indotx Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 It was in December 2018, my case was dismissed without prejudice. But, yesterday I got served again. This is the link to my thread The same company, PRA, using the same attorney Rausch Sturm sued me again for the same debt. It's not even a year ago this case was dismissed! I'm now skeptical if someone told me that they won't file again anytime soon after the case was dismissed. RAUSCH STURM sounds very evil to me, don't y'all think? ? Please, any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the SOL is still active they can do that. 20 minutes ago, indotx said: I'm now skeptical if someone told me that they won't file again anytime soon after the case was dismissed. RAUSCH STURM sounds very evil to me, don't y'all think? Typically they don't refile. They are looking for the easy hanging fruit not to have to prove their case. RSIEH is a typical large scale debt collection law firm and nothing more. 21 minutes ago, indotx said: Please, any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thank you. Clearly they were not scared off by sending discovery they simply walked away to regroup. If it were me I would file an answer with the affirmative defense of private contractual arbitration in JAMS and file in JAMS to get the ball rolling. I would also file the separate MTC arbitration at the same time. If the court grants the motion and RSIEH doesn't drop it the settlement agreement would be I drop arb if they dismiss WITH prejudice and drop the entire matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Seaward Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 It's not entirely clear from the other thread. Did you ever make a move for arbitration, or you simply used discovery? And if you did use discovery, what did you send them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOL is supposed to be expired next year, so I guess they’re trying hard to race with the time! That attorney who’s assigned to this case just graduated last year when I looked him up and doesn’t even have a good signature as a lawyer should have. Thank you for your response and suggestions @Clydesmom, I’ll look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can try that again, or go the 100% route and use arbitration this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd try arbitration this time. Time to study it again. Thank you for your support and suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Seaward Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Just FYI, yours is the first case I've ever heard of a JDB refilling after previously dismissing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indotx Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 @Harry Seawardpossibly they just randomly picked the accounts in bulk without even checking. And too bad one of them was me. I did not expect it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackFromTheDebt Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Nothing surprises me anymore. The accounts my wife and I had wound up with so many complete oddball stuff that ALMOST never happens. Reading this forum and the defunct DB forum I saw stuff that was truly mind boggling. But it all happened. Your case is unusual, but nowhere close to the strangest. Not by a long shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as a "good signature" or that a lawyer is required to have one. When you are in a field like legal or medical where you are signing things ALL the time it is a very short process to a signature that is merely a scrawl.

You mentioned that it looks like a new lawyer, They could have non-suited several cases last year, due to workload, and have started off the new guy on those cases, since the "boilerplate" work of filing was already done once - basically give him some cases that are farther along.

I looked him up, he graduated in 2018. But to my understanding, the new young lawyers might more aggressive. They try to prove themselves worthy, you know. And I think the company knows that too, that’s why they gave it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody_Ouchless Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I don't know about that. Consumer debt collection is about as low as it gets for a lawyer, so he's probably some idiot who is just glad he has a gig - which probably doesn't pay enough to cover his student loans. Arbitration will make make them go away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand they have scribble signatures but this one is just different. Or probably he signed it on a signature pad. Just a little off topic, for fun ?

Goody_Ouchless Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 That looks like he signed it with a mouse - they probably do that once, in the system, and it just adds the image when he clicks "sign" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
