Like many, I also lost a great deal of retirement money on common stock with Lehman Bros and have not been able to find a class action lawsuit. For the many that remain, common stock holders we will not see retirement for many more decades. That is if we have any luck. If anyone has any information on a class action lawsuit against Lehman please share. Best regards, John

I have 350 shares leh-m,will they ever be worth anything? I am 85 years old and needed the income………..help

Im stil watching the mail box . Stll no word on where my money is.

I have over 14,000 shares of Lehman Bros bonds. Is there a class action suit for bond holder?. I was also duped into this investment. I asked my financial advisor for a ultra safe investment where there was no possibiliy of loosing my capital. Is there any lawfirm available to join us bond holders together and file a suit with the bankruptcy court?

First Congregational Church of Michigan City, Indiana held $50,000 of Lehman paper. Now shows on our Morgan-Stanley statement as zero. A total loss. The congregation is essential inactive, wilth no forman services. I would like to say that Lehman Bros. and indirectly Morgan-Stanley were the cause of a small church in Mid-america closing. I understand that we are part on a suite. Have not heard any news lately,

I am part of the WmU class action lmortage law suite , but I HAV’NT HERD FROM ANY ONE FOR OVER A YEAR . PLEASE UPDATE ME BY EMEAL. THANKS

Fidelity Investments marketed Lehman Brothers bonds to people like me with self directed IRA portfolios. Fidelity urged us to diversify into a safe bond investment such as Lehman. That was June 2008. Lehman went bankrupt in Sept 2008. Turns out Fideltiy’s investment bank, State Street bought credit default swaps on Lehman. So Fidelity was marketing the bonds to us small investers while betting the bank would fail and they would earn 1000% on their credit default swap investment.

I was with merrill lynch up to 2/1/2009 and lost alot of money the previuos year, can I file suit against them for loosing hundreds of thousands of my retirement

father passed away left me LEHMAN BROTHERS HLDG INC MEDIUM TERM NOTE B/E SURVIVOR benifits 20,000 can i collect on the survivors benifit since he has passed. Or was it back my lehman brothers..? anyone

I will join the lawsuit. I had all my retirement money with Lehmann Bros. and lost it all. Did anyone receive the 16-page claim form to fill out? I received it last week. Looks intimidating to fill out, but I will try. My broker assured me Lehman was a GREAT place to invest. RIGHT!

Trying to recover 1000 shares of value.

I am looking to find out information about the class action lawsuit filed three to four years ago.Some lawyers out of St.Louis Missouri won their case from Edward Jones and I was sent a letter telling me I was owed 340.00 but I never received the check. How do I get my money or find out how to get my money I am owed.

Is anyone considering/or already cnsidered filing a class action lawsuit against Lehman, as they filed a motion and settlement agreement, October 21, 2011, to disolve the Lehman Health Care Trust, hearing to be held November 16, 2011 @ 10:00am, whereby Honorable James M. Peck will decide whether Lehman &/or Trust will CEASE paying insurance premiums of retires and former employees on long term disability under the Group Benefits Plan. AS LEHMAN STATES, SUCH COSTS REMAIN SOLE OBLIGATION OF THE INDIVIDUALS… Can you imagine, elderly people and disabled people without benefits, salary or medical insurance…. Lets file a class action lawsuit. I’m sure I’m not the only one suffering.

We may have to take a stand aginst the people involved! How can they get away with this? We need to beat the crap out of Dick Fuld and take everything he has, then sue Edward Jones for recomending LB. I lost 40K Those Basterds! My heart aches for so many people that lost everything.. If anyone is sueing anybody I would like to sign up. I hate these greedy bankers time to get rid of them…

Any body know about the lehman bonds in euros ??

Don’t get your hopes up on these bonds. As usual the lawyers will manage to eat up any funds left with fees by dragging this out as long as possible.

how do we get answers to all the above comments????

