Portfolio Recovery Associates filed a claim against me in small claims court against a Synchrony Bank/Pay Pal CC account on November of 2018. I filed an answer to their claim along with a lack of subject matter jurisdiction and requested to elect the private arbitration clause. When we got to court the attorney had no idea about the answer/motion (I kindly provided her a copy of the certified notice). The judge ruled in my favor and ordered that my motion to invoke Arbitration was granted. Per tbe Synchrony agreement, we had to use AAA. I filled out the forms, paid the $200 and got the ball rolling. They sent the PRA lawyers 3 requests for the payment for the case to proceed (which exceeds what I owe). The last date was 2/14. I got a notice today that says that they (AAA) are not moving forward with the case because PRA lawyers haven’t paid. My question is, what do I do now? Take a copy of all of the AAA paperwork and file it with the court to cover my a$$?
