xanadu Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Went to court today and I won, lawyer was a fill-in for palisades and ask the judge to dismiss the case and I agreed, case over 2 minutes, the lawyer had no evidence just noting for the case they just wanted to see if I would show up well, I did, I did my homework they lost, so people out there answer the summons, go to court if you have to and do your homework and you will be fine. These people are looking for default so there you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueq Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Can you imagine the numerous default judgments that get rendered simply because no one shows up!Its a crime at what goes on in these court rooms. lawyers showing up with no witness and no evidence trying to extort judgments from the court simply because people are afraid to show up or speak up!

maryv Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Congrats xanadu! That's exactly what they bank on, the defendant not bothering to show up. I thank heavens everyday that I stumbled across this site! It's the best and it's saved me so much $$. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methuss Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 You'd think the judge would have censured or at the least sanctioned Pallisades for admitting they filed a lawsuit with no evidence to back their claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My case is against Palisades too and the attorney sent me a dismissal motion to sign cause they have nothing. I am not rolling over that easy though, filing a counterclaim for violations and punitive damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m2aclark Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Palisades is HORRIBLE. I have dealt with them many a time. The are a tertiary (third) buyer. They're average purchase price on that paper is 4 cents. 4 FREAKING CENTS! and they push hard to settle for no less than 95% of the balance. Fight them every chance you get!!!

Houdino Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 You'd think the judge would have censured or at the least sanctioned Pallisades for admitting they filed a lawsuit with no evidence to back their claim.Absolutely! In fact it should be mandatory sanctions for an Attorney or law firm to act in this way. They are "officers of the court" and should not be allowed to pull this kind of BS. They should have to submit AT LEAST some basic evidence to support their claim before it's allowed to proceed beyond the filing stage. Just MHO of course...

Scouse Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 "You'd think the judge would have censured or at the least sanctioned Pallisades for admitting they filed a lawsuit with no evidence to back their claim."In Ohio a CA can file a suit then try to obtain proof. Ohio's RCP allows a CA to attach written instrument (if applicable) to complaint OR given reason why it isn't attached.This allows the CA to file the complaint without having a shred of evidence. If the defendant responds to the complaint (most don't) then they try to get the "proof" or if they can't...they drop their case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouse Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I do not come from Ohio so moving here was a shocker. I didn't think there existed in the US a state so backwards, so behind the times. There is a flip side to courts allowing CA to file suits without having a shred of evidence. The courts (remember Ohio is a poor state) get $125 or more (depending on the county) for each suit filed. The courts in the county where I live are not very busy so these frivilous lawsuits aren't clogging up the court system. Until the Ohio RCP is amended this will continue......I did a search on 3 different county court sites and the only cases I could find where the CA won, were by default. Any cases where the non moving party responded to the complaint and followed through.....the CAs dismissed the cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutty five Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Those JDB's are really hoping that the other party will simply no show. The sad reality is that most people do not have the resource of this forum in their back pocket and simply get scared and do a no show. Judgment for plaintiff........For every victory like this one there are probably countess folks who pull a no show and get a judgment on them.terrific job!!!!!!!!!!!!

annabananasf Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hey Xanadu--have you filed a memorandum of costs? In california, once the dismissal is filed, as the "prevailing party" you can recoup your filing fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
