longer to sort out.
As I said before the lawyers duty is to the named class member not to the class as a whole. The class members are just along for the ride. They are supposed to be kept informed but the lawyers have no duty to represent their interests directly. If it coincides with what they are trying to do for the named plaintiff, all well and good. If it differs from what they are trying to do for the named plaintiff you may or may not be satisfied with the results of the CAS. Their duty is to the named plaintiff and as long as they carry this out there is no cause to report them for anything.Careful is the key word here.

I never stated that class members would have the same attorney/client privileges as a class representative.As I said before the lawyers duty is to the named class member not to the class as a whole.

Did you total your car and then purchase it from your insurance company for its salvage value? If so how do you reconcile the difference between that and if you bought back your car at an auction lot instead?...--for myself, as an original owner with a totaled vehicle, I hope I get something resembling a full settlement and my garage space back. For those who bought salvaged vehicles with a hope to a quick profit, I'm sorry but I expect you guys will be SOL...
Great question.Did you total your car and then purchase it from your insurance company for its salvage value? If so how do you reconcile the difference between that and if you bought back your car at an auction lot instead?
The way it went was this.....Did you total your car and then purchase it from your insurance company for its salvage value? If so how do you reconcile the difference between that and if you bought back your car at an auction lot instead?
If your car was drivable and you just took it home, it probably didn't feel like a "buy back" because your car was never in someone else's physical possession. That's neither here nor there as the issue isn't so much whether you bought a car back or not, rather...
You're factually incorrect regarding the settlement language.Actually, that is precisely 'here and there' (relevant), as the languaging of the settlement explicitly hinges eligibility on whether it was actually bought back from an insurance company or not. The judge may change his interpretation or implementation of the agreement, but a strict reading of the settlement (which is unambigious, in my opinion) bases salvage title ineligibility on whether or not the car was bought back from an insurance company. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that situation, but it sucks that some do have to worry for something that is so black and white in the settlement.
If I understand correctly you could have taken the insurance payout and handed over the car or you took a lesser insurance payout and kept the car....So, I took option 2, much to my regret. At no time did I 'buy it back': I paid off the loan and took the liability payment. If I had owned it free and clear, it would have had the same outcome. The insurance payment was close to the owed amount on the VW credit loan.
