blacksurfer Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'm in California, but generally how does one file a counter-claim, for abuses of the FDCPA or FCRA when they have been served a summons? Do you include your complaint on the Answer-Contract form or do you use the same form the Plaintiff used when initiating his lawsuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 You would do your answer and then ((The way I did it)) was to basically copy the Plaintiffs format and then claim my counters against them.It's not all that difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glarco Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Did you have to file separately with the court or pay filing fees? Would there be a difference between the plaintiff and the plaintiff attorney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentWA Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 blacksurfer, it sounds like they included one of those silly little answer forms for you to answer the complaint. This is NOT the form you have to use to answer the complaint, it is a fabrication of the plaintiff to pidgeon hole defendants that do not have knowledge of the system. Those forms have no place on them to enter affirmative defenses, counter-claims, etc.On your answers there will be 3 main section, Answers, Defenses, and Counter-Claims. Use the same basic format as the plaintiffs complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
