Quader Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 who is the OC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoCares1000 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 The OC is probably the credit union itself and I would suggest settling. Credit Unions did not do the same idiotic stuff as banks. As such, they did not put arbitration clauses in their contracts and they keep very good records. I really do not think this person would have a chance of defending this case.

ADSOFT Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Are you being sued by the actual CU or did they sell the debt.btw, I would post the default section of the agreeement. Just because no arbitration clause, doesn't mean that there are other ways to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueq Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) Was the one with NO ARBITRATION CLAUSE &the ACA's top accredited and award winning creditor law firm coming after me.This law firm shows up. Has all the documents and has an honest to God witness for the OC.I motioned, I appealed, and still lost, but still negotiated a discount settlement for the judgment AND GOT JUDGMENT VACATED AS PART OF THE DISCOUNTED LUMPM SUM PAYMENT DEAL. However, I would have paid half as much had I settled this one before judgment.I am Mr. fight all the way, but if you can't see the path to victory, I'd settle.ORUse money from a credit card that does have an arbitration clause to pay this CU off and default on the card you can beat.HOWEVER,This same bank has now inserted an arbitration clause, and I am going after them in arbitration for violating consumer law...so its not over. I don't like to lose! Edited May 2, 2010 by trueq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stStep Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'd do the following- 1. Answer lawsuit.2. Make a lowball settlement offer and send it to both the atty and the CU's Board of Directors... their the boss here... in your offer to the Board, use language like " in the interest of keeping litigation costs low..."

Once the prove they have all the elements of the case, then negotiate a settlement, less than the amount you owed prior to the time you stopped paying.

goodguy2 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'm not sure what you mean by this, did they sell the debt to JDB.The way to know for sure is to look at the case: Who is the plantiff?I am not sure if you guys understand the secondary markets for buying and selling debts. In simple terms most banks sell their loans the moment the loan is formed then loan out the same money again and again and again what happens is the debt assignments are not done correctly back and forth as required by UCC and state commercial code.So it is kind of a Novation defense. Very complicated and most judges don't even want to go there.But i can try to teach the judges, if they will listen to a pro se Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoCares1000 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Local credit union huh? Looks like they have their ducks in a row and are probably going to get a judgment. I would suggest seeing if you can negotiate with them but otherwise, I do not see you getting out of this.Understand that local banks and credit unions did not and do not follow the activities of the regional and national banks. They are more likely to keep their records in order and not sell off the debts to CAs and JDBs. They do things the way banks did things when your grandparents were alive. Because of that, when they sue you, they will have the paperwork and odds are likely they will win.Sorry to not have better news for you but sometimes, that is the way it is.
