Nancy43 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I owe a huge thank you to all who took the time to post their experiences on this forum and especially to those who answered my posts.In addition, a HUGE thank you to Linda7 who talked me off the ledge many times and offered unlimited support and research. Also to SingleDadJames who jumped back in to help when I was in need.Midland was suing me on account stated, offered only the affidavit, bill of sale, and a payment history. No proof of payments, no credit card statements or anything else so the lack of evidence had a lot to do with the case getting dismissed. They never filed a MSJ.I did screw up at the beginning and didn't understand what affirmative defenses were and never filed those but managed to stay in the game and scheduled a motion to strike their affidavit. The motion was denied as the plaintiff argued they hadn't officially entered it as evidence but I believe that the arguments I offered showed I wasn't backing down; if I had not done that I think the trial would have proceeded and the fight would have been harder.Good Luck to all who still have cases before them; and thank you to those who took time out of their busy schedules to help.

calawyer Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Congrats to you. If the Court enters a judgment in your favor following the dismissal, be sure to send it to any CRAs that are reporting the debt. If no judgment is entered, send the dismissal.
