My name is nowhere on the account they are suing over! My 2nd (continued) pre-trial is scheduled for the end of Feb. I am pro se and I want to have it dismissed without going to trial if there is any way possible. I cannot believe there is no way to do so when he can provide NOTHING with my name on it. I don't believe they could get this far with it! Guess I am naive. I have answered the forum's suggested questions below. I have been researching many threads (esp FSUgirl07 since she is also in FL dealing with a JDB), but I haven't run into any where they actually have the wrong name. Hope you all are willing to help me out - your responses have been amazing. Thx. If you are inquiring about a lawsuit in which you are the defendant (ie you are being sued), you need to answer the following questions (as much as possible): 1. Who is the named plaintiff in the suit? CAM1 LLC dba CAM1 LLC of Georgia 2. What is the name of the law firm handling the suit? (should be listed at the top of the complaint.) Law Offices of Andreu, Palma & Andreu,PL of Miami, FL 3. How much are you being sued for? about $4800.00 plus int. and atty fees 4. Who is the original creditor?

What was your correspondence (if any) with the people suing you before you think you were being sued? None 9. What state and county do you live in? Pinellas County Florida 10. When is the last time you paid on this account? (looking to establish if you are outside of the statute of limitations) Never 11. What is the SOL on the debt? 5 years 12. What is the status of your case? Suit served? Motions filed? You can find this by a) calling the court or looking it up online (many states have this information posted - when you find the online court site, search by case number or your name). Attended pre-trial conference as per summons. Explained it was not my card. Showed atty statements with the account number he identified in my (adult) daughter's name. 13. Have you disputed the debt with the credit bureaus (both the original creditor and the collection agency?) Disputed with OC through a letter from my attorney in which he told them to cease and disist ,disputed with one credit bureau verbally. 14. Did you request debt validation before the suit was filed? Note: if you haven't sent a debt validation request, don't bother doing this now - it's too late. NO 15. How long do you have to respond to the suit? (This should be in your paperwork). If you don't respond to the lawsuit notice you will lose automatically. In 99% of the cases, they will require you to answer the summons, and each point they are claiming. We need to know what the "charges" are. Please post what they are claiming. Did you receive an interrogatory (questionnaire) regarding the lawsuit? i attended the pre-trial as per the summons. No written answer is required in FL. First cause of Action: Account Stated. 2nd cause of action - Unjust Enrichment. I told court officer it was not my cc. She asked if I wanted to see the judge, I agreed. Attny & I went before the judge. I told her it was not my card. I showed her my copy of dispute to US Bank as well as their response which included cc statements from 3/10/06 to 3/10/10 - ALL addressed to my daughter (same last name at the time). Judge noticed the lack of account number. Judge directed attny to send me copy of cc application with my signature and copies of statements with my name on them within 30 days. I have not received them - he has untl 2/6. But the atty sent me notice and copies of 2 Bills of Sale and Assignment of Assets referring to each of the assets identified in a list as Exhibit A. Of course, the list was not attached to my notice. (He also sent me requests for Production, Admissions and Interrogatories. I have been writing an objection to his requests for discovery because I am pro se and he is not allowed to initiate discovery without permission of the court, unless I have already done so. I have a second (continued) pre-trial end of February. 16. What evidence did they send with the summons? An affidavit? Statements from the OC? Contract? List anything else they attached as exhibits. No evidence sent with summons. There was not even an account number on the paperwork, but I knew which account they were referring to from prior collection attempts from a number of different collection companies. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - I FIND IT ASTOUNDING
