What is the
American
Arbitration Association?
This is player two in the ever expanding
arbitration field. They refer to
their flavor as "Alternative Dispute
Resolution" and offer an online
University to obtain training, courses,
updates and so on.
Their website is

Not the choice of many debt collectors, but
we believe
MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT, Midland Funding,
MRC Receivables, ENCORE Capital Group, San
Diego, CA
are using
American Arbitration Association to take on
consumers.

From
Wikipedia
The American Arbitration
Association (AAA) is a
private
enterprise in
the
business of arbitration,
and one of several arbitration
organizations
that administers arbitration
proceedings. The AAA also
administers mediation and other
forms of alternative dispute
resolution. The International
Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR),
established in 1996, administers
international arbitration
proceedings initiated under the
institution's rules. ICDR
currently (as of 2007) has
offices in New York City,
Dublin, and Mexico City, and is
scheduled to open an office in
Singapore.
Many contracts include an
arbitration clause naming the
AAA as the organization that
will administer an arbitration
between the parties. The AAA
does not itself arbitrate
disputes, but provides
administrative support to
arbitrations before a single
arbitrator or a panel of three
arbitrators. The arbitrators are
chosen in accordance with the
parties' agreement or, if the
parties do not agree otherwise,
in accordance with the AAA
rules. Under its rules, the AAA
may appoint an arbitrator in
some circumstances, for example,
where the parties cannot agree
on an arbitrator or a party
fails to exercise its right to
appoint an arbitrator.

Someone has to ask:
Does the AAA use a
different set of rules
than the NAF?
Whatever happened
to the RULE OF LAW? |

A
business, by definition
establishes a client and a
provider.
The American Arbitration
Association (AAA) is a
private
enterprise in the business of
arbitration...
Who gets paid for performing a
service to the satisfaction of
the client?
