diamonddan73 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 With all of the cases you have seen or heard of. What would you consider enough proof not to try to defend your self but work out a settlement with a JDB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy1960 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I am with Jackson, on this one. If you were asking about OC, I would feel differently. Everything I have seen, read and experienced so far is JDB's big issue is the witness or affiant. Someone has to authenticate the business records and Bill of Sale, and they need personal knowledge.Most OC's don't supply witness to JDB for trial, so how does the witness from the JDB have personal knowledge of how the books, statement, bill of sale were kept or executed.Given that you will have should have a chance to settle near trail time. We were asked about settlement the morning of trial, we offered they laughed. My attorney beat them and won judgement for defendant. This was a suit brought by OC not JDB, but the OC had a Collection Attorney handle the case. The collection attorney farmed it out to local rent a lawyer. They had a witness from the OC, and still lost because they didn't pay attention to the evidence they submitted.Don't let your fear keep you from defending your rights. I realize that is easy for me to say as I had an attorney on the case I referenced, but I have forced settlement through arbitration on a case, settled another on my own and lost one to Summary Judgement which I still was able to settle for $1300 dollars less than judgement they won.So you are still in the game....
