Michael P. Forbes Defends Client Against American Express

WAYNE, Pa. - July 15, 2013 - PRLog -- Attorney Michael P. Forbes, a highly regarded attorney who concentrates his practice in debt collector abuse cases, recently scored a major victory against American Express. American Express had no interest in helping his client, but Forbes put an abrupt stop to that. The credit card giant was unwilling to back down from suing Forbes' client for a claimed, overdue balance that its own documents showed was erroneous. Forbes presented a compelling case to an arbitration panel that unanimously agreed with his point of view. Forbes' office was awarded a victory and his client was awarded in excess of $19,000.

The fine print that led up to this decision is consistent with this Wharton School graduate's approach to law: the individual deserves his or her day in court. This is what Forbes told his client, who had been incorrectly pursued by American Express’ collections department for over a year. Despite showing account statement after account statement that clearly proved otherwise in an attempt to avoid extensive litigation, American Express didn’t budge until Forbes brought their blunders to light in a court of law. Predictably, this case is now under appeal.
