Court ordered Mediation vs Court Trial
Hello again,
I'm going into a mediation next month concerning a past credit card debt that I am being sued for. I plan on using the SOL defense as the date of last activity falls past the statute date. Anyhow, I was wondering what the difference between a Court ordered mediation and a normal court trial is? I talked with someone at the county courthouse (Tampa FL) and they informed me that a trial involves a Judge and a mediation involves a Certified Mediator. I was wondering if this makes a difference since I will be representing myself? Thank you for your response.
