Portfolio Recovery Associates and Other Big Business Billionaires Often Destroy Documents
In my case against Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PRA Group, Inc. (stock symbol PRAA), Judge Lee P. Rudofsky, the Eighth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court allowed PRA to designate anything and everything it wanted to as “CONFIDENTIAL” and file under seal.
I cannot say what was in the allegedly top secret documents. But I can tell you what was not in them.
There was no evidence of purchases made by me on a credit card. There was no documentation that linked the specific account with a purchase agreement. There was no credit card agreement. There was no third party documentation of the phone calls made by the debt collector to numbers it associated with me. There was nothing that indicated that I agreed I owed the alleged debt.
Worse, there were not consistent records kept by PRA. The data presented was not consistent between any of the supposedly top secret evidence. In other words, one top secret document says one thing, another says another.
This is unfortunately common business practice. For example, I did business with Advantage Service Holdings, LLC d/b/a Advantage Service Company in Arkansas. Advantage installed a forced air unit in my home. The technician did not give me a written warranty. The unit failed quickly. Then Advantage and the manufacturer, Goodman, claimed the “limited warranty” excused them from any technical difficulties.
Neither Advantage, Goodman or the resale outlet gave me a limited warranty, even though I asked the installer for one. Instead, the technician wrote “warranty” on the invoice, with the number of years for compressor, parts, labor and service. In Arkansas State Court, I entered a copy of my invoice as exhibit 2.
I also entered a copy of the invoice Advantage altered. They added a checklist that represented that the technician gave me the “docs”. Scroll down to page 7. Compare to the original invoice above.
The judge on that case dismissed without allowing for a jury trial. It shocks the conscience that so many judges rubberstamp motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment in favor of Big Business Billionaires like Goodman Manufacturing and Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, while staring at the face of obvious alterations of documentation.
We need A New America For the People.*
*My son Buddy Lynn had a tragic life, destroyed by corrupt judges and their cronies. The week before his death, he started a TikTok channel called “New America for the People”. I am dedicating my work for justice for the common person to Buddy Lynn. You can see my YouTube channel renamed in honor of Buddy here.
Dueling (Proposed) Orders: Will Judge Susan Weaver Demand Consumer Abide By A Non-Consensual Contract of Adhesion?
First American Home Warranty sold me a policy, paid through escrow, without ever letting me review the contract. When the contract came in the mail, it was too late to switch to another company. The forced air unit in the house I bought failed within days of moving in.
The two companies First American referred me to for my repair or replacement both show on the Arkansas Secretary of State website as status “revoked”.
The work was not completed by First American’s choices, and eventually I paid for the replacement of the unit myself.
Then I had the misfortune of Judge Susan Weaver presiding over the case I filed.
Judge Weaver acted like she has never heard of the elements of a contract, meeting of the minds, or rescission. She ordered me to use binding arbitration, because there was an arbitration clause in the contract that I did not consent to but attached to my complaint as an exhibit. If I had not attached the disturbing contract, it is likely Judge Weaver would dismiss my case for violation of the rule that requires attachment, Ark. R. Civ. Pro. 10(d).
“Required Exhibits. A copy of any written instrument or document upon which a claim or defense is based shall be attached as an exhibit to the pleading in which such claim or defense is averred unless good cause is shown for its absence in such pleading.” Rule 10 – Form of Pleadings, Ark. R. Civ. P. 10
As per the analysis of this language by ChatGPT: “Yes, even if you did not consent to the contract, Rule 10(d) of the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure still generally requires that a copy of the disputed contract be attached to the complaint if the claim is based on it. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that all parties and the court have access to the document at issue.
“However, your lack of consent to the contract could be a key argument in your case. If you are disputing the validity of the contract—for example, arguing that you never agreed to it, that it was fraudulent, or that it is otherwise unenforceable—you would still need to reference and challenge the contract within your pleadings. Attaching the contract does not concede its validity; rather, it allows the court to evaluate your objections to it.
“If you are the plaintiff challenging the contract’s validity, you may still need to attach it to show what you are disputing. If you are the defendant responding to a claim based on the contract, you are not required to attach it, but you can argue against its enforceability.”
I filed a motion to continue the case on the docket until the propriety of recusal of Judge Weaver is determined by a higher court. Alternatively, I am willing to use arbitration if it is non-binding and is not pursuant to the contractual limitations.
Here is my motion:
Here is the exhibit to the motion:
Here are the orders proposed by First American Home Warranty’s attorney and by me.
FREE Doc of the Day
Do you think consumers should be forced to adhere to contracts of adhesion that are not provided for the consumer’s review before paying for a home warranty? Judge Susan Weaver apparently does.
Write, Don’t Ruminate: Musings About the Motives of Corrupt Judges
I should be asleep.
Instead, I am wondering what makes Judge Susan K. Weaver in Arkansas make decisions that appear both irrational and cruel.
She probably didn’t wake up one morning and think, “It will be fun to take a sixty-year-old woman’s retirement away from her.”
