Cavalry SPV I Win on appeal.

  I have been in court with a case in Northern California. I was being sued by Cavalry SPV I, LLC, for a debt they bought from Citibank.

  I received my summons some time around May 10, 2024. Today is March 5, 2026. I lost my case on 11/25/2024 and immediately filed an appeal.

  My opening brief was due on January 22, 2026. The respondents brief was due February 23, 2026. They filed for an extension 3 days after their response was due, on February 26,2026.

  This was their reason for an extension,

  “The Respondent has lost two weeks due to a pre-paid family vacation from January 30 through February 7. Commencing February 9 through February 13 counsel attended a client conference out of state. The above, together with the normal press of business, has precluded me from completing the opposition briefing.

  This is the first and only request for an extension on the briefing schedule. Respondent is unaware of any prejudice which might be suffered by the Appellant if a modest extension is granted as there are no judgment enforcement actions pending or contemplated at Appellant respectfully requests an extension to file its opposition brief through March 10, 2026.”

  On March 3, 2026, I received an email from the legal team for Cavalry SPV I, LLC, stating,

  “Good afternoon Mr. G;

                 Rather than expend resources on attorneys’ fees, my client has authorized me to offer to dismiss its action, with prejudice and provide you with a mutual release of all claims, with each part to bear its own attorneys fees and costs.  If that is agreeable, I will prepare the necessary documentation to bring this matter to conclusion.  Thank you.

  My response to their email was,

  “Mr. Kennard,

  I accept your client's offer to dismiss this action with prejudice and to execute a mutual release of all claims, with each party bearing its own attorney fees and costs.

  In addition to those terms, the settlement agreement must include your client's commitment to remove or cause to be removed this debt from all credit reporting agencies within 30 days of execution.

  Please confirm this term is acceptable and prepare the settlement documents accordingly.

  Best regards,”

  They did not want to go to an appeals case and be put in the spotlight. My whole case revolved around the master purchase and sale agreement, the bill of sale, their affidavit and a few other small things.

  I learned about Parker GPT a little late and was not able to do all the earlier things that Brian recommends but it all still paid off in the end. I wrote my own answer with the help of a friend who practices debt law in NYC. Wasn’t as good as Parker. Thanks Brian. What you offer works wonders. I could not find a lawyer to help anywhere. I tried with the California state bar who gave me a bunch of phone numbers. But it all led to nowhere and I had extinguished all possibilities. Parker GPT was great help and boy did I learn a heck of a lot about the court room and procedure. All the court clerks in the office were amazed at how much I had learned in such a little bit of time. They were joking about how I had just gone through law school. There were times when I would get frustrated with the clerks, because of how I felt they treated me. Not every time, but some of the time. It was discouraging. But I never let it make me treat them differently. And it paid off in the end. They became my best friends.

  I just received a response from Nelson-Kennard, the legal team for Cavalry,

  “Good morning Sir;

                I don’t have immediate authority concerning the credit reporting request, but I’ll chat with my client today.  There may be a bit of a logistical maze to deal with as the appellate division currently has jurisdiction but we’ll figure out how to get this done.  Thanks for getting back to me.  I’ll be back in touch shortly.  Thank you.

  I wish I could have gotten the win in court to set precedence, but in the end, a win is a win.
