information and misinformation...

Wow.  Suddenly, things have turned yet again.  Really, who knows what to think now?  The "proposed methodology" for figuring claims seems to now be finalized into the "Final Rules" with very few changes.  According to the gccf, there were over 1400 public comments on the "proposed methodology".  Anyone reading through them could easily see that the comments were almost universally strongly against the proposals.  And, of course, the comments and suggestions were almost universally ignored by gccf.  Not surprising, given how totally unresponsive gccf has been to the plight of real people.  Potential good news is that "...the gccf will now commence the next phase of the Payment Program:  the payment of Final and Interim Claims..."  gccf'f'rs on the 800# are sticking by "mid-February" for the beginning of payments.  By "mid-February" do they mean sometime between Feb 2 and Feb 27?  We shall see...
