		<description>THIS IS THE SAME HIRED GUN SCAM THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS PULLS ON THE VETERANS OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY. THEY HAVE PAID HIRED GUN MEDICAL EXAMINERS THAT LIE TO TURN DISABILITY CLAIMS DOWN OVER AND OVER TILL THE VETERAN DIES. THE MEDICAL CLAIM ALSO DIES WHEN THE VETERAN DIES. OUR GOVERNMENT IS JUST AS BAD AS THESE SCUMBAGS.</description>

		<description>Say... what? It sounds like you&#039;re dealing with a bankruptcy, not arbitration. I&#039;m also wondering why you&#039;re asking such a question on the internet rather than asking your lawyer. Yes, the lawyer might charge you to answer the questions but bad answers from strangers on the internet could cost you a lot more! Please ask your lawyer.  If that isn&#039;t possible for some reason, go to a consumer forum that has a bankruptcy section, like creditboards.com.</description>

		<description>I need your help in understanding something. 58 days after the Meeting of Creditors, MBNA filed a complaint (Adversary Proceeding cover sheet) regarding my purchases as being fraudulent ($24,575). These purchases were made within 2 months time. There are legitamate reasons why I made those purchases within that time frame. Anyway, I found this information on PACER (info. on all court stuff). I called my lawyer and he knows nothing about it. Could this be a scam, a scare tactic? I didn&#039;t receive any paperwork in the mail and it has been 2-3 days since MBNA electronically filed these papers via PACER. If this is a true adversary proceeding, do I have to go to court or can I resolve this via mail or phone? I hate going to court.</description>

		<description>Okay... got a slight variation for you...  In 2005 I used a 3rd party debt settlement company to negotiate a settlement on my Bank One account.  The first 3 payments were withdrawn from account without any problem, the final payment was submitted incorrectly to my bank and was denied as an unknown account #.  At this time Chase took over B-1.  We (myself and the 3rd part company) contacted and re-initiated the final payment with the same result.  In dealing with Chase they refused to honor the settlement agreement and tried offering a new settlement on the balance (which had accrued major interest).  While dealing with Chase I received notice from Mann Bracken on their collection effort.  I supplied them will all documentation(bank documentation as well) of Bank One/Chase&#039;s error in trying to withdraw the final payment and disputed the account with Chase as well.  Next thing I received was an Arbitration notice (May 2006).  I responded back to Mann Bracken with all of the documentation that backed up the settlement agreement and proved the creditors error is submitting the request for final payment.  I have not heard anything from Mann Bracken since they received this packet in 2006.  This past week I received a 2nd Notice of Arbitration along with their letter of offer to settle for 75% of the balance!  In reviewing the paperwork, the only thing that has changed was my address (the amount of accrued interest was still the same as in 2006 and stating that interest would continue to accrue until settlement/judgement!)The rest of the form was exactly the same (the same NAF case # as well from 2 years ago!)  My question is this... I feel that they are trying to bluff me with the notice, and my intention is to respond with all of the same backup as before, but do I need to go head and send this to NAF as well (as I did not the first time)?  Should I contact NAF to verify the case # that is listed on the notice to see if it is actually valid?  It is obvious that MB did not proceed with Arbitration process the first time, but will they this time or are they just trying to use scare tactics (since my SOL is up in 9 months) I have the response packet ready to go to MB (I feel the quicker I respond with so much documentation,the more effect it has, that way they realize I am completely on top of this issue)  Any insight would be appreciated!!!  Thank You!!!</description>

		<description>Hi there. I need some advice please can someone help me what to do. I just received a letter from National Arbitration Forum regarding my Chase Bank USA before that i haven&#039;t pay completely yet. I don&#039;t know what to do or what is my next step to do. I never receive this type of letter before and I don&#039;t exactly understand what ARBITRATION is. Please can someone advice me. I&#039;d really appreciate it.

Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

God bless,

		<description>County judges are on the take too if you ask me. They just rule against the defendants without a hearing in most cases I have heard. What ticks me off most is debt collectors by their illegal tactics force people into hiring lawyers who then get our hard earned money because of it. Shakespeare was right. Kill all the lawyers.</description>

		<description>NeedHelpNow, unfortunately the NAF typically IGNORES the Refusal of Arbitration letter and proceeds to issue an award. They might now file in court to confirm the award into a judgment, but it&#039;s not unusual for them to WAIT for a few weeks or months (until your state laws no longer allow you to successfully oppose confirmation of the award!) However, by sending the Refusal you have given yourself some room within which to fight confirmation of the award in court - as long as you do it within the legal timeframe according to your state law. I highly recommend reading the articles found here: http://www.cirthinktank.info/articles.html.  Then consult with a NACA attorney to explore the options available under applicable state law.</description>
