Legal Advice please! Company trying to rip off kids on Spring Break -took $200 from my son–next step?
Filed Under Pre Paid Legal | 5 Comments
My son,19, is in Florida for Spring Break. He & friends rented scooters yesterday &initialed a small print paper.They just listened to the guy saying what it was.They each left a $100 deposit. On return, the guy told my son he scratched the front plastic part of the bike. He said he was taking out $300 from his card for damages. My son insisted he did not scratch it–the bike was covered in scratches and dents before he rented it. He said no to paying $300. The guy said fine-he was keeping the entire groups deposits. My son didn’t want everyone to suffer so he said OK-but, he didn’t have $300 in his debit account. The guy wanted to know how much he had & ended up taking $200. I called the owner who says if any damage is made-they get $300. I said they were ripping off kids, because the bike was covered in scratches & no pre-rental check was done with my son to see if new damage occurs. She said she’d look into it. Nothing so far. They have a BAD BBB rating. Any advice?
We do have a family lawyer, but would rather figure this one out myself.
#2 response–Phone picture. Old Bike, scratched up all over. My son tells me good and bad. The scratch is 1″ long on a plastic thingy on the front-surrounded by other scratches that obviously have never been “repaired” by the $300 they took off other poor kids.
What about this guy bargaining him down to $200 ?? Didn’t he break the contract by trying to see how much money my kid had in his account?mIsn’t it obvious he was just stealing money with a ridiculous contract??
What amazes me is that no one yet seems appalled by the sleazy business practices of this cycle shop that makes its money off of kids having fun on vacation.

Can Nurse Practitioners open their own clinics? If so, in what states is it legal?
Filed Under Pre Paid Legal | 3 Comments
I am a Nursing student and I would eventually like to become an NP. I would like to open a small OB/GYN clinic here in NYC. I want to specialize in check-ups, screenings, pre-natal care, breast exams, etc. Living here, I can tell you that most places take about 1-2 months to get an appt. at. I was able to get an appt. before, within 2 weeks, and I paid $100 for a not-so-impressive doc’s office..let’s just say he used two fingers..slapped my knee..and said ” You’re good” in his thick italian accent. So my passion is women’s health and I feel there is a demand for it here. I’m wondering if I would be able to open my own practice.

I need marketing ideas for Pre-Paid Legal (no rude responses, please)?
I have been an associate for Pre-Paid Legal for a few months now and am doing quite well. Not only am I making money but I have used the attourney services several times and have been VERY happy with the results. Recently, I have become injured and homebound for the next three months. I am no longer able to go out and talk to people about this great service so I am looking for ideas of how to market myself while trapped at home.
Can anyone think of / recommend any marketting ideas that will reach a large number of people? I appreciate any help you can provide. Have a great day!
Thanks!
I think that it is great that you are enjoying what you do. No one should take you away from that. I also enjoy networking marketing. I personally chose not to hassle people into a biz opp though. I prefer to position myself in front of people who are looking for what I have to offer. There is two programs that I have been involved in that have helped me in my business. The first one is seen at http://robertb.therenegadenetworkmarketer.com/
It is an all inclusive program that can teach you many ways to build your business from the comfort of your home.
The second source that I have received help in building my business can be seen at http://www.tobuildyour.com
It is a step by step program that helps you to build a website that will position yourself in front of your target market.
Those two programs continue to help me in building my business. One that I have not personally tried but know of a friend who is having success with is found at http://www.leadersclub.com/ My friend is been being mentored through their program and has shared some of the trainings with me. They are very reputable. I am not a member because the first two programs keep me busy. Anyway, I hope that this will help to provide some ideas for you. I hope you also continue to enjoy what you are doing.
BEST WISHES & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Look Before You Take The Leap Into Pre-paid Legal Services
Choosing a pre-paid legal plan is a good way to save big bucks, but
choosing a plan you need and a provider you can trust is a different
matter. Here is a number of things to look for in a legal plan from the
very start:
Look for what’s covered: Legal plans are offered in different models and
differ in the specifics of what they cover. While phone consultation and
simple drafting and reviewing of simple contracts are included across the
board, more elaborate and complicated legal matters are not covered.
It’s best to review your own legal needs before you choose a legal plan.
Ask which legal services will you need most and then choose a plan that
provides the best coverage given those needs. For instance, if you are a
business owner, lawsuits, lease and contract negotiations could be high on
your list and you would be looking for a legal plan that provides coverage
accordingly.

Know what legal coverage you already have Don’t pay for coverage twice! If
you have car insurance, then you are covered for liability and medical
protection, home insurance covers you for injuries sustained on your
property… Your existing insurance policies already cover some of your
legal costs and there is no need to pay for that coverage when you select
with a legal plan.
Does the company have an in-house procedure to handle complaints? One of
the stumbling blocks of pre-paid legal services is quality of service.
Newly-licensed attorneys, phone calls not getting answered and that
ointment on any client –lawyer relationship: fee disputes, typically
involving bills made to your credit car to cover for services not included
in your contract… This is just a specimen of the many problems people face
with their plan providers.
Make sure you select a plan that has clear guidelines as to how to settle
dispute when they arise. A company that has a good in-house mechanism to
handle complaints will generally assign a senior attorney with the
authority to handle customer complaints of and disputes with any attorneys
in the network. Secondary sources of resolution may include your state
insurance department or bar association. Check their outlet for complaints
against pre-paid services.Â
Checking out the business you’ll need to do some homework before you
select your legal provider. Ask these questions: What’s the firm’s
reputation in my area? How many years have they been in business? Have they
been operating in my local area for at least a year without complaints? How
skilled are they attorneys? Do they cover the locale where my business
operates? Some good places to start your background research are your state
bar association, the Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Affairs
Office.
