Mary gets her money

Carol said they were required to pay $3,000 to a lawyer for a letter of administration that would have started the payment process.

However, two years passed and nothing happened. Boodram said her mother was very frustrated and saddened at not collecting the money because while her husband was alive they spent over $60,000 on dialysis treatment as he had kidney problems. He lived for six months.

After covering funeral expenses they really needed the money.

The People’s Hotline called First Credit Union and spoke to someone who deals with claims such as these. The person said the Deputy General Manager would speak with the Boodrams.

Newsday found out weeks later that the credit union had started paying the Boodrams their entitlement and will complete the process soon, all thanks to the efforts of The People’s Hotline.
