Yesterday someone commented (not in a negative way mind you) that I was bashing Fidelity National Title.
Bashing is defined as "to criticize (another) harshly, accusatory and threateningly."
First, I am trying to not "accuse" anyone of anything. I am trying to explain what happened to me and also to ask questions of things that I do not understand. And there is a lot I do not understand.
Perhaps all of my reporting and questions do seem harsh. I think they are probing.
And finally, I am not threatening Fidelity National Title in any way. I am not telling people to not use them for your escrow, title and title insurance needs. Personally I would never use them again but that is my choice.
And the only threatening that was done if at all was the opening remarks by Richard McNeely, the trial attorney for Fidelity National Title. He explained at great length how I could be especially financially harmed by continuing on with the lawsuit - potentially even if I won - I could owe Fidelity money. I even wrote on my legal pad a note to myself that I felt threatened by his speech. But I do not think I have ever threatened Fidelity National Title nor any of its various entities.
It appears that you are being very careful in all of your comments to not make a commitment to saying they are basically a company of 'snakes in the grass'. But at the same time your questions seem very leading to have people draw certain conclusions. Not that I disagree with you but it does not seem like your intention is to have people use Fidelity.
ReplyDeleteI admit I am being very cautious with my comments as having dealt with Fidelity National Title attorneys on a claim that was filed on my behalf by their own title officer/employee - I am afraid of what a big powerful corporation that they are. If I could not pursue my lawsuit for a claim any further because of the monstrous cost in both time and money - as much as I feel I have a First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech - I have no desire to be involved with their attorneys again.
ReplyDeleteAnd on my questions being directed? Yes and no. I believe that at the end of my lawsuit the most dissatisfying part of it was all of the things throughout the entire claim process that were not said. More than a million dollars, I would like answers to my questions. I would like to know that none of my former clients nor anyone else for that matter would have to go through what I went through.
But as with the claim - I found that the responses both written and verbal to questions by Richard McNeely and Edward Kunnes did not answer my questions.
For example, who at Fidelity National Title accepted the "cost to cure" for a lost easement to Mount Veeder Road in Napa County was to substitute the value to a prescriptive easement to Cavedale Road in Sonoma County? Why? With everything that I wrote and the number of times I questioned this - didn't anyone besides me feel this was at best odd? Not to mention wrong?
I have never been able to get one person - claims or attorney - to answer or even discuss this matter. I find this at best strange - don't you?
I don't think so!!! You go girl!
