Current forecast: Any other outcome/No outcome by Jan 1st (30% chance
20%)
20%)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Any other outcome/No outcome by Jan 1st with a probability of 30% (down 20% in last 1 day)
In a September 3rd story , it was reported that Vernita Lee (Oprah Winfrey's mother) was being sued by Valentina, Inc (a high-end fashion store) when Lee stopped paying her monthly payments on the $155,547.31 bill she had racked up.
Now, Lee is counter-sueing and arguing that the store never should have extended her credit.
According to court papers, Lee resolved a 2002 case with the company over a $175,000 bill. The resolution prohibited Valentina from receiving more credit.
Lee claims the company extended her credit anyway, taking advantage of her "lack of knowledge, ability, and-or capacity" when creating her credit account."
