In every company I’ve started there is always a time of transition. Certainly, a big one was taking Havas on as an investor. Another is happening at the end of the month. Our Co-Founder, Claudia Batten, has decided to pursue some of her other passions.
We love Claudia. She’s the real spark that got us going, always there with great energy, good coffee and willing to do anything. From the beginning, Claudia did everything from set up the office to run the business side of the agency and, for the past year, drive new business. A typical role for any entrepreneur.
As a Co-Founder she’ll always be apart of the V&S team, but as anything else in life, we all have to do the things we’re really passionate about.
So long, Claudia.
We will miss you.
With love and support.
Sorry I can't give you a definite anewsr, but if the Alabama courts have found credit cards to be a form of a written contract, then article 2 of the UCC would be irrelevant. I've found anecdotal evidence to suggest this is the case, but nothing firm. I did find examples of other cases in other states where the courts ruling seemed contraindicative of the UCC, and was based partly on UCC limitations meaning it looks like there definitely is a chance (depending on EXACTLY what was included in that signed piece of paper the collection agency produced) that your credit card account qualifies as a written contract. If you're unsure, you could try contacting another attorney from Legal Aid for a free second opinion, although I doubt your attorney would give such seriously erroneous information. I know that there legal fees are ginormous, but why not ask him to spell it out to you, show you previous cases where this ruling was upheld, etc.

Claudia,I am one of Becky's classmates from Creighton and while I won't preetnd she and I were the closest friends, I will never forget what I bright light she was. She always seemed to glow from the inside out. I just stumbled upon your blog last night and for some reason, I felt compelled to share a tragedy from my own family that happened 23 years ago. On October 16, 1988, when I was 12 years old, my uncle, my mom's only brother, was murdered at the age of 29. We live in a very small town murders don't happen here. My uncle was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have lived two-thirds of my life with grandparents who lost a child their only son. A lot of the specifics of those days have faded and much of the raw emotion and pain has dwindled. But the loss is always felt at his birthday in March, the anniversary of his death in October, and at Christmas most of all. My grandparents visit his grave daily and have for 23 years. There are still difficult days, even after all of this time, but on those days, we share happy stories of my uncle and hold him in our hearts even more dearly, if that is possible. I have such love and respect for my grandparents how they continued to embrace life and love even through the darkest days following his death (and the subsequent trial of his killer). I can only imagine their pain when I look at my own daughter now just as I can only imagine your pain of losing Becky.There is something else I wanted to share though. I sat behind you and your family at the memorial service we held for Becky in Omaha. When I Can Only Imagine was played at the end, I was so overcome by how you and your husband embraced the words and sang them. I am actually crying now at the memory of it. You were such an inspiration to me that evening. I realized how much you had to be hurting, yet you were still so embracing of God's grace. That is a moment I will never forget. It helped me to appreciate God in an entirely new way and moved me to want my relationship with God to be as strong as yours is.I will wrap up now I don't know if any of this will mean anything to you or not but please know that I keep Becky, and her entire family, in my thoughts and prayers regularly. Have a merry and blessed Christmas, Claudia.Amy

Latina, I'm so glad to see your comment on Gleanings. I have your phone nebumr and have every intention to call you. Since the grand-girls have moved here life has been crazy wonderful! I want you to know that you've been in my prayers since I first heard of your loss. We are in our ninth month since our Becky died and it is still a sorrow that readily brings us to tears. But we, like you, know where our daughter is and look forward to the day that we'll see the Lord and see Becky again! Love and blessings Claudia

- Did you buy a house? If you are hoping it will be your fveorer home, I'm thinking you bought it. So you are painting the new home? The Bible is always my teacher, but I have also been letting nature teach me His whisper in nature. I've been walking in the early morning quiet of an empty park and God is speaking much to my heart. He is reminding me of my purpose and helping me to not be afraid. I am my Beloved's, and his desire is for me Song of Songs 7:10 is the verse within me this week as well as this quote by Brennan Manning My life has been a life lived in God's furious longing, And I have learned to pray.
