I just wrote this whole post and it disappeared. Ugh!! but in a nut shell LVNV did not show up at the hearing and the arbitrator and I waited 30 mins, no call no show and I just got my confirmation letter (see attached) lvnv arb award to Defendent.pdf

Hello All, I have lurked on this forum for over a year now. I have filed my response to JDB's counsel Harris and Zide. My case has fallen into the hands of arbitration (judicial non-binding). Of course I got a Declaration in Lieu of Testimony and there was no name of the affiant nor an address. I sent JDB's counsel a meet and confer letter (CC'd arbitrator) and they basically told me to kick rocks and were rude and nasty...so I am unable to subpoena their witness for cross examination. I will object to the affiant's declaration but I am not sure how to do that in my brief or if I should, any thoughts?. This case has been going on since July of last year and I know that I do have the fall back of requesting trial if I don't like the arbitrator's response so I am not too concerned or should I be? Does anyone have a sample Defendant's arbitration brief to share?...A copy of Plaintiff's brief is attached... I am also preparing my motion to strike, motion in limine and request for summary judgment for failure to state a claim once arb is done I didn't know to do this a year ago. They also sent junk and no precise chain of title/assignment...same game just a different player. Please let me know if you have any issues thoughts or concerns. "My meet and confer letter is attached here is there response: Dear Ms. XXXX: The meet and confer code section you reference does not apply to the issues you have presented. That code section addresses issues with discovery responses. My office last provided discovery responses to you in February. The deadline bring a motion with regard to any issues you had with those responses has long passed. The court has referred this matter to arbitration and expects the arbitration completed within a reasonable time. Plaintiff intends to go forward with the arbitration as ordered by the court. Plaintiff believes its form complaint sufficiently pleads a cause of action. If you do not agree, then it is up to you to determine what steps you should be taking. Plaintiff believes it has submitted sufficient evidence in its declaration to support entry of judgment. If you do not agree, then again, it is up to you to determine how to address that. Plaintiff’s declaration is being used pursuant to the California Rules of Court for use of declarations at an Arbitration. The Code of Civil Procedure rules regarding use of a declaration at trial do not apply to an arbitration. Plaintiff disagrees with your position and contentions and will vigorously any and all of the baseless motions you claim you will file. Sincerely. Flint Zide lvnv.doc lvnv brief.pdf By the way I did seek to find legal counsel (defense counsel and consumer attorneys in my area) but none would take my case because the amount they are suing me for is so low (they said they would not feel right billing me $250.00 per hour for a $1700.00 claim) SMH...OC Credit One and JDB LVNV Funding... declaration in lieu of testimony.pdf
