You might expect the “Chief Operating Officer” of company to exercise some restraint during the period in which the company she represents is suing another company and an individual; however, Charlotte Byndas, COO of Career Agents Network and Health Career Agents (like there’s a difference) sent me text messages that led to drafting a personal protection order.

NOTE: Charlotte Byndas’ Cellular Phone number (Blackberry?) is:

(248) 431-1807 as shown in the “FROM” and “TO” listings below

FROM Number: +12484311807 5:40:54 PM Message: Several others are considering action against you and Lori as well...

TO Number: +12484311807 5:41:27 PM Message: May I implore you to leave Lorie out?

Note: Lorie is my sweetheart and the love of my life. She is a four time cancer survivor and was given a 48% chance of 5 year survival after her bilateral mastectomies in April of 2004. She has endured and survived so much in her life that adding the stress of being involved in vicious, scurrilous, and vindictive litigation was a motivating factor that led to my contemplation of settling this matter. Charlotte Byndas knew of this situation and used it in every possible manner to coerce a one-sided settlement, quash my first amendment rights, and silence any criticism of Career Agents Network

FROM Number: +12484311807 5:43:59 PM Message: If you cover my legal fees and comply with every other term than yes. If not we will have to include her in everything.

Settlement Terms

Among the 9 items included in the settlement proposal was a curious item that mandated I sign the new Career Agents Network agreement and a cashiers check for $40,000.00.  I thought it unusual that they would want me to sign an agreement that effectively transferred my membership from Health Career Agents to Career Agents Network and made me a fully entitled member under their new offering. Additionally, they never stipulated what the $40,000.00 was for but according to Ms. Byndas’ text message was the only way I could have them leave Lorie out of the action, which certainly sounded like extortion to me.

A Closer Examination of the Career Agents Network Agreement revealed the following clause:

2) Purpose. It is understood by the parties that Company has entered into an agreement with Health Career Agents to furnish HCA Members with training and support services. Company will provide those training and support services regardless of whether an HCA Member enters into this agreement. This Training and Support Agreement goes beyond that commitment and provides Career Agents Network Member with additional deliverables and services. This agreement replaces and nullifies all previous agreements between Career Agents Network Member and Health Career Agents, Inc. and upon execution of this agreement, Career Agents Network Member releases and forever discharges HCA, its officers, shareholders, agents and assigns, from any and all claims, causes of action or demands, known or unknown, which may now exist or may arise in the future, in any way related to the HCA Purchase Agreement and Order, or the solicitation thereof.

The text messages continue in a certainly “CREEPY” manner

After I retained legal counsel on July 14th and was advised not to have any further communication with Paul Helm or Charlotte Byndas, she continued to send me what can be only described as “CREEPY” text messages.  During the time which you are suing someone, would you think to send them text messages with smiley faces as the only content? How about sending these smiley faces late at night or very early in the morning? Making mention of the comparable home values on my house when she previously mentioned in a phone conversation that she’d take it away through litigation if I didn’t settle?  Mentioning facts regarding my NEIGHBOR’S yard and its contents?  Here are the text messages:

These are all FROM messages sent from Charlotte Byndas’ Cell

Number: +12484311807 Date: 7/17/2009 4:26:09 PM Message: You are a day away from the lawsuit and all it details being on the web for all to see. Not by my doing when its filed it goes public.

Number: +12484311807 Date: 7/17/2009 4:29:25 PM Message: Comps on your house coming in at decent levels. :). You really should pull those BLOGS down.

Number: +12484311807 Date: 7/18/2009 3:43:03 PM Message: I spent alot of time this morning in my garden. Your neighbor has a nice garden. I am from Canton we probably know the same people.

Because of the above text messages, references to my neighbors backyard (only visible if you trespass), obtaining “comps” on my house, threatening to have dozens of people call me, and sending “Smiley Faces” via text message at bizarre hours of the morning, day, and night I decided to have a Personal Protection Order drafted against Charlotte Byndas.  My attorneys drafted the order with a copy of the text messages but since their forte is not PPO’s they don’t know there are other forms required and the first trip to the courthouse results in a return visit to my attorney’s office to complete the additional forms. These are completed and the courier takes them back to the courthouse several days later and finds that yet an additional piece of paperwork is required.  It’s not the attorney’s fault, it was similar to asking a neurosurgeon to remove a wart. I’ll go through the litigation process at a later date when it’s finalized but my attorney’s have been true “counselors” of professional stature.  With the voice notification that an additional form was required, I decide to delay the implementation of the PPO but reserve the option in the event the harassment and veiled threats continue.  An additional consideration is that Lorie and I are planning to leave town for awhile and work from our remote location; thereby being far enough away that any threat posed by a zealot COO would be minimized.
