Have you heard about the TransUnion Class Action Lawsuit that was very popular between the years of 1987 to 2000 in the United States which a few of our friends were victimized.TransUnion is a credit reporting company that illegally sold credit information that should have been confidential to target marketing companies in the US.

Thank goodness for the O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath firm that have expert attorneys who have great experience with even the most complex TransUnion claims. The victims are entitled for monetary damages but with too much process, a client needs an expert to get that claims. A few of our friends successfully got what they need with the help of this firm and I hope more victims will receive what they deserve from all the trouble it caused them.

I have nothing to do one day and a friend of mine from Texas told me about dog bite and animal attacks. It got me so curious about this issue since there are so many stray dogs in my country. They actually got a Austin dog bite lawyer and good thing they have these in the states. I visited the Law Firm of O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath and learned that they are committed to provide the clients with superior client service and legal representation; they serve accident injury victims across the state of Texas. According to my friend’s experience solving this is was a breeze because they have a lawyer that was of so much help during the case. You see it has been reported that every year there are thousands of animal attacks and though most of it are not serious, there are cases when the victims die and it is not a joke to file cases. Claiming support will never be easy without professional help. I hope my country will have easy processing of such cases, I’m sure we also have so much animal attacks, most may not be reported.

I was talking to my sister over at YM yesterday and she told me that they are actually trying to collect money to every colleague so they can donate money and help the victims of the typhoon. I know so many friends who are actually collecting goods and putting it in boxes to be shipped here for the victims.

I suggested that my sister collect coupons so they can save and purchase more. Since my sister is a pharmacist, I am suggesting that they donate medicines needed for the victims, so many victims have fevers, coughs and colds already plus some old people are also suffering from high blood because of the tensions they are experiencing because of the tragedy. She saw a lot of Drugstore coupon codes and I convinced her to use them, I hope she does. Aside from food and old clothes, medicines are also important in time of disasters.

I read Daphne’s post about PNRC here and I had the same little problem when I decided to donate to Red Cross online, I was actually looking for a paypal account since I know and trust PNRC very well but I couldn’t agree more with the author Paulo Coelho:

RT: I had to sent a bank order. Jurassic! Ppl can’t act on impulse. Filipinos talk to Red Cross: donations online! (via @paulocoelho)

I guess people have read Paulo’s tweet and sent the message to Red Cross so now they have paypal account where you can donate online…

Online donations here: http://www.redcross.org.ph/

For those who are able and can help, please help as much as you can for the victims. Thank you so much!
