Lawsuit MQ
Have not heard a single peep about what is current on the big MQ lawsuit. Still being pursued? This is too big not to hear from anyone about updates .... anybody? I followed this for a long time in November/December/Jan, then POOF! Realize that the wheels spin slowing in legal-ville, but sure would like it if somebody could throw us some crumbs of information.
And if it has just fizzled out ... SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!!
Lawsuit MQ
Apparently it is still on.... I just received a letter today from Frank regarding holding on to all materials regarding MQ, e-mails, contracts, etc. So guess it is just moving slow as all legal proceedings do.
lawsuit
I have to vent. I asked a question a few days ago, wondering if anybody heard anything about the big MQ lawsuit. Now we all know that this is BIG. But, not only did I only read maybe two responses (thank you, responders) to my specific question, but I have also not heard anything from anybody ELSE on this board regarding what is up with that.
I am wondering: a) is it under tight wraps and hush-hush for open discussion; b) do we have damage control by MQ intercepting posts of an informational nature on this; or c) SOMETHING ELSE?
Sure would appreciate if someone threw us a crumb. Thanks in advance from the mushroom crew!
lawsuit
I don't know details, but it has to do with line counts not being correct and being cheated out of $$ and not being paid correctly.
what there is a lawsuit over?
??
MQ lawsuit
I got in on the class action deal almost a year ago and I haven't noticed any difference in how I'm treated, but then when the bosses change so often they chew you out for not working on your scheduled day off because they didn't know, well.........
Lawsuit
I think the reason we all got checks, was because of the lawsuit. Now, they can say that there were slight computer glitches or whatever, and that they have corrected them. I think their plan is for this to make them look like there was a small mistake and that they corrected it and make up for it.
However, this is ridiculous. In DocQmanage, they can do whatever the heck they want to - AND THEY DO!!! So, for the people who are saying that they feel sure that they are being paid for spaces, maybe they are; but, I assure you, most people are not being paid for spaces and other things as well.
This is just a pre-trial 'make MQ look good' thing. There is no way in the world that we would have received these checks if there had been no lawsuit filed.
We will be your fifth name for a lawsuit

This OP might just be looking for a lawsuit...NM
Details?
Can you give us any particulars as to what goes on? Is it like the dolphin industry used to be with indiscriminate capturing of dolphins along with the tuna? Is it the numbers that are horrific (heading them towards extinction), is it the method they use, or what? We all know that seal hunting goes on, done by the Inuit and so on, but has it spilled over commercially? Please let us know and tell us some FACTS. I am a softie but I do not like to be manipulated falsely, either. Care to comment?
(For the record, I would definitely boycott their food and tell them why, as well, if you relay true and brutal information.)
details
Need to know a bit more about the account. Tapes with p/u and delivery, printing, or will it be all digital? Are you doing gross or cpl? What is their volume? Just me but if it were pick up and delivery of tapes and printed material, I would probably go for 0.12 cpl. With the same dictators and chart notes you will be able to get a lot of standards set up and Auto Corrects and so should be able to get close to 300 lines per hour once you are used to the account. Do a search as this has been discussed many, many times in the past. What do you want to make per hour?
To Need Details
Hi, I can answer a couple of your questions. HandyBits is a free download to encrypt files. After you encrypt them, you send them as email attachments. It's very easy and after you encrypt them there's a red circle on each file showing that it's encrypted. Hope this helps!
details..
It was all over this board a few years ago. I'll try to find it and gladly pass along the info.
Details, please?
With regard to the horrible account in Florida, what exactly renders it horrible? Is it poor sound quality, horrible ESL, no work, or something else (or all of the above, lol)? When I hear an MT generalize as horrible, all sorts of nightmarish possibilities run thru my addled brain.
Thanks in advance :-)
MQ lawsuit letter
Yes, I received the letter yesterday. Sounded like this investigation is going to take quite some time if they have to subpoena transcriptionist's records. I just threw it in the round file :)
If there is an MQ merger or lawsuit, in the end, how do you think
Question on MQ lawsuit. I do not want this to be a
thread for flames or negatives, just would like a brief and simple explanation of what the actual issue(s) are for the lawsuit.
Can't be related to MQ lawsuit
My ipay statement said is was for a DEP adjustment, but the majority of the lines in question were done on the various old platforms, Medwrite, Enterprise, etc...remember it goes back to 1998.
I got the ipay notice but no check or letter yet. I have direct deposit but nothing in there either
MQ checks & lawsuit
Let's not forget, the checks can not be 100% reimbursement for all lines jipped out of, they only cover an error on DEP, a LOT of the issues with the atty's go back to 1998, before DEP was even a thought process, so it really can not be for the cheated lines totally.
This would be a legitimate lawsuit....
I have seen this situation before and, believe me, you have a major lawsuit on your hands and this would not be a frivolous one like so many are. You are talking about a medical professional who has taken monies up front to perform a service that he did not perform, he is withholding monies owed back to you (which is unlawfully stealing), and he fradulently dictated a report on a procedure that he did not perform. You need to consult with an attorney and see what the statute of limitations are in your state as far as the face lift aspect, but as far as the fradulent making up of a report and keeping monies owed to you, he needs to be helpd accountable. This means he has probably done this before many times to other people. The hospital is at huge fault here and is at risk for a major lawsuit. The administrator of this hospital needs to know this first hand from you or your attorney. Please don't put this off. This guy needs to be brought down to earth. He is probably a big money maker for the hospital and they won't discipline him unless you do something to start the ball rolling. If the hospital is a privately-owned company, they will pay attention to what you're saying more than if they are a non-profit hospital where the doctors tend to run the show.
No lawsuit even considered
I nor my friend have even considered a lawsuit. I just get mad at being pre-DISQUALIFIED no matter how good I am at my work. I have had to deal with this problem all my life, so it is nothing new. It is just that I have never been visually disqualified for anything before in regard to work and this was a real eye-opener to me.
And for the record. Morbid obesity is a legal handicap and so is being left handed which I am both. It is just sad. Oh well... I will continue to work where I am appreciated for my job well done...and so will my friend....:) They pay me way more anyway.
IC vs Employee lawsuit

