On October 14, 2011, the Gulf Coast Claims Facility ("GCCF") mailed out a letter to BP Claimants with denied claims requesting that denied claimants FILE A NEW CLAIM FORM. Apparently the GCCF feels it has improperly denied some claims. The letter states,
You previously filed a claim with the GCCF seeking damages relating to the Oil Spill. The GCCF sent you a Denial Letter that denied your claim for the reasons explained in that letter. If you think you should have been paid and can provide supporting documentation to tie your losses to the Oil Spill, you may file a new Claim Form and any supporting documents you have. The GCCF will review that claim and send you a letter explaining the outcome of that review. If you have not signed a Release and Covenant Not to Sue, you may file a new claim with the GCCF until the program ends in August of 2013.
Over the past year, numerous claimants have found the GCCF has ignored submitted supporting documentation, failed to properly add or subtract figures, failed to pay agreed settlements, held up settlements due to GCCF processing errors or has even reversed its position on denying payment for certain categories of claims.
If you received the October 14, 2011 letter and lost money because of the BP Oil Spill and you think you should have been paid, call BP Oil Spill Claims lawyer.
