I've been dealing with Johnson Mark for almost a year now. They requested 6 years worth of bank records in discovery, I stated that it was overly burdensome and not related to the case. We went to pre trial where I told them if I could find the information that I would provide it but couldn't make any guarantees. In May 2013 I received a request for sanctions stating that I did not comply with a court order to send the bank records. I replied stating that I never received any court order, motion to compel or any word at all from them in over 5 months. I then received a letter from them rescinding their request for sanctions. As of yesterday I have received another request for sanctions because I haven't given them the bank records. Can they do this???? I never saw a motion to compel, never had the chance to dispute the motion and the court just stamped a order for me to provide documentation!!! If I provide the information will it destroy my case? I have been fighting the case based on the fact that the plaintiff has not provided me with any proof they own this "debt" and have only provided me with copies of an electronic statement with transactions and my name/address. I sent them a discovery request for proof of ownership and they came back stating that I didn't submit my request correctly so they didn't have to answer me. As far as I can tell I did submit it correctly. If they had the proof they needed wouldn't they have just requested a trial and been done with it? Thanks for any help someone can provide!!!
