Just need a little validation/advice in Georgia -Midland
AnonJ replied to AnonJ's topic in Collections
You're so knowledgeable. It's helpful having a sounding board. My car is definitely not high value and won't be paid off until next year. It was Cobb county. The judge was definitely more compassionate than I was expecting, even in the other cases I was overhearing . I used to work in a different court and I know the attitude of the judge can make a huge difference in pro se cases. My only concern was when he was like " I'm not sure you'll get better outcome in arbitration" but then he went on to get into the disability questions basically stating to the attorney that I couldn't be garnished -

That makes sense. It wasn't actually Goodman in court, but another attorney under him. There was a lady he was speaking with as well. They went out into the hall to talk after I mentioned the MTC and it looks like he tried to find a different contract. I'm guessing he called the office during that time. The order is entered. I just checked. So I apply for JAMS and hope for the best at this point, correct ? Thanks again for all the responses. It's been an emotional day. Things are kind of falling apart as they have been for a while. When the judge asked me about the disability stuff, he e -

Emmett Goodman. They all just kept acting like I was stupid for not taking the payment plan consent judgement. Maybe I am but I didn't see why I should make it easier on them. The attorney was snotty enough to go through with arbitration just to spite me it seems even if it ends up costing them more. -
Today I had court in Georgia after being sued by Midland for $948. They attempted to sue me in April 2018 in the wrong county and then served me in the right one January 2019. In the time between, I attempted to contact Midland and sent their attorney a letter from doctor stating I'm disabled and it's unlikely to change with no collectable income. They were unsympathetic, despite what is written on their own website. Following the advice I read here, I comprised a demand letter and motion to compel arbitration. I handed it to the attorney in the hallway this morning. He claimed not to have a

Thank you so much for the advice. I replied a little bit more in detail above but I will definitely try that.

Thank you so much for your response . I just got back into town from visiting my grandmother and checked the mail. I had 3 letters from Bankruptcy attorneys referencing the case number filed against me. I attempted to look it up online but there is no information yet. That's really good to hear about Midland. I will definitely call the clerk's office Monday morning. After reading some of the horror stories on here I was just a little afraid and apprehensive about what to do. I'm really ready to do whatever I can to put all of this behind me as I never thought that this would be my life before

Hello everyone ! I'm going to paraphrase the long story that brought me here. Basically , I was in a car accident a few years ago. Failed spine surgeries and lost just about everything while waiting on workers comp . I'm still unable to work full time and I receive the weekly checks of what was a low paying government job. This was my first job out of college . I had a few credit card debts that I worked hard to pay off but in the worst of it , they got charged off. I kept hoping I could return to work and settle it with the bottom feeders. I've had to move twice in the last year. My c
