You've been trying to get your old job back? You should not wait around for them to re-think their termination and get yourself a job FAST!
Since you were that great of a worker, then they'll have no problem giving you a good reference when your next job calls them to verify your previous employment.
I recommend you have a garage sale, borrow money from friends/family, or re-finance your house to make the mortgage payments.
Waiting for HR to call is a waste of time, you need to pay on your house and move forward. I would call your mortgage company and see if you can re-finance - cash in some equity and delay your mortgage payments for a few months until you get on your feet.

Did you have a contract guaranteeing employment through a certain date? Most jobs are "at will," meaning the employee can quit at any time for no reason and the employee can be fired at any time for no reason.
Anybody can sue anybody at any time for anything. Doesn't mean the case wouldn't be thrown out of court at the first hearing. From a non-legal standpoint, unless you can prove discrimination of a protected class, your chances are probably slim. There are lawyers out there who will let you talk to them about your situation without charging you. Illinois has a program for free legal help to low income individuals, and I'm sure other states do also.

You screwed up by not having a clue, buddy. You think HR didn't know he was firing you? And you've been calling HR for three months thinking they'll talk to you?
Call your state's department of labor (that's a government office). See what you can salvage out of this. You need help.
Something tells me we're not getting the full story.

Until you prove discrimination you don't have a case unfortunately. Unless you had an employment contract you can be fired for any reason at any time. But if you did have a contract then contact an attorney...otherwise look for new employment and good luck to you.

First things first. Lawsuits take a lot of money and time, so go get a new job. You've got to pay an attorney to make any of that happen, and you've got to eat and keep your house while it's happening. Remember, go find a new job. Preferably one that doesn't make you write much.

An employer has every right to let go an employee for whatever reason he wants. There is no job guarantee when you go to work for someone! Sue? For what?

Agree with the first answer, you were terminated for not being smart enough with your English writing and punctuations.
