ksmith797 Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 I was served today with a summons and complaint from LVNV Funding, LLC. I live in Arizona. My questions are as follows: 1. After I file my Answer letter with the Court Clerk, should I first put forth a motion to Compel Arbitration OR, should I first submit a motion for LVNV to provide Verification of the debt/bill of sale between the original creditor and LVNV? * Note: The complaint includes a photocopy of an old credit card bill with my name, address and amount owed (only $978.65). This doesn't seem sufficient at all for documentation for Verification of debt. 2. Should I even bother filing for Debt verification, or would filing for Arbitration be enough to possibly get this dismissed? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verification of debt is done before case is filed in court don't bother you can use discovery to find out what they have. As for filing Arbitration in Maricopa it is a wildcard. Filing Arbitration will only stay (e.g. pause) the lawsuit not dismiss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ changed its laws some years ago to allow an "Account Stated" Cause of Action. What is "Account Stated"? Simple - they sent you a bill, you didn't object to it or dispute it, therefore you accepted it and admitted it. One old credit card statement is sufficient in "Account Stated".

It depends which route you want to take. If you want to do arb, you do NOT want to engage in any discovery in court (which is what filing a motion for the JDB to provide proof is). Doing discovery in court could waive your arbitration rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
