Ask the clerk if the judge is going to issue a written order because you need one to include with the paperwork to AAA. I called and they said the case was dismissed and I could come pick up some sort of notice (a dissolution notice? A disposition notice? Some sort of notice) which states he granted my motion. Is that sufficient? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now it is up to PRA to either fulfill their "rights" under that, or just call it a wash. Either way, make sure you keep everything relating to this matter. You never know if PRA will try to file again against you, if they have time under the statute of limitations. But if they do, just repeat process. What they are referring to could be the order stating it was dismissed due to arbitration or something of the sort. It should be sufficient, I would think but may want to wait for someone else to chime in on that specifically with knowledge of South Carolina courts. I apologize for my late reply, I was out on the road working. I am glad you were able to get the desired outcome, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I meant will it be sufficient to file that with AAA? AAA asks for a court order and this isn’t technically an order it’s just some sort of document stating the judge granted my motion.

Well only way to know for sure is get the document and send it in. Worst that could happen is they ask what it is. I would send it in - if it were me. And you're welcome.

WillingtoFight593 5 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I just picked up the document and it is a Disposition Notice saying the case is dismissed and the motion to compel arbitration is granted. I will send it in with my AAA demand form and see what happens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WillingtoFight593 5 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I submitted all the forms via certified mail today to both the JDB and the AAA. We will see what comes next! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WillingtoFight593 5 Posted January 5 Author Report Share Posted January 5 I sent in the forms but haven’t heard anything back. I didn’t do it electronically because electronically I would’ve been forced to pay the money automatically to file, with the paper version that you mail in, I just stated per the contract the business is responsible for the fees. How does AAA normally get in touch with people after filing? Should I be expecting an email? A phone call? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have a victory, and the chances of them ever filing again are very low. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blue1234 2 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Hi this thread has been very helpful as I am going through the same thing in SC right now. If at all possible @WillingtoFight593 could you jump in on my thread and answer a few questions? I have to file an answer with the court this week. Thank you! Did you file an affidavit with your answer and what letter did you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do you guys think? Sign it? Wasn't your case already dismissed by the judge? I would check the court rules to see if once your answer is filed, a joint stipulation is required to dismiss a case. If yes (which I suspect since they are trying to get you to sign this stipulated order), then I agree with @BV80 to reply and state that you would be willing to stipulate to a mutual dismissal WITH prejudice. You literally have nothing to lose, since it's already technically dismissed anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
