Thank you for your help. Can you please give me your web address so I

can look at it?

I wanted to respond to this as soon as I wrote it.

This is the problem I ran into in Missouri with an

apartment complex. We got c.o. poisoning and

stachybotrus and it was pre-existant before move in.

Someone else had lived there six months before. The

owners and property management did not divuldge

anything. Did you file a claim with the owners

insurance carrier. Even if they refuse payment you

need that claim number. I had to file a suit for

damages in County Court. It goes to trial next month.

Then I had to file another suit for all the other

terrible things they have done since the first suit

was filed. That one I filed in Federal Court. One is

for $1.5 million the other for $75,000.00, I asked the

attorney the other day which one he wants to pay?

Then I finally decided I will probably have to file

one on him personally for third party liability. Since

he is stalling and defaming my name along the way.

You might should call Masry law firm where

Brockovich did her deeds. They could probably do you a

nice referral if they can't help you.

As I tell everyone who writes, I am so sorry this has

happened to you. By the way I am finding a high ratio

of Epstein Barr virus in Toxic Mold Victims. I haven't

figured out why unless it is a compromised immune.

If anyone else knows let us hear from you.

I have not filed anything yet. Trying to figure out where to go and

what to do with this. The inspector just came Thursday and found out

all the walls need to be knocked down.

Trying to find another inspector to get a second opinion and a lawyer

who specializes with this. All my stuff is at my Dad's house and it

is making me ill. I left to stay at friend's house with just

medications, dog, and licence/ATM. I just can not tolerate being

around it anymore.

Also I read Joe Klein's site and shaved my head. Now my Mom and

friend think I am out of my skyrockets. [Plus my head really

itches. ): ]

It is difficult to find information from reliable sources regarding

tnis and information about what belongings should be kept/tossed.

Thank you so much for your help.
