You can find this by a) calling the court or looking it up online (many states have this information posted - when you find the online court site, search by case number or your name).13.

Statements from the OC? Contract? List anything else they attached as exhibits. Just a 2010 agreement. I opened account 2009. Can't find a 2009 agreement elsewhereI talked to the legal aid attorney and they basically said that since I'm being used by the original creditor. There's nothing I cannot do. I have 2 cards wth capital one that both defaulted because I lost my job. I just don't want to admit a debt that I'm not so sure is mine. I heard people can be used twice. Besides, they put a 2010 agreement when I signed up on 2009. , they are suing on an account stated case. But without an affidavit attached to the complaint, isn't it a good defense?We are in the process of discovery. I just don't know what to send them for discovery request since they are the original creditor, and I've been seeing a lot of posts here saying, it would be tough to beat them so lay low. I'm unsure if I should send discovery request or bop. I'm in the process of answering the interrogatories, req for admissions and req for producing of docs of plaintiffs.I hope anybody has had any experience of dealing with this law firm for capital one in michigan and can give me some heads up.Thank you so much guys,god bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanEX Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hmm. Are you sure this is the original creditor suing you, that law firm is representing Cap1? Account Stated and them attaching a 2010 agreement when you say it was opened in 2009 sounds funny to me. Have you reviewed your credit report and the Cap1 tradeline to make sure it is still with them and has not been sold? Be careful when answering interrogs, admissions and docs. You can give them info you don't have to that will hurt your case. You should post up the rogs, admissions and docs they are requesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