This is a cop out.This company did not have to go bankrupt.They were my mortgage holder and recieved $130.000 of a $110.000 loan and since we missed a couple payments padded the bill with a various group of costs.They refused to work with us and lost our paperwork (surprize).End result the house was pretty well paid for and they forclosed.I suppose everyone who were in decision making possitions in this company are filthy rich,since they sold my home for $70,000.There should be a recourse for deceptive practices like this. Aurora loan services,Lemann Brothers,and Peirce and associates from Chicago Ill (who I might add were sited in a class action suite for overcharging Aurora and Lemann’s customers)They are bottom feeders getting filthy rich from the missfortune of others.

My wife and I bought 2,000 shares Lehman Brothers Hldg Inc 7.95% non cum perpetual PFD ser J as offered by Smith Barney in February of 2008. We held on to the bitter end, expecting some kind of bail-out from BOA or the Government and fianlly sold at $0.34 per share. The question is, “What are our chances of recovering anything?”

Can anyone tell me if my mother would be eligible for any action to be taken – her advisor had her portforlio in equities 90% at the age of 56 thru to 72 and has only last year reduced this to a “safe” portfolio. She has lost half of everything. She really doesn’t understand about equities and we live abroad and have only recently found this all out. Her advisors seem like a reputable company that did well for her in the boom years. Could nayone point me in the right direction to get information? Many thanks

I am a retiree who purchased a $40,000 bond through the Trust Department of my bank. The bond matured one day after tje bankruptcy and lost about 80% of my investment. Bad timeing!!!

We too, invested with Edward Jones in Holding Bonds with LB, we visited our broker about a month before they “fell” and he advised us that even tho’ they were having trouble it would be fine and they would recoup. We lost half our life savings, my husband has been in depression ever since that time, and we see no way to get any of our money back. Who can u trust?

After LB declared bankruptcy, I received an explanation from Edward Jones documenting all the red flags including the fact that S&P and Moody’s had both downgraded LB. I called my advisor at Edward Jones and asked why he hadn’t let us know that it had been downgraded and he said that it was minimal and not cause for alarm. He knew that we were leary as we were retired and had also lost all of our MCI bond.

I HAVE LOST 25000 WITH LEHMAN BROTHERS BONDS. MY BROKER EDWARD JONES HAS ADVISED ME TO SELL NOW AT 17 CENTS ON THE DOLLOR. TO BAD HE COULD “NT HAVE LET ME KNOW BEFORE SEPT 08. I THINK I CAN HOLD ON FOR AT LEAST .25 CENTS..

I lost 10 years of my blood and sweat by investing in Lehman bonds. Portugal’s largest commercial bank BCP Millenium guaranteed that my investment was very safe, and only if BCP and Millenium went belly-up then I would lose my money. Millenium BCP lied to me and I’m still waiting for my money. I lost money in the same way in RBS and Iceland. All supposedly guaranteed by BCP Millenium in Portugal. All banks are very quiet abouit there toxic investments. No bank will ever see my money again. You lost all my trust. Perhaps they are all just pyramid schemes???

Acorrding to my research, A class action suit was filed in the New York Federal Southern District Court, case # 1.2008cv08225 filed Sept. 24 2008. This action (Ibelieve) mainly applied to investors who purchased series J Preferred stock LEHJQ.PK and I also think it applys to LEHMQ.PK. I’m not a lawyer just an investor. The firm that filed the class action suit is Fogel Capital Management, Inc in NY, I believe the lead attorney on this case may be a Mr. Mckenna. However I never recieved a resonse to my email to him. You may find out more information about this Class Action suit on the New York Southern District Federal court web site.

Our records show that we bought for our retirement 1600 shares of a AAA rated @$25.00/share ($40,000 investment) on 4-1-07. Lehman Bros HLdg Cap Tr V 6% preferred series M bonds.We never heard anything about the failing/failure of this bond until Lehman was bancrupt. We heard nothing from our broker, the rating company SPIC nor Lehman and still haven’t to this date. No one was watching this calamity came to pass. In my estimation there were quite a few people and companies who profited from the sale of these bonds and only the investors got the losses. It wasn’t supposed to work this way and I’d like my money returned.

