New paperwork need help!-Midland Funding/Mandarich Law Group

[JW200]

I originally submitted a question but did not get any feedback, I have since filed my answer with the court (General Denial "stating "Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction-The underlying contract contains a private arbitration clause which the Defendant has elected to exercise, Therefore, This Court does not have jurisdiction to hear this matter".) and have received new paperwork (Request for Admissions, Request for Production of Documents and Special Interrogatories).

JDBs tend to use the same discovery requests over & over & over... I still have mine from Midland so I'll compare to yours, should be similar. The date of service on these requests was Feb 11, so you need to place your response in the mail by March 18 (30 days + 5 days because it was mailed to you). Plenty of time.
