What's happening
Most credit card agreements include a private arbitration clause. Forcing the case out of court and into arbitration is expensive for the collector, and often makes them drop the case entirely. It's one of the most powerful moves available to you.
What to do about it
- Check whether your original agreement has an arbitration clause
- File a motion to compel arbitration if it does
- Understand the timing, raise it early so you don't waive it
