Greetings all! Here is my new case - yay me! I've been doing research on the difference between a verified and non-verified complaint and if I understand things correctly, in California I am allowed to answer using the General Denial because the Complaint is from the actual creditor and it is under $25k. Please let me know if I have misunderstood things or if anything I do needs to be different because it is a verified complaint. Also from what I could dig up online, there is an arbitration clause electing AAA - with wording about Barclay covering the fees. Besides sending out the BOP and filing the Answer/POS, what suggestions do you all have on moving forward with this case? Anyone out there who has dealt with this lawfirm before? My other case is a JDB so this seems a bit more scary! Thanks in advance all! Who is the named plaintiff in the suit? Barclays Bank Delaware What is the name of the law firm handling the suit? Nelson & Kennard - Sacramento How much are you being sued for? Under $10k Who is the original creditor? Barclays Bank Delaware How do you know you are being sued? Served How were you served?
