Help responding to plaintiff's request for admissions

[hills13bbb]

I need to send in my response to plaintiff's request for admission and disclosures.  Here is what I have.  Wherever it says plaintiff's original petition this is referring to JDB. Exhibits they speak of are monthly statements they attached, bill of sale (that does not have any of my information on it) and the sworn statement from their affiant. I have denied all but the part about military.  Please advise if my responses are appropriate or need some revision.  Not sure how to answer the disclosure part.

14, 16-19 should be changed. 14 is a reverse question. The others, it's okay to admit that they asked for payment. 17 admit, with the qualifier that they are not entitled to payment at this point in time. 18 and 19 okay to admit, meaningless anyway. Not sure about the SOL question, if they missed the SOL you would have a dismissal.

Thanks for quick reply.

 

Bruno-

When you say that 14 is a reverse question how should I respond? I changed 17 to admit since it is obvious I have not paid them, But 16, 18-19 I'm still leaning towards deny since I have no idea who this Plaintiff is let alone received anything from them.
