The exuberance over the victory over repossession forwarding Godzilla “PAR” appears to have been short lived. As reported in June, “Opie Taylor” aka, George Badeen of Midwest Recovery, Inc., had prevailed over beast “Godzilla” aka, PAR, ARS, etc., in the Michigan Supreme Court who had ruled that the action of forwarding is a collection activity and as such is required to be licensed and regulated by the state.
Even before the ink had dried on this decision, Republican State Senator Rick Jones had introduced a bill making it legal.
