- peter303 11y agoWhen you buy or borrow you've clicked or signed an agreement to arbitrate. Its those long documents of legalese on most websites, credit cards applications, etc. Most have successor owner clauses in there.
- pc86 11y agoIt says in the article that Encore's argument is that they buy not just the debt but also the terms and conditions, including the arbitration requirement.
