We currently represent a client against Portland Oregon Car dealer Cascade Auto Inc. Our client attempted to initiate arbitration against Cascade Auto Inc. under the "Arbitration Agreement" that Cascade forced him to sign. However, Cascade Auto Inc. refused to pay for the arbitration and refused to comply with the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA") rules. As a result, the arbitration case was closed. This allows our client to pursue his matter in Court. This letter is also important to future consumers as AAA specifically noted:
"Further, because the business' failure to remit the foregoing constitutes a failure to adhere to our policies regarding consumer claims, we may decline to administer future consumer arbitrations involving Cascade Auto, Inc. The AAA's consumer policies can be found on the AAA's website, www.adr.org. We request that the business remove the AAA name from its consumer arbitration clause so that there is no confusion to the public regarding our decision."

This letter may affect future consumer's rights and remedies against Cascade Auto Inc.
