[Nfbc-info] Target Settlement Procedures

Wed Nov 12 02:39:54 UTC 2008

    Hi Nicolas.
I submitted my claim I think about a week ago when the anouncement first hit 
the list.
I haven't gotten a phone call but Two days ago I received the following 
email
"This email is to inform you that we have received and processed your claim 
submission.
If you have any questions regarding your submission, please reply to this 
email or
contact us at (215)979-1620.
Regards,
Claims Administrator"
That sounds like they don't always call back.

I just went to the website and submitted a claim.  I filled out the word
document and made notes on the lines about what I was shopping for when I
went to the website and had difficulty navigating the website.  I'm keeping
this copy as a record of my claim submission.  I then filled out the online
form and submitted it electronically.  After submitting the form, I received
a message that a claims administrator will contact me within 3 business
days.

Has anyone who has submitted a claim been contacted by a claims
administrator yet?