I am interested in any class action law suits that have been filed or my be filed against the bond rating firms the rated Lehman Btothers Bonds with in the last 6 months before Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. The bonds I purchased duringt that time were A rated. I think there is a good case again these firms. If these bonds would have had the correct rateing “junk”, I and a lot of other people would not have lost thousands.

Is there any class action going on for COMMON STOCK shares of Lehman Brothers LEH ? Realized, it has been a while. But all my search have not resulted in anything.

My wife and I are both retired and have a Trust Account managed by an excellent bank in Michigan. Part of our portfolio included a $40,000 Lehman Brothers bond. Two days before the bond matured, the bankruptcy was filed. We were counting on this investment to be used for our retirement. Hope we can recoup at least 50 cents on the dollar. What bad timing for us!!

I WAS A HOLDER OF COMMON SHARES, AS WERE MANY OF YOU, HAVE YOU ALL NOTICED HOW SILENT OUR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HAVE BEEN WITH REGARD TO “OUR” PROBLEM,,,, THE WALL STREET GANGSTERS HAVE ALL PERPETUATED THE GREATEST THEFT OF THE PEOPLES WEALTH,,, NOW THEY ARE IN THERE BUYING ALL THE STOCKS THAT COLLAPSED AT BARGAIN BASEMENT PRICES AND HAVE GOTTON WEALTHIER,, AND ALL THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE IS HOLD A FEW B.S. HEARINGS TO PACIFY US,,, IF THEY CAN SUPPORT FAILING BUSINESS’ WITH “OUR” MONEY, THEN WHY CAN’T THEY GET “OUR” MONEY BACK FROM “OUR” TREASURY, WELL MY FRIENDS, DREAM ON, WE HAVE ALL BEEN DUPED BY WALL STREET AS WELL AS “THEIR” GOVERNMENT),,,,,,

Haven’t heard anything about a lawsuit, but I sure hope it happens. My late husband had a large LB bond which had the estate feature guaranteeing upon his death the bond would be paid out at the purchase amount…ha. ha…haven’t gotten a thing on that either. It’s just still sitting in the Edward Jones portfolio waiting to be paid, if ever.

Does anyone know anything about a class action suit against Lehman

We also lost in LBHI based on lies. The bonds were rated “A” by the rating Agency S&P and the other two. Two weeks after we bought the bonds LBHI file Bankruptcy under Chapter 11. “Repo 105 In particular, the examiner’s report… Lehman’s failure to disclose its use of an accounting device called “Repo 105″ to make its books look better. Lehman used this device to strip some $50 billion of undesirable assets from its balance sheet at the end of the first and second quarters of 2008,…” It is obvious that the rating agency and the auditors knew! Chapter 11, Bankruptcy Act, is a legal license to commit fraud! The corporations know in advance that they “will protected by the bankruptcy courts under Chapter 11.” The Bankruptcy Act is a vehicle for “ponzi schemes” and confiscation protected by ” Corrupt Justice System.” The Bankruptcy Act Chapter 11, violates the “prohibition “of Article I, Sec. 10, U.S. Constitution for it impairs the “Obligation of Contracts…” and it also violates Article IV “Property Rights to be secure in their papers…” With over 190 banks being foreclose so far in 2010 it is obvious that the legislators, FED and others had no intention in protecting the individual property, funds, rights etc. A state representative states, “we need to do whatever it takes to take back our rights.” What are the legislators rights? Are their rights “by doing whatever it takes” to take peoples property, funds etc.? To stop Corporate fraud, repeal the “Bankruptcy Act Chapter 11” “AMEND the CONSTITUTION!” Empower the people to “EXPRES their WILL” on ALL ISSUES!

Just came across this site. I worked for Lehman from 1987 to 2006 and have over 5,000 shares of common stock. I thought I had a decent nest egg for my retirement…. little did I know…. I have been reading all of the comments about getting a class action suite started… if one has started can someone let me know how I can join and if some of you want to start one, I am in….. They shouldn’t be able to get away with this!!

