Delay, deny, defend. That’s the game they play. The goal is to frustrate the claimant into either taking less of a payment or just giving up. Now Fienberg is starting to close GCCF offices. I guess he feels that things are winding down.
Don’t give up !!! Fight for what is rightfully yours.

Hello Rep Palazzo. Welcome to the NFL. Perhaps Mr Fienberg should go discuss this with Mr DeAngelo.

For 25 years I have made a living fishing and selling my seafood thru my small seafood shop on the coast. Nov 2010 I was denied help from GCCF after the fear of oily seafood crashed the seafood market in 2010. Dec the bank foreclosed on my familys house. GCCF called same month said to reaply. I sent them profit loss all bank statements pictures ads reciepts and moved into the back of my store to live. Next month will be a year since I first applied with no help whatsoever with just more requests for paperwork they already have or paperwork they originally said was not necessary. The bank started foreclosure on my store in July. From what I can see GCCF seems to want to pay as many small claims as possible to look good, but screw the business owners and larger claims regardless of their needs. Kill the small business’s you kill the jobs. They should look into this.

This is so much of a joke,I have spent countless hours,running down requested documents,making countless trips to Pensacola to the claims facility,Only to be turned down on my claim not once but three different times.And today I recieve a letter from the gccf that says i can file a new claim..well dont that just kick bull snot in your face.You know i should just say to heck with it but that is what they want for us to do.I probably would but i have been on my job for 18 years and SEVERAL other employee”s got a check within 3 weeks of there claims being filed,in fact some have gotten two checks .So YESIR Mr.FEInBURG I will be refilling that claim but this time with help from a lawyer
