Learned lesson but still fighting

I will not repeat all the complaints and reports about Directbuy's fraudulent treatment of their members.  All is true.  Just read all the complaints combine them and that's what my husband and I have gone through.  We paid close to $6,000.00 and have bought $000.00 merchandise from them.  NOTHING.  No service nothing from them.  Just took our money and sat back and laughed.  There is now a class action lawsuit which we just received notice of being included.  So I guess somewhere there is a list with our name as members.  We have deceided to exclude ourselves from the class action because I do not believe we would be reimbursed even close to what we have given those crooks.  Of course the court will not let you know how much until the date to exclude yourself from the lawsuit has passed.  We live in Minnesota and I would really like to get together with a few other members and sue.  There is a favorable climate against Directbuy with the courts now,  and I believe our outcome would be better than the class action Swift vs Directbuy.  We have tried different options even calling the owner and pleading for a refund at Christmas.  I am disabled and my husband lost his job a few years ago.  His job was outsourced to China. He is 63 with no prospect of employment in the future.  Yes we really need the money!!  It has been about 5 or 6 years since we joined and I am willing to wait for the right opportunity to get our money back.  I think it is stupid to pay so much and receive less than $500.00 in restitution.  I even thought of picketing in front of their location in White Bear Lake on a busy street.  I just might have to do that this summer.  If I stop just one person from making the mistake we did, it would be worth it.  Determined to succeed in Minnesota.
