Hi all, I really wish I had come across this site sooner than my deadline (tomorrow) to respond to the interrogatories, production, and admissions because I would have been able to sift through more responses here. Would anyone be willing to review what I have answered (many from this site, thanks!) and help with some answers that I have left out? I lost some steam and ideas to respond with around #8. I've "beat" the rent a lawyer from this office once in small claims and had a case dismissed but this one is large enough to be in Civil Court and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot so to speak.

Short Summary: 1 - Plaintiff: Citibank, South Dakota (N.A.) 2 - Plaintiff's Attorney: The Moore Law Group 3 - State: California 4 - Limited civil case - sued for in the neighborhood of $17K 5 - The debt is not past statute of limitations 6 - Served by substituted service 7 - Complaint answered (Complaint was unverified) 8 - Long period of inactivity on both sides 9 - No discovery propounded on either side 10 - Plaintiff filed CMC Statement 12 - Trial got set 13 - Defendant (me) sent a CCP96 request and a request for BOP 14 - Plaintiff sent response to BOP and a response to CCP96 statement and the CCP98 declaration in lieu 15 - Defendant sent a certified letter stating that Plaintiff got their case # wrong on their CCP96 response. Also, Defendant objected in that same letter that the Plaintiff used Plaintiff's counsel PO Box for the witnesses' address on their CCP96 response (out of compliance) 16 - Plaintiff corrected their CCP 96 response and send the amended version. with the fixed case # and now the actual address for the potential witnesses instead of the PO Box (mind you, the new address is still the Plaintiff Lawyer's address, and they did not ask me for a stipulation to amend their CCP 96 response) 17 - Defendant filed an objection to Plaintiff's Declaration in Lieu with Court and had a copy served on Plaintiff 18 - Defendant then did some more research on this forum and found MIL is a better way to attack a declaration, so he created a MIL to preclude the admission of their Declaration in Lieu, and refashioned his objection so that it could be an objection in support of my MIL. This was served on the Plaintiff's Counsel. And today, I get a surprise from the Plaintiff's counsel in the mail in the form of: "Notice to Appear At And Attend Trial And Produce Documents (CCP Section 1987)" "Request For Statement of Witnesses and Evidence (CCP96, DISC-015 form)" Right off the bat, I can tell their CCP96 request is untimely. It has a postmark of Aug 22nd, 2013, and I've received it on August 24th, 2013. The trial is on September 13th, which basically means they're giving me less than 30 days (21 days only) to respond. Now, do I just ignore their CCP 96 as untimely and object at trial, do I send them a letter saying they are untimely or do I serve an objection on them, saying they're untimely? As far as the notice to appear goes, I am unsure how to handle their production of documents request. Shouldn't have they asked for all my CC statements (and they're asking for years and years of them) in the request for production of documents during discovery? Discovery is closed now. Are they trying to find a back door to do the discovery? Can I object on the grounds that they have missed their Discovery window and now have no right to ask for the documents? Furthermore, they have not included any of the CC statements they're asking from me on their CCP 96. Do I still have to bring any docs with me (if I have any) and then object to the judge that these are inadmissible as evidence since they're not listed on Plaintiff's CCP 96 response?. Or can I just say that their request for production of documents under CCP 1987 is oppressive, burdensome, Plaintiff is on a fishing expedition, burden of Proof is on Plaintiff, etc.? Also, the way I understand it, the deadline for requesting documents under CCP1987 is 25 days before trial (since they served me by mail, 5 days added), and I have received it only 21 days before the trial Should I just object to their CCP1987 as being untimely? Any help is greatly appreciated. I am at the point where I can clearly see some of the Plaintiff's screw-ups, but I still do not know the best way how to deal with their screw-ups to my advantage

I recently received a summons to superior court in Georgia for a credit card I know nothing about. The plaintiff is Cavalry SPV and the attorney is Hanna & Assoc. I answered the summons, and now I am drafting responses to the Request for Admission of Facts, Request for Production of Documents, and Interrogatories. I am listing the questions and my answers below -- I would sincerely appreciate any advice or critiques, as this process has a very steep learning curve. Thank you in advance.

When you applied for the credit card, you agreed to make at least the minimum payment due every month on the indebtedness owing by you on the credit card.

There was no agreement attached to Plaintiff's Complaint. 5. You made at least the minimum monthly payments owing on the credit card account for a period of time. Denied. 6.

Defendant has already denied recollection of this card and therefore this question is improper. 8. You have refused to pay the principal balance due Plaintiff on the credit card.

You do not have any documents that support your contention that the amount claimed due in the Complaint is incorrect. Admit.

You do not have any legal or factual basis for your contention that a different amount is owed than that claimed by the Plaintiff. Denied. See 17. 19. You do not have any legal or factual basis for your defense of failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Denied. 20. You do not have any legal factual basis for your defense of lack of standing. Denied. Defendant has never had an account with the Plaintiff or any of the three entities referenced in the complaint as an alleged "original creditor" therefore Plaintiff lacks standing to sue Defendant for recovery of non-existent debt. 21. You do not have any factual basis for your claim that Plaintiff does not have a valid assignment. Denied. Plaintiff has attached no documents which demonstrate legal assignment of any debt that Defendant is personally responsible for to Plaintiff. 22.

I received lawsuit for jdb the day I was due to respond. I panicked and answered response simply that the debt was not valid, with no affirmative defenses whatsoever. Now it is time to answer their interrogs and productions of documents etc. I see that they want to know my defenses in the interrogs, which I understand I must answer. So it appears, after much post- study to my "answer" in court, that because I did not include any affirmative defenses, I may not use them ever without the plaintiff claiming prejudice. 1 What I wanted to know is if anybody knows how to word a request to the court to ammend my answer and include affirmative defenses? Anything that can be utilized for the sake of pro se defendants who did not have time to prepare answer? 2 If the court denies the opportunity to amend and includeaffirmative defenses, what grounds do I have to stand on ---or am I dead in the water? 3 The interrogs and documents are due within just a couple of days. Is it possible to simply include my affirmative defenses where I am asked to, or do I need to wait for the court approval? 4 Where my answer was simply that the debt is not valid, is it possible that this covers more ground than I now suppose? Thanks to any help. I wanted to force arbitration, but it appears I have not even a right to defend. So sad Just got four phonecalls from the jerks today.

I read this post on the forum about a state that has a rule that says they have to provide the document. DEFENDANT’S DEMAND FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS PURSUANT TO R. 4:18-2 Pursuant to Rule 4:18-2, Defendant hereby demands that Plaintiff serve copies of the following documents cited in the complaint within 5 days after service of this request as prescribed by the Rules of Court. 1. “an agreement” in Plaintiff’s Complaint statement #2 Does anyone know if there is such a rule/law in Oregon? I did a search and read UTCR Chapter 2 and don't see anything. I had previously requested these documents and many more that they evaded and finally produced the 1 page Bill of Sale which doesn't prove anything when they had to provide their Pre-Hearing Statement of Proof. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Good afternoon all - I realize that we are in the midst of the holidays, but was really looking for some input on the production of docs I intend to serve upon a Junk Debt Buyer (Plaintiff) here in CA.

So, if you would be so kind as to review what I have and let me know what you think - it would be greatly appreciated!
