I got served papers saying that I'm being sued by Midland Credit in Chatham County. I already filed the response under "DENY". The law firm is Cooling & Winter. It was from an old credit card bill from Synchrony Bank and they say I owe a little over five grand. My court date has been set and I want to do an MTC but I don't know the first thing about how to construct one. Are there any resources? I'm not even sure what to say or the correct format. Also, do I need to file this ahead of time? Send a copy to the lawyers office beforehand? Or is it best to just wait and let it play out in court? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, They called us all into one courtroom with a judge. She read through ALL the cases and they where dispersed to various other courtrooms. Mine was 4B. I met with the para legal in the hallway. I showed her my answer and requested to see their Bill of Sale. etc. She went over to the attorney, he handed her my file. She came back and said "this is what we have" and it was all the documents they'd sent me previously. I re-iterated what I was requesting. She stated they didn't have it, I stated I wanted a trial. We all go into the courtroom. Everyone made a deal for payments. People who didn't have any money etc had their cases dismissed- but with the verified plan to re-file in a couple months. I was the last person called- as the only "request for trial". I went before the judge. Attorney stated "Defendant is requesting documents that we are not in possession of, therefore we will be dismissing this case" Judge says "GOOD JOB young lady!!!". He went on to state that "the case will be dismissed, but if they obtain all the documents you requested, they will be able to re-file if they should choose to". I asked him to dismiss with prejudice. He said because the case is lacking evidence that CAN be obtained, he can't rule that way. He asked what I do, I said "I'm a social worker". Judge says "well you should be a lawyer! You did a great job!". Then CASE DISMISSED. Attorney spoke with me in the hallway and stated that he is recommending to Midland that they drop this case and will pursue no further legal action against me. Hope this is true! I didn't even need the Trial Brief I'd prepared or any of the documents, case law, legal statutes. Once they saw what I wanted, they went away. WHOOOOO HOOOOOO this trial has been stressing me out for months. Now it's over. Let's hope he keeps his word re: no further legal action against me My original thread pleading for help....http://www.creditinfocenter.com/community/topic/323664-please-help-served-by-midland/ I could NOT have done this without all the info and comments available on here. Thank you so much! Edit: if there's anything I can do to help any one else (especially ppl from Rhode Island) pls feel free to PM me. I prepared soooo many legal docs, but didn't have to use them. And I found so many samples on here- but made them my own with R.I. Case law, Civil Procedure Rules, Evidence Rules and legal citations etc. I am proof- you just have to do the research and it will pay off.

I have received a summons with complaint from Daniel N. Gordon on behalf of plaintiff Midland Funding, LLC. Both the plaintiff and defendant reside in Oregon. I sent my answer certified mail and denied ever owning said credit card or legal contract with Chase Band or Midland Funding, LLC. On July 17th they sent me a letter stating, “Enclosed please find the document per your request for validation of your debt with or law office”. Included was CC statements and chain of title, also some field data from Midland Credit containing the acct. number, name, last 4 digits of SS#, address home phone # and account info. I have been advised by the court that the case has been moved to arbitration. I have as of yet picked an arbitrator. Daniel N. Gordon has sent me a production of documents and a request for admission, 26 in all, WOW. Any help in answering these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Just me
