I was sued by Discover/Zwicker in county court (Florida) despite me opting for arbitration in my DV letter. The court granted my MTC Arbitration so now I'm preparing my Demand for Arbitration in JAMS. In the meantime I found a consumer attorney to take my case for TCPA and FCCPA violations which he feels is substantial.
But I'm still court ordered into arbitration. I was going to wage FDCPA, FCCPA and TCPA violation claims against Zwicker and TCPA and FCCPA violations against Discover. Now I don't know what to claim. I don't want to mention the actual debt because I want them to have the burden of counter-claiming that. I want to name Zwicker as a respondent too. So what do I have left to put on my Demand for Arbitration that won't jeopardize my Federal cases?
My attorney says once the Federal case starts looking like a reality they may make a deal on the debt but in the meantime I have buy some time and would like to exert as much leverage as possible in the miniscule hopes they won't follow me into arbitration. Either way I can't ignore the Demand for Arbitration.