Bought my lehman bonds 30 days before the collaspe of Lehman I WAS TOLD THESES ARE A GOOD INVESTMENT. The bonds were in an IRA account. 10,000 turned into 1500 in 30 days. SAFE? Merrill Lynch can not give my any advice as to what is happening to the bonds…this is full service brokerage? Mybe I really dont want their advice after all as they said Lehman was a good investment.

I am 83 years old and had a $100,000.00 Lehman Bros. bond with Charles Schwab.. The loss of allmost $500.00 per month has changed my life. Charles Schwab people have no information..

I also have a $100,000 bond in Lehman with Edward Jones. I called Edward Jones yesterday and couldn’t find out anything. There must be someone at Lehman Brothers that we can call to get an update?

I have $200,000.00 in Lehman bonds with Edward Jones. Realy cant get a good answer from Edward Jones on whats going on.

I lost $50,000 worth of stock. I have not gotten any paperwork. I would also like to know how to get on the claim list? My *&##$$@ investment banker knows NOTHING> help………

Is there any hope of getting any compensation on preferred stocks invested with Lehman Brothers. How do we get on the investor’s claim list?

i lost most of my pension with lehman bros. approximately $40,000.00. how do i get on the investors claim list? i have not received any papers from anyone. i’ve been an investor since2002.

I hold a Lehman Bros HLDGS Inc Medium Term NTS ( $20,000) that was purchased for me on 11/19/07. Lehman Bros Defaulted in September, 2008. I filed my “Proof of Claim” against them before the bar date September 22, 2009 requesting my $20,000 returned to me. I understand if I join a Class Action law suit and get some of my money back. I understand that later I can file a Loss Claim to IRS for the balance to be used toward the following years of money owed to IRS. If this is correct I will welcome joining a Class Action Suit.

I’d like to know about the Lehman bonds that have the estate feature. My husband had $100,000 in one of these bonds and he passed away in March -09…..what or when will the estate feature materialize

Upon reading all these horror stories,I must share mine.I had purchased a convertable through LHM for Fannie MaeThe total purchase price was $5000 with interest @25% for 6 months.Needless to say,the market and bond callapsed and LHM stopped paying the interest.So,I called FINRA and explained how the broker told me that the interest was”GUARANTEED”.Six months later I recouped 80% of my money back.

any information regarding Smith Barney and Lehman bankruptcy?

My broker bought me $ 250,000 worth of the Lehman Seriies J preferreds in February of 2008. (@$ 25 per share) It was an “investment grade” stock prior to its September collapse as far as I was told and told not to sell. I also had lots of other preferreds which went way down and I sold them for fear of another Lehman collapse. I am a single mom who once felt very secure in my situation. Now I’m not. And pretty angry at having been sold Preferred stocks wheh I had no idea they were so specultive. Is there a class action suit and if so when will it take place!?

First, as their power of attorney, then co-trustee of my parents’ trusts after they passed away, my experience with their Edward Jones financial advisor is that Ed Jones advisors appear to get away with “murder” and, all the while, Ed Jones covers, supports and lies for them. My elderly parents’ constant phone calls and home visits from their “advisor” , pressured them into buying whatever the “advisor” benefited most from. He wasn’t looking out for their best interests. My heart breaks for those folks represented in the stories above. My mother’s $10,000 Lehman Brothers corporate bond is now worth $500. My father wanted to cash it in, along with five other bonds, in 2007, and his “advisor” begged him not to, as he played on my father’s emotions, by stating those were my mother’s “favorite bonds”. She had just recently passed away. There has to be a special place in hell for “advisors” such as these.

Bought Lehman Preferred in “04”. Like everyone else–goodby. Broker never warned. Shouldn’t _____have known something (big firm)?

I purchased $21,000 in Lehman Bros. through Edward Jones. These were bought at two different times, one $10,000 and another $11,000. In August of 2008 I began to see red flags with Lehman and called my broker to sell these bonds. He said why?. I told him they were going bankrupt and I wanted as much as possible before that happened. He then put in an order to sell and I sold the $10,000 for $7,500 but he advised against the $11,000 bond because the loss was much more. needless to say I lost all the amount in this one. If there is a class action law suit filed, I would appreciate your advice.
