Another great week of people getting paid on their BP Claims from the GCCF, we have gotten many more business paid on the interim and final claims with the GCCF.

I think want we have found out by working closely with the GCCF is that if you present your case well to them and have a strong argument of why you have lost the amount you are stating your have lost its very likely that they will pay you the full amount in a very short amount of time. It does help when the case are presented by one of the strongest BP oil spill attorney’s out there but still a well crafted case will go from denied by the GCCF to approved by the GCCF very fast in our system.

Getting Your GCCF Claims Approved

What we have found out by working with the GCCF for all these month is very important to getting your GCCF claims approved.

1. You must present all documentation that they are asking for check out GCCF Help for all documentation needs.

2. Your Causation letter to the GCCF telling them why it was the BP oil spill causing the economic damage and not the general economy must be strong.

3. If your case is not a straight forward loss where you show on pay check that you made less in 2010 than in 2008 and 2009 don’t even use the GCCF

4. If this was a new business start up less than 1 year in business don’t even use the GCCF they will not pay you

5. If your business closed down because of the economic impact from the BP oil spill don’t wast your time with the GCCF

On all the sections that are not straight forward you need to get with an attorney to handle the case for you as there are many factors that goes into your claim if your business closed down or if you sales did not fall in 2010 but still you had a loss.

Now how can that be you might ask. Well what if you had one product like brown shrimp that you normally did 1,000,000 a year in sales but in 2010 your did zero. Now you did make up that loss on other products showing 2010 as no loss compared to 2009 but had the oil spill not happened you would have made the sales of the brown shrimp and come out with a big surplus.

So just because you don’t show a lower 2010 did not mean that you or the business did not loose anything. Think about the loss on your seafood costing more in 2010, giving you a lower Gross Profit as your cost went up. There are many complicated ways to look at your books to find out exactly what loss you might have had. Let a professional do that work for you.

If your GCCF claims where denied or deficient

Here is what I would do if you GCCF claim was deficient and you got a deficiency letter back from the GCCF, try and see if you can send back in the paperwork they are asking for to move your case along. If you need a work up on your claim contact our 800 number to have them help you. If you feel like you are tried of their BS fill out a free case review and get our full system working for you. If you GCCF claim was denied, don’t give up there is still hope that you can get money. We have gotten a lot of denied over turned and gotten them money. The last one was a restaurant in Florida but on the Atlantic side that we got moved from a denied to $78,000 in about 3 month. If you have had a loss because of the oil spill we can make the case for you and make it payable with the GCCF no matter what you have done up to this point yourself.

BP Claim: GCCF Vs. Settlement

Even before BP dumped all of their oil into the gulf, gulf coast residents had a lot to deal with, just like everyone else. People are busy making ends meet, taking care of their families, and keeping their businesses running or working hard at their jobs. Now that the oil spill wrecked a lot of people’s livelihoods, those same problems didn’t go away, but now there is a whole set of new ones to figure out your BP Claim. Who has time to do a ton of research on the best way to get the money they deserve through a BP claim? I’m going to do my best to break down the difference between getting a BP claim through the GCCF or doing it through an attorney.

The main things everyone needs to know about their BP claim are 1) How much money will I get? and 2) How quickly will I get it?

How Much Money Will I get for My BP Claim?

For starters, let’s go over the amount of money you would get from each. The GCCF has been delaying people to make them desperate so they will accept their quick pays of $5,000 personal and $25,000 business, so those amounts are what most people will get if they stick with the GCCF for their BP Claim. If you’re looking to get more out of a final claim, the GCCF will probably just keep delaying or denying you. You might get lucky and get offered a little more, but it still probably won’t be as much as you lost.

If you decide to get some representation and take BP to court, the amount could vary a lot from person to person, but it’s pretty safe to say it’s going to be closer to what you deserve than those crap quick pays the GCCF is so eager to get you to accept. The reason you will probably get more out of your BP Claim this way is that a lawsuit will give you compensation for up to 3-5 years of losses (which is likely what you will actually lose) instead of the set quick pay amount the GCCF will try to force on you. Even if you get offered a final settlement for your BP Claim through the GCCF, it will still probably only compensate you for 1-2 years of losses.

How Fast Will I Get my BP Claim Money?

It seems like it would take longer to go through the courts to get paid than through the GCCF, but there is a little more at work here than you might think. Firstly, if you take the quick pay, you will probably get it after the 90 days the GCCF promises. If you want an interim or final payment, good luck.

The GCCF loves to delay BP claims by taking longer than the 90 days they say they will. Then once they finally get around to processing your claim, they usually delay by asking for more documentation on your BP Claim (documentation that they don’t need). Once they finally have to finish delaying, they will often just deny you even if you have a good claim, or they will say they overpaid you for your emergency BP Claim payment (which is a lie). After all this, it could be a long, long time before you see any money from the GCCF, if you ever get any at all.

If you decide to go with an attorney, you could get a settlement for your BP Claim in as quickly as 60 days. That’s not always the case, but it’s pretty common. Most of the time, you can get a settlement before the GCCF would have finished processing your claim. There are a few things you should know if you decide to do this to get your BP claim though. First of all, if you take a settlement now, you will get the money faster, but you might not get as much as if you wait.

Why Is It Like This?

The reason you might be able to get more if you wait on your BP Claim is because there is a big lawsuit to figure out which companies are liable for the oil spill, but it’s not going to happen until February 2012. If you are able to wait until then to get your settlement, you will probably be able to get compensated a lot more for your BP Claim. If you can’t wait that long because you have a mortgage or other reason you just have to have the money now, you can still get a settlement for your BP Claim quickly, it just won’t be quite as much. It will still probably be a lot more than a GCCF quick pay though.

