I am one mad mineral owner! This landman has lied to all of us.

I got an attorney for all us ‘dumb poor folk’. I am in freakin graduate school but apparently I can’t read or understand or am capable of being taken advantage of. I’ll admit, she scored big on my uncle who just signed the first thing she presented… guess she thought we were gonna do the same.

The attorney emailed her and me stating the changes for 'Regan and relatives’. She proceeded to tell my family that the attorney was for me and that I didn’t like that side of the family. Excuse me lady??? I like them just fine, thanks!

Then I asked her to only contact our attorney and please stop calling. I was on a call with two of my cousins and guess what; she tried to call both of them.

We have a cousin that is MR (level of a young teenager) and she tried to tell her that they were the only company that does that and she had to sign today to get her money. This is AFTER we said that she will be signing her portion over to her sister (per her request!)
Then I said we will only sign together and she is still trying to arrange to meet us separately!

She is pressuring my family to sign, talking to us like we are dumb and don’t understand and lying to us!

I picked a hell of a week to quit smoking.

OH... i JUST found out that she showed up at my cousins house!!! She just showed up!

Thanks for that Jim. I don't have a bad image of the oil and gas industry. I know she is just a lone ranger. I have had wonderful experiences with Encana over the past week. Even the receptionist was friendly and took the time to get me to the right people.

I've said previously, I don't need this money. I make a decent living (if you don’t factor in the student loans) and I don't put my happiness in money. I would much rather be poor, ugly and happy then rich, pretty and unhappy. I didn't consider suing or trying to get more money because of my cousins situation. First of all, it's not my situation to sue about. Second, no harm has come to me. Yes, I feel empathy for my cousin and yes I will help, but any further action will have to come from her and her guardian.

The situation is close enough to me to be upset and voice my thoughts here. I really bothers me when people take advantage of situations or people. I was so upset and mad when it happened, I broke out in hives.

So, my complaint is the manner in which she behaved. Yes, you are correct; if there is nothing filed in the court, my cousin is just as legal as you or I; but there is paperwork from the state. I guess the landman was just trying to build up numbers; but I wish she would have listened to us and gave us a little time to locate the paperwork they needed.

I'm at the point where I've done what I can. As of now I am going to sign the lease addendum the attorney (that I'm paying for) and Encana created for all of us.
