Sept 6, 2005 Update

On September 1, 2005 the court denied US Credit Management’s request that the lawsuit be dismissed and sent to arbitration. The court found that the Client Services Agreement that was signed by all USCM customers is void and unenforceable. Therefore, the Plaintiffs will be allowed to proceed with the case in court.

Now we will begin the process of formally gathering information from USCM (this process is known as “discovery”) to support a request that the court certify this case as a class action. This process will probably take several more months.

Other than the 3 named plaintiffs in the lawsuit, other USCM clients are not a part of this suit and cannot join or otherwise become a part of this suit unless the court certifies the case as a class action.

Additional development will be posted as they occur.
