Set For Arbitration


What is the name of your state? OR

I recently filed an answer to a summons. Now I received
a letter from the court saying it's going to arbitrtion. Frankly
all I want to do is drag this out as long as possible. I'm expecting
some money in the next few months, then I will negotiate with
the creditor and pay them a portion of the amount owed in
one lump sum. I don't want them to get a judgement before
I get the money to negotiate.

What should I say at the arbitration how can I drag this out as long as possible?

Thanks

Ask for a continuance of the arbitration proceeding.

Contact the court clerk and ask about the procedure.

**A: a court clerk is not involved in the rules of arbitration procedure. Arbitration is a form of ADR not litigation.
