I have diligently checked my credit report with the free annual credit report and keep the ones from equifax. I checked last years and this years report and found none of the accounts on the report. So I will list the pertinent info on the accounts here. Please help me respond to the summons.

You need to get to the law library and dig into your annotated statutes. Chapter 413 is limitations on actions. 413.090 is written contracts (15 years) 413.120 is other (5 years). Read over all the caselaw and see if anything is on point with credit cards (unlikely).

From there you need to find out when the cause of action begins to accrue and what actions, if any, toll the statute of limitations.

You should be able to motion to strike their affidavits of account as they (Asset) have no personal knowledge of accounts originated by Verizon and FirstUSA.

Send a debt validation letter CMRRR to law firm who filed suit - now.

File an answer with in 20 days - examples on this site and others - as Affirmative defense assert out of SOL.

Find something they screwed up on and counterclaim.

Attack affidavit from Asset ee - dosn't mean squat. Demand doc's affidavit based on - hint they don't exist.

Can someone point me to a form letter to use to repond to this stating athe account is out of SOL. I would greatly appreciate it.

[helpess]

Can anyone look over this to make sure it all makes sense and I'm not shooting myself in the foot. I would greatly appreciate it.
