dustysmom Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Ok I had posted earlier in Nov.I'm being sued in small claims court by Cap 1.The new hearing date is 12/30/2008 at 1pm.On the complaint that i received its says1. Defendant owes Plaintiff the above sum of xxxx.xx2. Breach of Contract on credit card xxxxxxxxx3. Money due and owning on the account stated4. Money due and owning on an open book account5. Reasonable vale of goods sold and delivered and /or services rendered and unjust enrichment's.I've called the court and told them that i would enter a defense and that is why i have the new court date. My defense is going to be the SOL -I'm in Pa so my sol is 4 years. What i need to know is how do i go about doing this.Do i just say this is a dead debt as the sol is 4 years?Should i have proof with me that the sol is only 4 years and where would i find that proof -I found the sol on this website but i doubt the judge would allow a print out from a website. I've got some old credit reports and the card is list on them but they really donot give me that much info. How can i find out the date of last activity? Any help would be greatly appericated.I've read the paperwork that came from the court and it states that i need to furnish 3 copies off all evidence.

nascar Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Just remember, SOL is an affirmative defense. The burden of proof to show that no payment has been made and that the statute has run is on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrybucks Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 You need to look up and cite the specific statute and case law. Here is a start Tit. 42 §5529(; 5525(8); Tit. 42§5525(3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiredofthebs Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I know cap 1 has the choice of law in the contract will that work in Ga. Judge in a friends case said it did not apply because the agreement was made in Ga. and not Va. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
