NetworkEngineer 12 Report post Posted February 5 A Quick update: I finally got a response from the Arbitration folks. They sent a letter (and CC'd me) to the law firm representing the junk debt buyer informing them that a consumer arbitration has been filed and the consumer fees of $200 were paid. They are asking the JDB to pay $2,800 for the case to move forward ! They only have a couple of weeks to do this. I'll post an update when I know more. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a good time to send the attorney a settlement offer of mutual dismissal with prejudice. (you drop your arbitration case and they drop the court case with prejudice). I would state that my offer expires on the same date that AAA said their payment is due. This gives them a better 'out' than to pay the bill they are now facing to continue. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the standard and much easier to have a record of what was said in negotiation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NetworkEngineer 12 Report post Posted March 1 A quick update: Following Firsthardcheese's advice, I sent the mutual dismissal letter and I was contacted by the JDB's lawyer. We agreed to a mutual dismissal with prejudice and a removal of the trade line from my credit report ! I checked the court website and saw their dismissal was filed on Feb 27th. I agreed to dismiss my arbitration (which I advised AAA to do). So Wow - this is a big relief. I could not have done this without the help of this forum - Thanks everyone ! I'll still be checking in if anyone has any questions or if I can offer any advice. I posted a copy of all of my redacted docs earlier in this thread. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know this happened some months back, and with this COVID thing I'm now catching up on some emails — I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!! Glad the arbitration route is working in Cali!! 🥳 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
