justincase Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 To make a long story short, I sued CA in SCC for $2,000, before the court date CA lawyer called and we agreed to settle for $1,000 and deletion from my CR's which was done in like 48 hrs. in return for me to dimiss with predjudice, I was like fine. He said that he would send waiver for me to sign along with check, I went to court house and had case dismissed. 2 weeks go by I call and spoke with him and stated that I hadn't received anything from him yet and that I dismissed case as agreed, he was like let me call CA to see what's going on. He called me back today and said CA have to look into why no check yet. I think I'm screwed! Because I dismissed with predjudice means I can't go back and re-file. Any insight!!!!!

bigjohnstud4200 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Are you sure you dismissed with prejudice? If so, maybe you can try and sue again for breach of contract. Did you tape any calls? I would call back and tape the call, ask them where the settlement is, etc. Get them on recording. If you can't get anything on recording now, bluff it and tell them you have them on recording and will sue for breach of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
