My wife received a letter in the mail saying NAF had awarded a company called NACH LLC
$30,000 (Never Heard of CACH LLC nor the $30K, an amount I think I would remember). She
never received a notice about this arbitration prior to it. It also states in the Case
Summary and Decision that she agreed to the arbitration. She never agreed to any such
thing. I have been reading the case law and I am not sure where to file a response so we
have on record that she disputes the award. The federal law is unclear how to proceed in
this matter. We live in Texas so they cannot garnish my wages, take my house or either
of our trucks. They can make a try at our bank accounts but I want to have something on
record that the award is fraudulent in case they try.

Has anyone received a notice of award and responded to it in some fashion? I know what
to say but do not know who to say it to. It is my understanding that the statutes on the
federal level only allow relief through civil suite. So do I wait until they come to my
home town and file with the county clerk? Can I respond to some official entity to show
proof that we dispute the award and arbitration? Do I just send some certified mailings
to the NAF and CACH LLC?

Any information on who and what to send in response to the award, we were never notified
of the arbitration, would be greatly appreciated.
