I could be wrong, but a few of your requests seem a little redundant. But, I'll let the more knowledgeable members of the board weigh in on that. I didn't see your request to ask for proof of ownership of the alleged debt. "Provide all Bills of Sale/Assignment of the alleged debt from (original creditor) to the Plaintiff, as well as the amount Plaintiff paid for the alleged debt." The above is where you can really hit them where it hurts. |

Thank you very much, I will definitely going to add it to my Interrogatories. |

I meant to ask...I take it Cach bought the debt and is not the original creditor? Blonde moment here Also, most courts differentiate between Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents. |

State the nature and substance of their expected testimony. Response: Interrogatory No. 12 is objected to the extent that it is seeking information that is premature, given that the parties are in the midst of discovery and pertinent documents have not yet been produced by the Plaintiff. The Defendant cannot possibly answer this Interrogatory when he has not seen the Plaintiff answers to his Discovery. Without waiving his/her objection, the Defendant at this time has no witnesses, but reserves the right to call witnesses, if need be, once the Plaintiff answers their Discovery given by the Defendant. Interrogatory 13. List any and all expert witnesses you plan to call to testify at trial, and for each such person: a. State their name, address and telephone number; and b.

Interrogatory 14. List any and all Exhibits you plan to introduce at trial. Response: Interrogatory No. 14 is objected, as it is once again requesting information that it is premature given that the parties are in the midst of discovery and pertinent documents have not yet been produced by the Plaintiff.

Has any individual help you prepare and/or analyze any document(s), including but not limited to letters/correspondence, pleadings, or other documents, throughout the course of this litigation?

Response: Dependant is appearing Pro Se for all the responses to the Plaintiff’s Non-Uniform Interrogatories. Any comments and suggestions will gladly appreciated |

Yes, they just like out of nowhere sent me a Summon without any letters saying that they own that Debt. They're claiming that they bought it from Bank of America. On their Complaint, there's no statements or even account number. It was my first time , so i'm kinda freak out, then I submit my answer without a counterclaim (I should have to). But yeah, I'm on my Discovery moment |

I'm hoping some of the more knowledgeable posters are going to chime in here. But here goes: Your answers are a little more detailed than mine were when I went through a lawsuit, but they look fine to me. I might have answered #9 like this: Quote:
You answered #10 exactly as I would have. By the way, is the debt within or outside the SOL? |
#8 | |||
| |||
Yes it is still in SOL, my last encountered with Bank of America was on/about September 2008. I actually did not applied for the credit card, it was just add to our checking account, because we have a checking account with them before. I never signed any agreement (but sad to say I used it) But then , I resigned to my job because I have difficulty on my pregnancy. |

Ok, even though it's still within the SOL, BofA doesn't own it anymore. Cach must prove they own the debt and have the right to collect. I'm sure you've been reading these boards and understand how JDBs buy portfolios. Unless Cach can prove your debt with your name was in the portfolio they purchased, they can't prove they own it. I loved Interrogatories #6 and #11. They were trying to get you to admit you had a CC with BofA, that your account number matched the one they have, and that you knew the balance. Sneaky little jerks. Just keep reading and learning. That's your best weapon. Hope you're doing well. |

I think this is posted in the wrong place. This is the post-judgment forum. It sounds like they do not have a judgment yet, this is just pre-trial discovery. |