In re IC versus employee status.
Details---I will explain
Promised there would be others on my accounts in the hours I worked there was never a single person on during the hours I worked on Army accounts. It was a huge disappointment. After being with for a month they finally got me the IM list it was never loaded when software was installed. I know several others here in my state that have worked for them and have quit for the same reasons. Poor management......
what exactly are these three MTs suing about? Any details? Do they
That sounds like you want details
so you can live vicariously?
Could you please give more details on what
kind of macros you use? I'd appreciate it immensely.
There is something new - Registered MTs - but I don't know details
dd
yes, give us some details. we all need 60K
how many hours a week?
Please let me know the details of the union.
Yes we do need a union
I would just keep it basic, without details. - sm
When I left my ex-employer, I had all kinds of grievances. But the bottom line is, they already knew each and every one of them, because I had already told management about them (in addition to the other MTs telling them the same things!) As an inhouse job, they also dud exit interviews. I skipped that, too. If there was something they didn't know about why I or anyone else that worked there was leaving, they could just figure it out for themselves.
I don't know any details, but my hubby
Bush sending checks out again. He wasn't sure of the amount though, and I didn't ask him where he heard it. Would be awful nice though huh? 
I'm a home MT but I can see details
of time of dictation and transcription of my work and other work. If you don't have access to see what has been typed and when it was dictated to confirm your suspicion of cherrypicking, then you need to ask what is going on. If they play dumb, tell them you can't afford to do all garbage all the time and that you will be looking for a new company with fair work distribution. See if they find some good work for you in a hurry.
I will give you details, no BS
I make 35 to 40K a year. I work for MQ. I have 13+ years experience. I do acute care, lots of ops, about 50% ESL, 20% ASR, and use expansions extensively. I work my schedule (split shift), 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I don't allow interuptions while working, and I do not browse this board while working. I take advantage of any OT. I appreciate the national pool when my accounts run low. I have been with other companies who run out of work a lot and came back to MQ because I have a family to feed and need the consistent work and paycheck MQ offers. I have never been without a job as MT.
I know many MTs who make as much and some more than I do, some with their own accounts and some full time with nationals.
Just my personal experience.
Ah, the truth is in the details. :)
You didn't say another program was being used to cap for you. My Instant Text automatically caps for me where Word will not.
Did anybody else get a letter from MQ about the MT's lawsuit? Any thoughts if you have?

