Comments on: Outrage in Ohio: An Unfair Decision on Arbitration http://arbitrationhorrorstories.com/2009/04/27/outrage-in-ohio-an-unfair-decision-on-arbitration/ Tell us your story...

A good example is disbarred Ohio attorney Scott Spencer who implicated agents of the Bowling Green, Ohio, legal system in the crime of misrepresenting my dismissed case in their court as actually being an admission of guilt in a plea bargain. A dysfunctional judge believed Spencer without reading that the court paperwork was marked dismissed. I also complained about the criminal conduct of Spencer calling and harassing me with lies about my dismissed case and receiving crank calls claiming to be doctors willing to help me with being nuts. The combination of harassment and blackmail made me consider taking my own life as an escape which I mentioned but the jerks ripping off taxpayers with their law degrees only attacked me for wanting to kill myself to escape their abuse of power. I got the last laugh because I tape recorded everything other than in court. Plus dozens of witnesses eventually realized that the lying lawyer hurt everyone who repeated the lies about me being an admitted criminal. Ohio is a state that I hope to escape if I can eventually afford to sell my home and move. However I am not sure where to find less corrupt places to live. This nation is not what I foolishly believed as a kid living around the army or when I joined military intelligence. Politics and greed seem to be the real danger to our nation instead of terrorists.

Read the contract first. Take responsibility for your own decisions, especially regarding large sums of money. Arbitration exists for a reason: the Court system in this country is slow, inefficient, expensive, and capricious. Courts overrule precedent all the time, making business decisions and the allocation of risk impossible. The real problem is that consumers don't take responsibility for their decisions and then run to the government when they fail to "read" a contract or consult an attorney BEFORE signing that contract. It is called buyer beware - the nanny state can't always protect you from your own stupidity. Didn't your parents or school teach you to do your own research before you buy something expensive? Folks, lack of personal responsibility is at the heart of this problem. There is a simple solution: Do not buy a car from that dealer. Read the contract first.

The best thing you can do is try and spread the word. Is there any way you can give us more details about what happened to you? Thanks, Ehren I’m sorry you had a bad experience, Michelle.

Corperate america gets away with cheating the public,breaking EEOC and wage and hours laws through protection an arbitration agreement affords them. When will government agencies that supposedly protect American's rights in this country be able to actually carry out their duties? When arbitraion agreements are made illegal, that's when.Otherwise Corperate america will continue breaking laws,discriminating against their employees and consumers will continue to recieve garbage products that advertise to better their lives when all they've done is rob consumers of hard earned money.Why have the courts decided that the burden should be on the consumer and the employees in this country to hold corperations up to the law? Because the courts are as corrupt as the vultures that perpeuate these crimes. It's shameful that in this great country, land of the home and the free that Corperations are given shields to protect themselves from the laws of this country. I would be happy to sign any petitions you have because I know every name counts. I feel very strongly about thse issues as I find myself in the middle of a Corperate nightmare of a job that consistently willfully breaks many wage and hour laws and FLSA laws and because I can't afford to arbitrate and I am not allowed to bring any claim to the the appropiate government organsation my employer will continue to exploit their position.
