I canNOT make this stuff up. It only happens in real life. And always, it seems, to me. Ohhh-kayyy, as some of you know (check down the page), I filed a class action lawsuit here in NC alleging that Riddle & Associates, P.C. of Draper, Utah and their sole shareholder Jesse L. Riddle Esq. were trying to collect debt for Camco that as far as I and my clients can tell, just doesn't exist. Jesse personally threatened me with a defamation lawsuit in Utah, and I told him he had no cause of action against me because I hadn't defamed him, just told people what I was going to sue him for, and then sued him. Monday, I found out sure enough he sued me and my two innocent clients in Utah federal court for defamation. I said I'd read the complaint and it was "not one for the ages." Hoo boy, was I wrong, but not the way I thought I was. One of the "defamations" he sued me for was from this very board. The day before I filed, his sidekick David Wood called me to see what was going on. I told him. And what he told me, I put in my lawsuit draft, and posted here on 11 March (the original is at http://www.cardreport.com/wwwboard53/messages/40536.html). "41. Since R&A and Camco appear to have an attorney-client relationship, the undersigned cannot contact Camco, but did leave phone messages with R&A directing them to leave his clients alone and indicating that suit was imminent.
42. On 11 March 2004, Mr. Wood called the undersigned but did not offer to settle or negotiate, and the undersigned explained how the Defendants’ actions violated North Carolina law, as set forth above, and that Mr. Wood would be held responsible for his part in the matter.
43. By way of reply, Mr. Wood shouted at the undersigned (in pertinent part and edited for profanity): “You haven’t investigated this case well. You’re full of [feces]! I’ll haul your [rear end] into a Utah court!”
44. The Plaintiffs have ample documentary evidence for all claims for relief pleaded herein and will testify under oath as to the Defendants’ misdeeds, so no conceivable cause of action lies against the undersigned, in Utah or elsewhere.
45. Mr. Wood went on to claim that Mr. Riddle had been sued a number of times and always prevailed and been awarded attorney fees, although when the undersigned asked just how many times this had happened and what total fees Mr. Riddle had won, Mr. Wood did not supply those figures.
46. Presumably to foreclose settlement, Mr. Wood challenged the undersigned to “bring it on” and hung up.
47. Whereupon, the Plaintiffs now do so." Jesse referred to this incident in his lawsuit but I didn't really read it carefully to see why in the world he did, because to normal people it makes him look bad. But, I forgot I was dealing with Jesse, who thinks HE's the victim when people sue him for breaking debt collection law. Today, I was researching this case in the law library at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and in the process of carefully reviewing the complaint so I could move to dismiss it, I reread that part closely--and, well, remember that R&A stands for Riddle & Associates, and draw your own conclusions: "66. On March 11, 2004 at 2:53 pm (MST) Defendant Avenger returned Mr. Woods [sic] phone call. During this call Defendant Avenger riterated the information that he left in his voice mail, and attempted to argue that "R&A has no compliance" and that R&A "are frauds and are committing crimes." Realizing that Defendant Avenger did not call to discuss the matter or negotiate but was only in the mood to argue, Mr. Wood terminated the call by telling Defendant Avenger that he was "full of shit." 67. R&A stands by the opinion expressed by Mr. Wood, and have taken this action, and will take additional actions to expose Mr. Avenger as a fraud." I suppose at the UNC law library they're still wondering just why that handsome young man intently studying papers suddenly slumped over the desk, convulsing with laughter, and stayed that way for about half an hour. Maybe these guys missed that day in law school ethics class where they told us not to say "shit" in federal court? I'm sure the judge will be equally amused.
