Small Claims Credit Card “Blitz” Helps County Backlog

Small Claims Credit Card “Blitz” Helps County Backlog

Hundreds of small claims credit card cases were resolved in county court on Friday when the circuit hosted a Credit Card Case “Blitz”. Three dockets were set simultaneously in three courtrooms on the 14th floor of the Central Courthouse throughout the day, utilizing eight county civil judges and ten mediators. The mediators were on hand to facilitate agreeable payment plans between both parties of a case, thus avoiding the need to return to court for a trial. Of the 500 cases set, only about a dozen need return for trial.
