I was in LA County, Norwalk Courthouse. This time was a Judge I had not seen before, I was a little concerned about that. But it seemed this Judge reviewed the case files before court and was knowledgeable about what was going on. The case heard before me was also a court trial and was dismissed without prejudiced, the judge saw that the Witness listed in the CCP98 was not qualified and made the evidence inadmissible before the Defendant even object to anything. I am going to look up the case tomorrow after work to see what if the updated case summary show what was filed. Just because I am c

Yes I am in So Cal. Why did you see me dancing in the Hallway? I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, big, big relief that it is over.

So I went to court today. Plaintiffs attorney asked me to step out in the hallway before court started and asked me if I was open to settlement and I said no. He they asked if it was because I had an inability to pay and I said no. He then asked why and I told him I am disputing this debt and nothing had been provided to me to prove that the alleged debt was mine. He then asked if I was open for continuance and I said no. They had a year to prepare for this trial same as me. He said he had to call the Plaintiffs Attorneys and he'd see me in court. So I went before the Judge and the attorne

Since I am listed as a witness and will be sworn in at my court trial, what kind of questions do you think they will ask me? and since I am in pro per, can I object?

Yes, that is a case summery from the court online.

So went to observe court again today, 6 court trials for collections, 1st one dismissed because Plaintiff attorney didn't show. Three settled out of court in the hallway before trial and the other 2 were default judgements because the defendant didn't appear. The Plaintiff attorney with 2 settlements told the judge after the last settlement was called, " Whew, I actually had to work today" it was 9:45, court had been in session for 30 min. I looked at the case summaries on line before I went. Three of them had CCP98's filed. the two were settled in the hallway and one was a failure to app

Okay, I have a few questions but I am going to have to wait till later to post. Thanks calaywer for the pm.

No CCP98. Yes they were within the time limit for the answers. (Too bad) and court date is approx. 7 days out. I'm getting a little nervous again, I'm going to try to get time off so I can sit in on another day this week.

So I received the answer to my CCP96 today. They list the witnesses that they intend to call as; 1 Custodian of Records for Razor Capital LLC, c/o Nelson & Kennard 2.

Statements of account (At the time of serving t

First, yes this was the court room assigned to me. I don't know if it will be the same judge. Here is the info from the case that was dismissed right before court; I don't see anything that would cause them to dismissed, but I am not an attorney Histories (Dates listed in descending order) 08/20/2014 CAUSE CALLED AT 08:30A M, IN DEPT.

Okay so I sat in on court this morning. When the Clerks office opened I looked at the board where the courts schedule is posted as per the helpful employees at the information center instructed me, Of the 15 or so cases on the docket only 5 were collections limited civil cases, out of the 5 civil cases, 3 were dismissed in the last week or so. Of the 2 left the Plaintiffs were Capital One Bank and Midland Funding. The Capital One was dismissed without prejudice right before court started. The Midland Funding defendant had an attorney present but did not appear in court, Before court sta

Sorry , over-read. The plaintiff is Razor Capital.

Sorry, I am afraid of over-sharing, when I first got the summons, in my naivete I posted exact information on another forum, and have now become concerned that they will use it against me. I didn't admit to owning the credit account but I did reference it as I remember it being a xxxxx dept store. So now that they have subpoenaed me to be a witness I am freaking out a little. Thanks for all your answers and advice I really do appreciated it.

1. Who is the named plaintiff in the suit? Me 2. What is the name of the law firm handling the suit? (should be listed at the top of the complaint.) Nelson and Kennard 3. How much are you being sued for? <3000 4. Who is the original creditor? (if not the Plaintiff) Razor Capital/GE Bank 5. How do you know you are being sued? (You were served, right?) summons 6. How were you served? (Mail, In person, Notice on door) in person 7. Was the service legal as required by your state? yes 8. What was your correspondence (if any) with the people suing you before you think you were being sued?

Thank you, I plan to attend trial for a couple of days just so I can see how it works and make myself more comfortable with the environment. I have not received a CCP 98 Declaration or Affidavit in Lieu of Testimony. Besides the actual Summons, I have received, 1. Request for Production of Documents, A Request for Admission, and a Form Interrogatories - Limited Civil Cases which I answered. 2. In May I received a Notice of Date, Time and Place of Court Trial on pleading paper that I didn't think to answer, they gave me the trial date when I filed my Summons answer at the Superior Court
