[Posse 4]

Thank you Calawyer...

 

 

 

I found the Bill of Particulars (BOP) on 1111girl case. I did ask for the contract assigning the account to the Plaintiff as well. 

 

I'll get it in the mail today.

 

Thank you again ... 

[Posse 4]

Dumb question sorry [goods sold and delivered] [money had and received] [money lent or paid] [quantum meruit] Do I leave everything in the [ ] or pick one ? 

[Posse 4]

And send them the original

[Posse 4]

I sent the BOP. Someone signed for it on 4/14/14.

 

What would be my next step? 

[Posse 4]

There's been no reply

[Posse 4]

54.  

CCP 454.... It is not necessary for a party to set forth in a pleading the items of an account therein alleged, but he must deliver to the adverse party, within ten days after a demand thereof in writing, a copy of the account, or be precluded from giving evidence thereof. The court or judge thereof may order a further account when the one delivered is too general, or is defective in any particular.

If the pleading is verified the account must be verified by the affidavit of the party to the effect that he believes it to be true; or if the facts are within the personal knowledge of the agent or attorney for the party, or the party is not within the county where the attorney has his office or from some cause unable to make the affidavit, by the affidavit of the agent or attorney.

(Amended by Stats. 1939, Ch. 63.)

 

So it seems they have 10 days to respond. To the BOP.

[calawyer 1,848]

Meet and confer when no reply received:  http://www.creditinfocenter.com/community/topic/309963-unanswered-bop-in-california/

[Posse 4]

      .I sent the meet and confer letter on May 7, 14...   I receive a settlement agreement from Portfolio. They are knocking off 664.75. if I pay the 1500.00. If they dont receive the 1500.00 they will move forward with the pending litigation against me. I can scan the letter if you want. 

[Posse 4]

I received letter (actually 2) both with thee same date. I can scan them if you like. Nothing in pleading, just letters saying stuff like if we dispute related to identity theft/fraud.

 

then the second letter saying they completed their investigation of our dispute. They attached documents (statements), and says " which establish its validity".

 

 

What would  be the next step?

[calawyer 1,848]

Assuming you don't want to settle, just ignore their letters.  You might want to poke them one more time about the Bill of Particulars.

[Posse 4]

No... No settling, I will ignore them...Sure I will send another Meet and Confer letter.

 

Thank You.

I think I'm behind the 8 ball

What's the trial date?

 

You'll need to subpoena the ccp98 declarant, and prepare your objections to everything that was attached to it.  I'd also send them a ccp96 request (form DISC-015).

 

When are trial briefs and MIL/objections due?

[calawyer 1,848]

Where does the CCP 98 declarant live?  Is there an address in California where the witness may be served?

[Posse 4]

Also I was served the trial exhibit list.

 

The declarant is in San Diego, it also says that the she authorize me to serve the atty. if I cant get her served. Also under penalty of perjury it's signed with the date August 13. Am I just to assume that its 2014?

 

Trial is on Sept. 25.

[Anon Amos 2,247]

I wouldn't assume anything.

Also, is it signed under perjury to the laws of the state of California; or does it just say under perjury?

[Anon Amos 2,247]

The declarant is probably from another state and vomiting perjury by saying they will be in San Diego. Read it all closely and make sure.

[Posse 4]

I can scan it if you like... It says " My current address is XXXXXXXX San Diego. I  am available at this address for service of process 20 days prior to trial date herein. If service of process cannot be effectuated at the aforementioned address,I authorize  the def. to contact atty. xxxx for purpose of effecting proper service on my behalf.

 

I have personal knowledge of the above facts and if called to testify could competently do so. 

 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the state of California that the foregoing is true and correct. 

 

executed on this 13 day of august at san diego California 

[Posse 4]

What are my next setps? 

 

Do you need anything scanned ?

[Anon Amos 2,247]

I guess anything is possible

A bottom feeder actually used the code as it was intended and has a declarant that is a Californian.

Just continue with the subpoena process as you were. I don't know that you need to scan anything yet

[Anon Amos 2,247]

On second thought; it's probably a lie that the declarant lives in San Diego. You would still serve the subpoena anyway.

If it's not too much trouble to redact and scan we may be able to spot something you missed, but it's not critical
