When it’s time to sue
There are three primary processes for resolving disputes: negotiation, mediation and adjudication (arbitration and litigation). The first two—as well as arbitration—make up ADR, the acronym for alternative dispute resolution and are touted as being faster, cheaper and better than traditional adversarial litigation.

I have a close friend who, smart though he is, isn’t particularly good with his money. Years ago he got into trouble with credit card debt. Perhaps you’ve heard of similar situations: he had about four credit cards and began using one credit card to pay the balance on another. He would rotate his payments in this fashion, switching from one card to the next as they became due.
