Went to court today for my FCRA case against Equifax and sure enough yesterday an attorney representing them filed a Motion of Removal. A full 35 days after service. Reading the Federal law he only had 30 days. He threw one past the Small Claims judge. I called his Admin Asst to ask her why the Judge would grant a motion without a hearing and clearly outside of the Federal parameters for doing such. All I hear is ...um, um, well, um. My question is should I bother fighting and have it pushed back to Small Claims or allow this attorney to hang himself by allowing me all the tools at my disposal in Federal Court? My only objection to Federal is the snail's pace at which it may proceed. Also another interesting story. I had my two cases (Equifax and Experian) dovetailed up today. Some very well dressed but confused woman from Experian show's up at the last minute. Not an attorney but a "Representative". The judge asks us into mediation and we go into a small room outside. The mediator asks us to answer one question. "Can you represent the defendant to accept or reject an offer from the plaintiff"? The gal answers "NO!". The mediator about fell off his chair. "You can't, why are you here?â? "Well Mr. X has no case sir and we don't think he is entitled to anything". The mediator flustered says "Mrs. Smith we are not here to try the case". Well we went back into the courtroom and the Judge visibly irritated asked me how long it would take to try the case. How stupid
