Re: kind of light pressure quote:
"It won't affect your credit at this point," he continued. "But if you are named in a federal lawsuit, it could also affect your job opportunities, because on employment applications, many times they will ask, 'have you ever been party to a lawsuit?'
"And you would have to check 'yes' at that time, because that would be public knowledge," he said.
Settle or you may never get a job again?
Sadly the only legal counsel many of these kids are getting are from guys like this. |

This is no different that a creditor reminding you that a bad credit report can affect job opportunities. Does that translate as "pay my bill or you'll never get a job again"? Hardly. |

What KIND of job applications say "have you ever been party to a lawsuit?"
I've seen ones ask if you've ever been convicted of a crime, other than traffic violations.
But "party to a lawsuit?" WTF?
So since I'm divorced, I've been party to a lawsuit. Does that mean I might not get a job?!?! OH NOES!
It would be different if he was implying that the RIAA was going to get you arrested and accused of a crime and convicted of a crime. But party to a lawsuit? No, just no. |

What if you were part of a frivolous lawsuit?