The Bottom line is, going for a settlement to get your BP Claim will probably get you more money, and will get it to you faster.

I just wanted all the people who are thinking about taking a GCCF final claim for $5,000 or $25,000 or whatever amount the GCCF is offering you to think twice. GCCF (BP) made up the rules, and told you that you would only get 2 years of compensation— the first year being 2010 and the final year being 2011. They had BP experts tell everybody that the region would recover in 2011. The “experts” that told us that were paid for by BP.

Before Signing Your Name To A GCCF Final Claim

Did they consider the oil still on the bottom of the gulf ?

Did they consider a possible hurricane bringing it all to the beaches?

Did they consider that the whole region could possibly become sick from the Sh.. they sprayed in the gulf to cover up their mess?

Did they consider the tourists still not coming back ?

Did they consider what the oil and dispersant would do to the food chain in the gulf ?

Did they consider how people’s lives down here were affected by their oil spill ?

They did not consider any of these things when they bought experts to make up stories about the oil being gone and the region recovering in 2011. The only thing they considered was the money they would save for writing the BS they were writing.

I want you to consider these things before you take a GCCF final claim. I want you to consider if you want to go along with what BP and the GCCF says and take that as the truth, or if you want a court of the people to make the decision about what’s fair.

GCCF Final Claim Money Offered

I want you to consider the money they are offering you. Do you think it’s enough, or do you think you could get more by doing something about it yourself? I won’t dance around it; I’m going to say screw BP and the GCCF and tell them they are not running the show, and I think everyone else should do the same. I will go after them with everything I have and make them pay for what they did to my life and my family’s life, and our beautiful waters and fishing grounds.

I want you to get what you deserve, and I truly believe that the only way to do that is to hire an attorney, the kind that will not just settle with the GCCF and take whatever they are offering you. Hire the kind of attorney that will fight for you in court and take BP all the way to the end stop where a jury will decide what you should get as damages. I want the image of BP to be as black as the oil they put in our waters, I want you to go after them and their image to get the maximum amount of money you can get by a court in this great land. Why settle for less than what you have lost? Don’t let them tell you what you have lost or make up the rules of how to determine your losses, don’t let them set the rules. Let the courts set the rules.

Don’t Sign A GCCF Final Claim

It will take an extra year if you follow my advice, but you will get ten times more out of it and you will hurt BP where it hurts them the most and that is their image and their pocketbook. You will get all that you have lost back from the past and what you could lose in the future but you will know at the end of the day that you did all you could do to bring BP to justice for what they did to your job opportunities, you family, and your way of life.

I hope that after reading this you will know what you need to do and don’t sign a GCCF Final Claim

Today I want to look at how far along the GCCF is in paying BP Claims. When I looked at this last time we saw that all the Quick Paid Claims had been paid, but very few of the interim and final claims were paid out. Only about 5% of the interim and 6% of the final claims had been paid.
Now lets take a look at the numbers from yesterday may 11 2011, directly from the GCCF website.

GCCF Quick Pay 97% Paid

Quick Pay 115,340 people ask for this and 111,774 got paid so 97% of Quick Pay claims have been paid. These claims are for $5,000 or $25,000. I don’t think there is any big surprise here because these low claims are what the GCCF wants everybody to take, and they are keeping everybody hostage until they take it. Hello where are the media or the politicians on this one? These guys are crooks– don’t let them get away with it.

GCCF Interim Payments: Only 14% Have Been Paid

For the GCCF interim payments there have been 77,013 claims submitted and only 10,253 have  been paid. That comes out to 14% of interim payments paid. That is up 50% from last time we looked at it in the end of March, but it’s still way too small. Remember the interim payments are setup to pay your losses from the last 3 months. I really like the Interim payments as a way to protect against future damage from the oil spill, but only 14% have had luck with that. The way GCCF is handling it is just ridiculous.

GCCF Final Review Only 19% Paid

So lets look at the numbers for people who have filed for a GCCF final review. Here we have 107,418 people that have filed a claim for final review of their oil spill claim, and 19,702 have been paid, which is about 19%. This is a little better than the GCCF Interim payments as this is what the GCCF wants, but it’s still not that high because they would rather people just take quick payments. They want people to sign away their rights to future litigation against BP.

Now what can be done about GCCF being so slow in paying out the claims? GCCF will tell you as they do on their website the following:

What is GCCF Saying ?

Look at the cases that have been reviewed

Quick Pay: 98.5% have been reviewed and 97% have been paid

GCCF Interim Claims: 79% haven been reviewed and 14% have been paid

GCCF Final Review:  86% has been reviewed and only 19% has been paid

GCCF is Denying Or Delaying 43% Of All Claims

So if they have reviewed all these cases why have so few been paid? Lets look at some more numbers.

From the pool of people that have asked for an Interim payment or a Final review payment, 6,756 people have gotten a letter stating that they had no loss. I would like for everybody with that letter to fill out a form and let an attorney take a look if the GCCF is correct in that. Secondly in that same pool of people 45,744 people got a letter asking for more documentation (this is their standard delay tactic if you don’t have an attorney) and 57,141 were denied their BP claim. Again the people being told they where denied should fill out a form and let an attorney have  a look at it. If you are in the pool of people being asked to provide additional information I would think hard about if they are just trying to delay paying you or if there is something you think you can do to get the ball moving. I would visit the GCCF office and see if there is somebody there to talk to. I know that it’s always the same story, that they don’t know or they can’t tell you anything but still keep pushing.

Now when we add these people up that has been delayed or denied we get to a number of  109,641 people that are in limbo. That is out of 258,576 people in the Final review or interim claims pool. You know what that means? GCCF is denying or delaying 43% of all claims not represented by an attorney. Again I want you all to find representation, fill out the form, and get tough on the GCCF.
