How to ask for arbitration when debt buyer doesn't provide contract?


Recommended Posts

I have had various credit cards over the years so I am not sure which card they are refering to from "Credit One Bank 2016."

I looked up a general contract from that year and it says while you can elect, arbitation is for amounts greater than 5000.

 

What do I do now? Forget asking for arbitration and just deny the accusations?

I've never heard of this in any credit card arbitration agreement.  The attached Credit One agreement is dated 4/30/2016 and has no such limitation.  It does have the "small claims" exemption, but Michigan small claims doesn't permit lawyers in small claims court, so they couldn't have sued you there anyway.

Harry it is a Visa if that matters.

Are you saying I can elect arbitration ? Does that mean they are suing me in distrct court?

How do I ask? Do I attach the 2016 contract and ask for arbitration WITH answers to their claims?

Did you file an answer? If yes, can you post it with personal info redacted? 

Here are 2 recent threads by another Michigan poster you may find some useful info in:

 

Thanks you BrothersKeeper, I have been reading so many threads here I have lost count.

I am writing it right now and will post as soon as I'm done.

I' m looking to challenge 1. Jurisdiction and force arbitration  2. Standing

QUESTION: Do I have to print out the entire Credit One Bank contract or just the arbitration clause?

You need to print out the whole contract because the judge will want to see it in its entirety. Also, if you do not do print out the whole contract, the opposing attorney may say that the contract had no such clause. When it comes to the contract, don't be penny wise and dollar foolish. Pay whatever it takes to print out the whole contract.

Seriously???? It's 200 pages!!!!! That's 20 dollars per copy!

I'm sorry, but I thought this was a credit card agreement. I'm not familiar with a typical credit card agreement being 200 pages long. I am not a lawyer. IMO demonstrating that the arbitration clause is an integral part of the binding contract means submitting the correct type of contract for the type of credit card from the time period when the account went into default.

Each type of agreement listed in Harry's link is about 7 pages long.
