Brief description of my case. LVNV Plaintiff untimely affidavit and no autheticated docs. Plaintiff just lost their MSJ on 3/20/2013 ! This case is in Michigan. I have not filed a counterclaim. And was wondering if it is too late to and should I ? People have told me that Plaintiff will most likely dismiss before trial 4/15/2013. PLAINTIFF has violated some Fair credit reporting. SOL, reporting more on CR than suing me for, also statement on CR that the amount was more than they are reporting, but still amount they are reporting is more than they are suing me for. Also, suing me for debt they cannot prove I owe. However, I did NOT serve interogs, POD's to the Plaintiff via discovery. Pretty much answered what they threw at me in their interogs, POD's. Any opinions would be appreciated. Any links would be appreciated as well.
