adversarial system vs inquisitorial system

What is the difference: adversarial system and inquisitorial system?

Inquisitorial system= when judge plays an aggressive role, he is almost like a prosecutor, a party

Adversarial system= its all about the fight (two opposite sides), and the judge tries to determine the truth of the case.

OK. Now that I have further info, it's time to get people on board for another Class Action.

Yesterday I received a copy of my so-called "contract". I NEVER SIGNED THIS DOCUMENT! It's strange that when Northern Leasing/Golden Eagle answered my BBB complaint, they used a black marker to scratch out my signature on this copy!

The address of my company is incorrect. A witness did not sign the contract, as stipulated. The name under my signature has been printed in by someone other than myself. I've done a lot of slick printing in my life when composing my own catalogs. This appears to be a combination of "carbon paper" use and tracing. The document they sent was copied in black & white, but showed signs of being a COLOR page because of certain "mass speckles" which appear when copying color pages. And finally, I would NEVER be dumb enough to sign a non-cancelleable contract!

This case has now turned from civil to criminal. I have informed the BBB that I want to put this complaint on hold since it has now turned from civil to criminal. I will being amending my Michigan Attorney General complaint to add these criminal infractions of forgery, fraud and extortion. I have contacted the local county prosecutor.

I was a loyal Golden Eagle customer for 12 years. The terminal is no longer manufactured. It is not PCI Compliant and is not repairable or upgradable. The unit is worthless and deserves absolutely NO BUYOUT! Under new federal laws, it needs to be sent to a federal recycling center. (Has something to do with identity theft.) Therefore, since I don't want get into trouble with the feds, I am holding on to this terminal. Besides, from what I have read here and at Rip-Off Report.com, it seems even when you return these terminals, they will find something wrong with it or find something missing in order to create more fraudulent charges.

I am looking for people who want to jump on board a class action suit, mostly from a CRIMINAL aspect.

I need clients of Northern Leasing (and thier related companies) who:

1) Fulfilled their initial contract of 48, 60 or 72 months. The longer they remained after the initial lease requirement....the better.

2) I need people who never received their paperwork back from the broker's who set up their credit card account.

3) I need people who have had their paperwork forged or paperwork that was never presented to them for signature. (Many have talked about pages two, three and four being added later....)

4) I need to hear from people whose terminals are not PCI Compliant. (You may need to do some research on this.) If Northern Leasing is found to be distributing non-PCI Compliant terminals, this could be a massive federal AND INTERNATIONAL problem for them.

I understand some of you have hardship stories and had to dump out of your initial contract early. However, right now, we need the strongest cases to present to the courts. People who are being abused and extorted after MANY years of being a dedicated customer. (As in my case....TWELVE YEARS!)

Why twelve years? My monthly rate was only $44. It was paying for itself each month. And believe it or not, the terminal was dependable as hell. I never had a break down in those twelve years! (I guess I was lucky....)

Please contact me with your tale of woe (without any spelling or grammatical errors since this looks good in front of a lawyer....) via the information below....

P.S. I already have one person on board. A physician in Kansas City. He returned the terminal in perfect condition and Northern claimed that he didn't return everything. So he continues to be charges by the month.