But what happens when old connections come calling, reminding her of past favors, shared history, or mutual interests? In small legal circles, old friendships, old debts, and old ambitions tend to resurface at just the right time. Maybe it wasn’t a direct call from an old friend—maybe it was a favor for a friend of a friend, the kind of unspoken arrangement that keeps the system running smoothly.
And why would a court reporter, Jana Perry, risk her reputation and possible criminal charges by falsifying transcriptions of hearings, like she did on the Pietrczak case? Court reporters hold an extraordinary power—recording, preserving, and, at times, shaping history. When a transcript deviates from reality, one has to wonder: was it a mistake, or was there a reason for the alteration? It’s curious, to say the least, that Jana Perry’s name intersects with legal controversies involving Judge Weaver. Coincidence? Maybe. But in the world of law, coincidences are often just patterns we haven’t fully unraveled yet.
Most people don’t think they’re evil. Even the worst villains rationalize their choices. Corruption isn’t always about greed or malice—it’s often about convenience. It’s easier to go along with the system than to stand against it. It’s easier to help a friend than to do what’s right. And once that first compromise is made, the next one comes easier.
Until one day, you wake up and find yourself as Judge Susan Weaver.
So maybe that’s how it happens. It’s not one big choice, but a series of small ones. A favor here, a shortcut there. A whisper instead of a wager. And before long, you’re not just playing the game—you own the game.
And people like Judge Susan Weaver get to keep playing, while the rest of us pay the price.
Should I Sue the Clerk of the United States Supreme Court?
Love Advocate Lucinda!
Here is the comment I left on her YouTube channel:
Thank you. I have brought 1983 cases against clerks and court reporters. They all end in the “trash can” so to speak. My latest issue is with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States. The clerk did not post a copy (link) of a 10-page motion to file sealed documents and immediately unseal them. The motion was docketed as a motion to seal only. The docket said, “Motion Granted”. I posted the sealed documents on my blog. 11 days later, the opposing party asked to “take down” my blog and sanction me and order me to pay their attorney fees. I had to write and paper file my response on Christmas week. The District Court Judge said he read my blog and recused himself. The fresh judge only took my blog down for about a week and there were no other sanctions or attorney fees. It seems like the judge reading my blog without notifying me first and giving me an opportunity to object is evidence of embroilment in the case. Judge Lee P. Rudofsky said reading my blog was the cause of his recusal not evidence that I was right about his bias against pro se litigants. SCOTUS is discussing my petition for writ of certiorari, 24-6113 and hopefully will address the docket issues with motion 24M44 also, tomorrow, February 21, 2025. Hopefully I will not need to sue the Clerk of the Supreme Court.
What to Watch for When Portfolio Recovery Associates Forces You to Litigate
A viewer on my YouTube channel, @LauraLynnHammett, said he was getting sued by Portfolio Recovery Associates and didn’t know what to do yet.
Here is my reply:
Look at my blog www.court-corruption.com. There are many stories about the CFPB orders against Portfolio Recovery Associates and free downloadable documents.
The key is that they win by default 90% of the time. Show up to court. Respond timely to their complaint. If you are allowed discovery, ask them to produce old account level documentation from the time your account was at zero until the present balance. Inspect their affidavits to determine if the person who is swearing has actual first-hand knowledge about whatever they are testifying about. Ask for a copy of the original credit contract. They could not produce a contract in my case and Judge Lee P. Rudofsky gave them a pass, but I hope the US Supreme Court looks at my case and overrules Judge Rudofsky and the Eighth. I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. I am sharing my own experience, and I did score a 162 on the LSAT, a low ivy league score, so I am confident I understand what I read and have good reasoning.
Will the Supreme Court Grant Petition for Writ of Cert to this Pro Se Plaintiff?
This petition gets discussed on February 21, 2025.
Over a decade ago, I petitioned the Supreme Court for writ of cert to discuss the inhumane custody orders that destroyed my children’s childhoods. My plea fell on deaf ears.
The reason I even bother to incur the expense in time and money to ask to be the rare pro se litigant to be heard is because it is a requirement in the process of reaching the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner.
My earlier petitions were denied by SCOTUS, but years later the U.N. asked people to write letters about injustice against abused women and children in the “family courts”. (I am an outspoken advocate of equal time co-parenting and hate when women like Crystal Lynn Strelioff cry wolf, as it makes it easier for bad judges to allow for actual abuse.)
Here is the letter I wrote. I will add that my younger son’s life ended three weeks ago. The autopsy is not complete, but it appeared Buddy did not intend to die from the use of a housemate’s prescription drugs. My husband consoles me by saying Buddy finally has peace.
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָד
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
This is the English translation of one of the most honored prayers taken directly from the Bible. (Deuteronomy 6:4)
The line that follows:
You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
Jesus confirmed that this law is meant for all humanity.
The King James Version (KJV) of Mark 12:29-30 reads:
Mark 12:29
“And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:”
Mark 12:30
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”
My beloved son died. He was 30 years old. His life was tragic.
