One of my credit card debts was sent to the National Arbitration Forum. I replied to the notice from NAF and to the lawyer that I am currently in a debt settlement program, have been in for over a year and am currently trying to pay off my debts without having to declare bankruptcy.
Now I have received a letter from NAF that the claimant (Chase) has requested that the matter be dismissed.
What does this usually mean? I know that the NAF will no longer handle this matter. So, does this mean that Chase will now sue me in court? Should I consult a lawyer? I live in MD.
Thanks for any insight.

I have no idea why they are asking that the arbitration be dismissed, but presumably it is so that they can pursue a collection action for the debt. The reasons for their request are presumably outlined in the letter you received.
