Cue to Mediation

"Well Mr Megos, we are here about your CC debt for 372 blah blah."

"Ok"

"And we would like to know what you are going to do about it"

"I want it all dismissed as its well passed the SoL"

"No it isnt"

"It is"

"Its based on your last payment"

"I know, which was..."

"The SoL is 7 years"

"Nope, its 4."

"We have lawyers that look into this"

"I think you have lawyers betting on that I dont know my ground or that I won't show up" (because companies never ever sue in that fashion ::roll:: and I would never check on my own legal position)

Mediator chimes in "Mr Megos, would you like to call your lawyer and just double check?"

"Nope" (My ducks were all lined up yesterday nice and neat, I'm not budging)

"Well if he's said he wants a dismissal and we aren't open to that" (cue angry, trying-to-intimidate-the-Megos scary woman face now) "And we will be tacking on lawyer fees.

"Knock yourself out" (smile)


So I guess they will be processing the papers and such this week, and I'm suppose to get a court date in the mail shortly, the trial being set forth in a few months. I'm wondering if their lawyers will say "Doh SoL!" and just drop it so we dont waste our time. Either that, or they will be like "WTF SoL?" and go running to the books and realize the 7 yr period she mentioned is for reporting, not collecting. I suppose they could still hope that I'll not show up and try a Hail Mary, but perhaps me showing up today will disuade them from that course of action.