Dishonorable judges, most who identified as Christian or Jews, failed to hear. Meetings in court where people speak to the judge are called “hearings”. Hearing is more than having vibrations or sounds deciphered by one’s brain.
Hearing is with a heart and a mind, not just ears.
I filed for divorce against my son’s father, Tim Lynn. During our time together, Tim and I often argued about the courts. Tim said judges were tyrants who could order anything they wanted. I naively insisted that there were checks against misconduct, the appellate courts up to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Tim was apparently right.
Especially in the “family law” courts, the wild west of the legal system, judges are allowed to trample on the important right to a familial relationship.
My son was denied a relationship with his mother, me, from the time he was 13 until he was 18. There was no reason given. There was no reason. It’s in the best interest of the child, said minor’s counsel Ken Sherman of Carlson, De Klerk, Sherman and Rale and then E. Scott Clark. Because I said so, said Commissioner Alan Friedenthal.
I never abused drugs. I rarely used prescription drugs. I am a faithful Christian. I am well educated, have taken great care of my body and led others to practice healthful habits. I have no criminal record. Yet, Buddy and I were denied any contact for five years.
When we were reunited, Buddy had been using cannabis the entire time, basically. He was an alcoholic. He was taken out of high-school early and was not in college. His brilliant mind was wasted.
My sons told me about their treatment by their paternal family. Their cousins were abducted by their aunt, Crystal Lynn Strelioff, and hidden. There were threats of chopping my sons’ bodies up and distributing the parts in the hills of Castaic if they discussed their cousins.
My older son, who recovered from his drug abuse problem, was left to care for Buddy while their father stayed out late at night.
There were reports of physical abuse by Tim. One was prosecuted, but it took so long for my older son and I to convince law enforcement to take action, that the key witnesses could not be found. Tim was found not guilty.
When Buddy was 15 or 16 he met a sweet girl who lived in Beverly Hills. Each weekend, he would take three buses from Castaic to Beverly Hills and stay with his girlfriend and her mother. The mother, an heiress and drug addict, smoked weed with the kids. She was probably better than Tim and his girlfriends, but not mother of the year.
Buddy’s forced separation from me was not in his best interest.
Are you a victim of an abusive judge? Have you been stripped of your rights by the very ones who are paid (handsomely) to protect them? What can you do to try to turn things around?
Hopefully you find some words of wisdom in this blog. You are invited to share your story with me at bohemian_books@yahoo.com. If you have court documents you want to share with the world, send files to me and I may post them.
Remember that there are things you cannot change. And things you can.
You cannot make corrupt judges do the right thing. You can publicize their bad conduct. You can keep knocking.
You can be kind, loving and fierce.
Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
If you are a judge, remember Buddy.
Did Judge Susan Weaver Contribute to the Tragic Death of a 30-year-old man, Buddy Lynn? She doesn’t give a sh*t.
Susan Weaver transferred property and wrote that she would do whatever was necessary for the county recorder to carry out her order, before there was a final order in the case of Pietrczak v. Laura Lynn.
She gave the property to a man who used to get high with my son, the deceased, when he was 18.
Other corrupt judicial officers had cut off all communication between me and my son from the time he was 13 until his 18th birthday.
My ex-boyfriend, Mike Pietrczak, was sober for our first year together. I should have dumped his ass when he lost his sobriety, but I took our commitment to be “married in the eyes of God” seriously. Both Pietrczak and my son continued to abuse substances until Pietrczak lost the use of his limbs and my son lost his life. (Pietrczak might still be abusing, but you the taxpayers are paying millions for his prescription drugs and other care for the rest of his miserable life. If he was sober, he would probably abide by the agreement we had to split the property we used my capital and my labor to accumulate.)
I will always wonder if my son would have regained sobriety if he spent time at the property I called PTSD for Peace Tranquility Serenity Divinity that was taken out of the Rural Revival Living Trust.
Susan Weaver knew Mike Pietrczak and his Attorney William Zac White were committing fraud on the court when she transferred the property. Her motivation for making bad calls is the evidence that she hates truth and justice.
If there are “ghosts”, I hope Buddy’s haunts Judge Susan Weaver forever.
Introducing “A Rudofsky”: The Art of Judicial Gymnastics
He is a textualist—when it suits the narrative he wants to create. But when the text stands in his way? He is a Rudofsky.
He truncated a subordinate clause to distort the meaning of a sentence. He was a Rudofsky.
He ordered documents to be sealed, then misrepresented what they contained. He was a Rudofsky.
The term “Rudofskyist” might soon find its place in the legal lexicon, expanding beyond the conduct of Judge Lee P. Rudofsky himself. If we take a descriptivist approach, it can encompass any stupid attorney trick—any legal sleight of hand designed to mislead, conceal, or manipulate under the guise of procedural neutrality.
It’s not just about one judge. It’s about an entire mindset—one that bends the law to fit an agenda, rather than letting the law dictate the outcome. And when the law doesn’t cooperate? A Rudofsky will make sure the record says something else.
