tryingtodigout Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 What is the SOL in your state? When did you last pay the OC? When did the debt go into default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoapres Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 If you were sued in small claims court then simply show up and present your defense which is likely to demand proof that you owe the debt and raise the affirmative SOL defense.If you were sued in the limited jurisidiction division of the superior court then will have to conduct a trial defense and cross-examine the witness and/or attack Plaintiff's evidence.

willingtocope Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 If last payment was made 2/01, then DOLA is 3/01 at the latest. This is beyond SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryingtodigout Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Did you file defenses and counterclaims with your answer? If so, did you use the SOL defense? Did you serve interrogatories or any discovery on them. I would say if you have proof that your last payment was made in 2/2001, then when they filed the suit, it would be out of SOL. I would take that proof with me to the court. Then you would have to motion for summary judgement based on the fact that the SOLC has passed. If CA says SOLC has not passed, demand strict proof of this. You need some of the experts to chime in here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tryingtodigout Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 willingtocope: Do you think that the OP can use the EQ report as further proof that this is SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willingtocope Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Actually, it appears that all 3 reports at least imply that the DOLA was prior to 4/2005. EQ says DOLA was 3/01...EX with charge off at 10/01 means DOLA was 6 month earlier (4/01 at the latest)....and TU showing date closed at 5/01 implies account was at least 60 days late then. I'd certainly take all the reports to court.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryingtodigout Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 OP: I would take the hardcopies of my CR showing the dates you mentioned, the proof the last payment was made 2/01. If you have proof they filed the summons 4/05 to show that they filed past the SOLC. Your affirmative defense would be SOLC has passed. Motion for summary judgement based on that. If CA says different on the SOLC, demand strict proof of this. I would also make sure I look over any documents they present to the judge as well.Do you have your rules of civil procedure?

hoapres Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 You may have been assigned a trial date of 3/3/2006. Every california county court has individual local rules. Quite possibly, the limited jurisidiction jurisdiction at the first case management conference simply sets a court date.You need to read the Nolo Press book :Sue in California without a lawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