I received a letter from MQ CEO regarding the MT lawsuit
They have acknowledged the existance of lawsuit but in their CEO spin states only 3 (THREE) MTs are part of this action. I know I'm not part of the original 3 and I have joined the class action so either MQ CEO is blowing smoke or has his head up his A$$. Either way, it is typical of MQ CEO.
I too am from Monrovia and have yet to hear any details!
Please share if anyone finds anything out! 
Yes....$50 per week...details inside..SM
What a God-Send it is ! We have 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2600 sq. ft altogether. She cleans top to bottom, changes linens, hand scrubs my kitchen floor (tile), and does "extras" once monthly such as Murphy's oil to my kitchen cabinets, cleans out the refrig, cleans the oven (self clean but racks too), cleans the windows, 2 per week, baseboards, high dusting, pulls out the refrig every 4 months, and any other projects we do together such as cleaning out cabinets, closets, pantry, etc. It is SO worth it. My hubby and I used to argue about whose job it was to clean (when I worked outside the home), so someone suggested a cleaning lady and it was worth not arguing. I kept her when I started working at home. I get paid for something I do well, and I am the first to pay others when they can do something better than me and something I HATE to do (toilets anyone?)...She is there for about 4 hours every week. Hope this helps you! It sure helps me and I thank her when she gets here and thank her again when she leaves!
Thank you, I will make note of those details! nm

independent setup details
Have you considered a consultant? I know a very good one who not only works with independent transcriptionists but also assists acute care facilities with new information systems. I would be happy to send you the info.
you sound as if this MQ lawsuit makes you happy (sm)
in some sick and twisted way! Why would this make you happy. Not that anything significant will come of it, I mean come on, do you really think MQ is going down the tubes? Don't get your hopes up, honey! You know, your posting name is very fitting...mushroom=fungus!
So What if lawsuit makes poster happy. So WHAT?
Why are you UNHAPPY about lawsuit.
BTW, when you come down to tearing apart and anonysmous posters screen name you have lost any sort of credibility or argument you know.
That is a whole different story than stating you "joined" the lawsuit. Its how
so much of the original MQ class action lawsuits got so screwed up information-wise to the rest of us MTs. You were probably one of the originals, proudly claiming you "joined" the lawsuit, while hundreds of us scrambled around trying to figure out what we missed and how to "join". That was the huge fiasco months back. You are misinforming when you state you "joined" anything, cause there is NOTHING to join at this time. Personally, I think its just "pomp" on your part, actig like you're "in the know", and making some kind of martyr stand. There is NOTHING to join, so don't misrepresent it until such time as there IS something to join. Makes the rest of the poor MTs feel worse - MQ gives no info, and then everyone else but them has "joined" a suit. Not defending MQ - just wish folks would not "spin" the truth - same games MQ allegedly likes to play! But you, naturally, feel justified!
me too - I figured it must be the lawsuit as I am not an employee any longer nm
....
My girlfriend was part of that CU-7 lawsuit. She forgot all about it. SM
She went to the mailbox one day and there was a check for $7000 in there! That thing really messed her up and she had to have a hysterectomy and surgery for a perforated uterus, all kinds of stuff. She probably deserved more.
Details? Just general accusations do no good sm
A lot of generalized mud slinging with absolutely no facts. I'm very, very happy at OSi...best move of my career going with them.
You can also get the details of the line count. That's very interesting.
For those who want to see how MQ arrives at your line count or want to see the old report. It's Greek to ME but geeks might learn a thing or two about MQ "weights" and line counts. Let me know if you find anything out of whack or interesting!!!
Without knowing the details of your finanacial situation . . .
it's impossible to know. If you have good credit 18 points shouldn't be hard to do. Didn't he have any other suggestions? One thing you can do is, if you have a good banking relationship, get a small signature loan from that bank and pay it back in 30 days. That will raise your score, but ONLY if the bank doesn't pull a credit report, since that takes off a few points. Get a $500 or $1000 loan, let it sit in your account, and then pay it back. It will only cost a month's interest and should raise your score enough.
Details please, or this kind of post isn't very helpful. nm

You need somebody to write a macro for you and they would need specific details, sm
such as the full path of the folder where your documents are stored. You'd probably have to pay somebody to write the macro for you if you can't write them yourself. Sometimes you can get people to volunteer to write a macro on various MS Word tech support boards.
Get a refund? Check details of your auction
Hopefully your auction included the potenitality of a refund (buyer may or may not have known of a defect) and there is often a buyer's protection offered for items of this amount. Check out those possibilities quickly as you don't have unlimited time to make a claim.
I would unplug the C-phone and then unseat and re-seat all connectors. Make sure you have the connectors in the right way, and also of course check that volume control :) !
good luck.
