Weltman trying to collect on an old Chase Acct for Midland

[bmc100]

For my wife, things keep getting better. On Saturday, Weltman sent a collections letter threatening legal action if she does not pay on an old Chase card for the benefit of Midland.

 

Given the acount they are claiming $1,900, I am writing them back with a demand to compel arbitration. I do not need my wife going back in front of this same judge who is looking like he is going to dismiss a separate case. This will make her look bad and this judge might not be as opened-minded with her against Midland.

 

Now, I need a copy of the Chase Terms from 2008 showing the arbitration clause. Anyone have it?

Thank you Racecar. Which of the two arbitration forums is best?

At one time, NAF was no longer arbitrating credit card disputes.   They were sued because of their tactics.   You need to find out if they're even available now.  If the account defaulted after 2008, check the agreement for year the account went into default or was charged off.  If it includes JAMS, that forum would be best.  Linda7 has stated that it's the most debtor-friendly forum.
