Attach Your Card Agreement

Your motion relies on the arbitration clause in your cardholder agreement. You don't need to find or quote the clause yourself — attach the agreement as Exhibit A and the motion references it directly.

Who Is The Card Issuer? (the bank on your statement — not the store name, unless it's a Comenity/Synchrony store card)

Search Your Card / Product Name

e.g. "Amazon", "Platinum", "Secured", "Rewards"

Quote The Arbitration Clause (optional — not required to file)

Your Motion is Ready!

Your Motion to Compel Arbitration has downloaded as a single PDF.

WHAT'S IN YOUR PDF (3 parts):

The Motion — this is what you file with the court and serve on the plaintiff.

A [Proposed] Order — this is normal. It's a draft order for the judge to sign IF they grant your motion. You file it along with the motion; you do not sign it — the judge does.

An Instructions page — for you only. Do NOT file this page; remove it before filing.

BEFORE YOU FILE:

Attach your card agreement (matched above, or your own copy) as Exhibit A — you do NOT need to quote the clause yourself, the motion references the attached agreement directly

Any highlighted yellow field in the PDF still needs your review — do not file with a highlighted field left unresolved

Remove the Instructions page before filing

Make copies (one for the court, one for the plaintiff's attorney, one for yourself)

Check your local court's filing and formatting rules

File before responding to the merits of the lawsuit — raising arbitration late can waive it
