Have You Successfully Defended Yourself in Court

[Credator 297]

Yes.

 

I won a Judgment.

 

I don't see that option, so I can't participate in the poll.  *Weep*

 

1 for 1

I feel your pain. I was thinking the same thing. Pesky poll limitations!

 

Congratulations!

Hello,

 

I am new to this site and haven't quite figured out how to post a new topic. I recently found out that Capital One took me to court November 2011 and won. Now I am being contacted by Kohn Law Firm to collect this amount. When looking up the court case # online they took someone else to court. She has the same name as me but lives in a different county, her address is posted and her place of employment is also posted for garnishing. I am very confused how this happened. If the debt is supposedly mine, shouldn't I have known about the court case? When I called about the letter I received I gave them my name, address, phone number, and last 4 of my social...all of a sudden this hits my credit report. Is there anything I can do about this? I am going to contact Capital One directly to figure it out (I currently have an open account through them in good standing). What should I ask? The "law firm" stated the debt is from spring of 2009.

 

Thank you!

I would find a consumer attorney.

[SleeplessinNY 10]

My first tri(al) - Judge ruled that debt was mine and JDB purchased it :waah:

 

But..I could tell he DOES NOT like them or their attorneys.  He almost dismissed it, but at least helped me negotiate/settle for less than 50% with "almost" affordable payments.

 

I was very nervous and unsure of myself. 

 

Not happy with outcome but was afraid of it being worse.

 

I still don't like what these JDB are doing.

 

Unfortunately I have quite a bit more crap heading my way very soon.

 

I appreciate all the help I received here.

 

I better get cracking & studying up for the next bout.  I guess I was expecting them to dismiss the suit when I didn't let them have it by default but look who's laughing now.

 

[RyanEX 884]

1-0

 

A dismissal w/o prejudice from Midland, now beyond SOL. I expect a few more suits in the future.

[Anon Amos 2,247]

Hey RyanEX; don't jinx your self (regarding the "I expect a few more suits in the future") You never know, they may just go away.

 

Congrats again none the less.

Thank you !!

A few years ago I had about 80k in credit card debt and had just closed my business of 20 years. I stopped paying the cards, got a loan mod for my house and eventually settled with most of the credit companies except Amex for about 20 %. Thru Zwicker, Amex sued me for just over 17k and for some reason would not even talk about a settlement of any less. After doing a little investigation on the internet (mostly here), I decided to answer the complaint and show up in court and at least hopefully get them to settle.

Within a month or so I had sent them a Request for Bill of Particulars and received back 2 inches of past bills. After some 6 months or so with no settlement talk and more investigation I sent a letter to both Amex and Zwicker choosing arbitration thru JAMS. From what I was reading it should have been too late to do this but I did it anyway and had requested from the court a date for bringing a Motion to Compel Arbitration. I had also sent Zwicker a letter stating this.

With a day to go before my deadline to actually file the Motion I received a phone call from one of the attorneys there that they were dropping the case and had already filed the papers to do so. WOW !!  I was hoping that they were calling to talk settling for maybe 4-5k and they just drop the case, no negotiating, no nothing, and guess what, it's WITH prejudice. Whoopee !! I don't know what happened and I'm not going to ask them, but WOW.

Thank you so much for all the help! I just wanted you all to know what is going on out there that maybe you don't see.

THIS WEBSITE ROCKS !! Smitty

I am so proud of you.  It is because you showed them, through your MIL, that you knew the law.  They would much prefer to go after "low-hanging fruit"---folks that didn't take the time to understand their rights.

 

Nice going!

Midland Funding tried suing me here in Michigan.  They did not provide a proper and clear valid assignment.  With the help of everyone on this site especially the posts by @bmc100 and @Brotherskeeper.  I won a dismissal with prejudice.

@chick8feet

 

 Way to go!!!

 

 Hey, first post is to announce a win?!!!!!

 

If you have any info you'd like to share, please do so. You never know who you'll help.

[Seadragon 840]

I won the first one they filed w/o prejudice morning of trial. The second one was with a temp judge for trial and I lost, appealed, lost that and took it all the way to the California supreme court(review denied). BUT I am happy to report that I have helped hundreds over the wall. Revenge is the coldest of dishes. The debt collection industry can take notice that a technical state of war exists between me and them. I am going to help thousands so help me god.
