Ms. Turks facts are as follows: Up to this point at least, EasyCare is not pursuing any legal action against Shelvin or his former dealership, and neither the Louisiana Department of Insurance nor the Office of the Louisiana Attorney General, both of which investigate matters of this nature (a warranty is like an insurance policy), had any complaints on file last week. Minutes BEFORE this paper hit the press, we were advised by Larche via e-mail that Shelvin had made good on the contracts. "I wanted to let you know Mr. Shelvin has completed his commitment and fulfilled his obligations in funding the contracts for his customers," Larche wrote. In a follow-up phone call, Larche said EasyCare received a wire transfer from Shelvin TUESDAY morning and was paid in full. Shelvin placed a similar call to Lafayette Parish Sheriff Mike Neustrom, who says while the paperwork had already reached his office from GMAC, the wheels were not yet in motion on the sale of the home — so the sale was simply canceled. “It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary that we did to help him,” Neustrom says. The suit was dismissed on Jan. 29; Brandon Shelvin is still living in his Monarch Drive home. “He called me, and he apologized, and he just said if you’re willing to settle this right now, I’m willing to pay you everything I owe you and I’m truly sorry. He caught me in the nick of time.” Yesterday Shelvin met her at a local bank with the cash and purchased a cashier’s check for $4,500, which Durham promptly cashed. “I’m a happy camper,” she says. “We made some preliminary arrangements to pay back small amounts at a time,” Castille told The INDsider after talking with Shelvin this morning. Really, that’s all we talked about,” Castille says. “He’s supposed to make some payments when he can. We discussed some dates. The whole amount, I’m not looking for it to be paid off any time soon.” Anything else you need clarified? - we want accuracy Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:55:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6262 accuracy- Mr.B.S. did not honor his obligations because of Ms. Turk's article ? Just a coincidence that the two events occurred in the same 24 hour period. C'mon.And let me see if I can follow the algebra of your argument: If Ms. Turk wrote an expose on Bin Laden, and he consequently did not come out of his cave for shame, then, ergo, her article on Mr.B.S.has no connection to his coming clean to his creditors(the next day). Let's see if A equals B then B must equal, I don't know, what, puppy dog tails? a black cat crossing Wriggley Field? You want accuracy of facts, but its how you put those facts together that counts. Ms.Turk is way ahead of you there. - Buckley Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:27:47 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6257 Buckley, You're right--it certainly would have been more honorable to have this taken care of before the article came out, however, to assume that Ms. Turk and her article are the reason he paid these debts is inaccurate. If that's the case, can she write an article about Osama Bin Laden so he can come out of the cave and make amends for all that he has done? Assumptions kill me--lets stick with facts going forward. - we want accuracy Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:18:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6255 Accuracy I could not agree more. Mr. B.S. is doing the honorable thing;not quite as honorable as if he'd payed his dues before the article came out, but honorable. Would you consider that an accurate statement? - Buckley Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:25:55 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6253 Buckley, The thirst is for accuracy--not more speculation and what if's.....no matter how he got the money, he got it and is doing the honorable thing by paying his debts. - we want accuracy Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:48:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6250 I don't know the RS statutes, but I'm pretty sure somenone does and I just wonder what law you break when you take someone's money for an insurance policy and then YOU POCKET THE MONEYU !!! I may be wrong, but this seems like its the same thimg. Of course, WALLY ROMERO did the same thing with State Farm customers and POOF! Its all quiet and no one has heard that name since. It all just goes away! I distincly remember a black lady in Broussard who did the same thing and ended up doing time. Now, I'm not one to insinuate race into the matter, but if it creeps up... In this case, I'm pretty sure its against the law to take money and not buy the policy. At the very least, its THEFT. - Morrow Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:57:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6249 we want accuracy- Let me see if I can shed any light on your confusion as to why Mr.B.S. paying his loans and debts is significant. First, before Wednesday he seemed to be insolvent;by Thursday he's paying down a lot of obligations.So somewhere between Wednesday and Thursday he came upon a significant amount of money. I doubt he recieved it from a bank. From a friend? Maybe. Is that any body's beeswax except Mr.B.S. and the friend.Well, no...unless that friend happened to be a constituent who stood to make a lot of money by an ordinance that Mr.B.S. might be sheparding through the council. So where the money is coming from, so quickly and abundantly,could be significant. I think this might be where the Independent is coming from. Hope this clears it up for you, given your thirst for accuracy and all. - Buckley Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:32:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6224 Come on guys - give The Independent a little credit. You don't think this publicity has gotten Brandon Shelvin to right his wrongs? These alleged illegal acts are obviously a little more than not being able to pay your bills! - What a clown Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:55:30 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6221 True to his words....Brandon--thanks for not replying to Ms. Turk--actions speak louder than words....... Shelvin attributes his youthful success to being mindful of where he comes from, and having a clear outlook on where he intends to go. He brings to any leadership position he serves, new ideas, needed change, a passion to serve, and a heart for the people. His closing words are often “If you always do what you’ve always did, you’ll always get what you’ve always got, but in order to get something you’ve never had, you’ll have to do something you’ve never done;” what he sums up to mean “THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD.” - constituant Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:56:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6218 You people need to stop! If he doesn't pay, you write stories about him--now that he's paying, you write another story. What do you want? Nevermind where he gets the money from--obviously someone still has trust in him! - we want accuracy Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:10:47 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5825-c-p-councilman-pays-off-another-debt#comment-6217 When people fall on hard times and can't pay their debts it's one thing, but to lie and steel AND ONLY PAY OFF WHEN THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON is another. He also wants to repeal bar owners paying for extra patrols downtown. HMMMM? I'm sure there is no CHANCE HE IS IN BED WITH THEM. I bet you if his a_ _ lived downtown he wouldn't fell the same way..... BRO - MR.
