I have done a ton of reading on here, the Michigan cases in particular. I have a decent idea of my options moving forward. I am trying to decide which way should proceed. Im really leaning toward arbitration and filing MTC in Lieu of answer , but havent been able to find the cardmember agreement from when the account was still active. Im still having trouble with filing an answer if i proceed that way.
