6897Q Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 I went court this morning. When I answered the summons, I filed a motion to compel to arbitration. The judge granted the motion. The attorney from the law firm that is suing me was not there some other local attorney showed up to handle the case. The Judge acted clueless to the arbitration clause on my CC agreement. For some strange reason when I got the card I kept all the papers they sent me and I had the original CC agreement. I think the attorney was very surprised that I still had it. So what do I do now? Contact Jams and set up the arbitration and see of portfolio attends it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can open a case on the JAMS website. What was the court's ruling on the pending lawsuit? Did it schedule a status conference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never stated anything about a status conference or coming back to see him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Seaward Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 What does the agreement say about who initiates arbitration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobk4me Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Is there an online court docket you can search to find out exactly what has happened, what the ruling was? And you might want to wait a little before filing in JAMS, to see if you receive a written ruling from the court with any instructions to the parties. You just had the hearing today, so it may take a few days for the court to make an official ruling and send it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have paid the initial fees on a couple of recent cases here, so there's a decent chance it will get to that point. We've seen them do that in the past, but then eventually drop out when the second wave of fees comes up. There's nothing you can really do about it if they do follow so there's no point in worrying about it. Just stay the course. Are you planning to make your own claims against them in arbitration?

nobk4me Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 If the case was dismissed, why does the OP have to do anything? I am assuming it was dismissed without prejudice? I doubt very much if PRA will initiate an arbitration. The only thing they would or could do is sue the OP again. So you file the MTC arb again, and maybe initiate arb then if they claim you are not serious. They have claims against you, so I would say it's their responsibility to initiate. Now, if the court case had been stayed, not dismissed, I would say the OP should initiate arb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming it was dismissed without prejudice? @6897Q what does the order say? Usually the lawsuits are stayed pending arbitration, and in this case you'll have to initiate arb. If it's dismissed with prejudice, nothing further needs to happen. If it's dismissed without prejudice, PRA can go back and object to arbitration on the grounds that you waived your right by not following though the first time.

6897Q Posted May 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 The order says: MOTION TO COMPEL filed by ( My Name ) is hereby GRANTED. The case is to be resolved by arbitration pursuant the agreement between the original creditor and the Defendant. The case is DISMISSED. That's all it says.

fisthardcheese Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 If this were me, I would file a claim against PRA in JAMS and serve the attorney for PRA a copy of my JAMS demand. In the off chance PRA wants to re-open this case or file some type of notice or sanctions, I would not want to be the person trying to explain to the judge why I did not follow his order after I asked for arbitration and it was granted by him all over a simply JAMS filing that PRA won't participate in anyway.
