I’ve had an attorney advise me through our legal aid program on answering admissions and pretty much all was Objected to based on compound questions or being to vague.
I got a small claims lawsuit served to me yesterday from LVNV Funding and it was for 1441. About double what it should be. All they have me was a page where I appear at a court hearing, three months from now. So I called my court clerk and they said you can send them an answer for a complaint, but there really is no need. She said you just need to show up on that day. So if this is true, do I still need to write out an answer for the courtdate and to mail them? Or is it something I just show up on that day? I'm almost certain that statue of limitations have ended. They sent me some insane generic statement with someone who represents them that the Account was opened in February of 2016.
Can a Credit collector for a private student loan collect from another state? Example VA address collector hired attorneys in Ohio to collect a debt that it was paid so far they send my to court?.. this is insane.
Discover filed a civil lawsuit against me April 4th. I wasn't served until the last day of April and e-filed an answer a few days later. It has been almost two months now and nothing more has happened. Is this normal? I'm in Land O Lakes btw
This may be a stupid question. In one of the complaints on what was given to me, it just says "defendant eventually stopped paying the minimum payment." Would it hurt me to admit that statement, but deny the paragraph where they say I owe a specific amount (I am unsure of that amount)?
Depends on your theory of the case, as we discuss in the video. Generally speaking, if you know something is both legally and factually true, and you’re not contesting it as part of your defense, admitting facts like that can be a tactical choice. Check out our most recent video about debt collection complaints.
I got a letter from Midland not telling me what it is about demanding a video with someone,I have no idea what it is about in 2015 I paid them them when I sold my house so I don't know what it is about
Thank you for ur advice

Requests for admission are different from a complaint so they require a different approach.

what if if the lawsuit is for 2k in a civil court? Can you reach out to them directly to avoing going to court?
You can do whatever you want. Whether it works depends mostly on who you're dealing with, and also what state you're in.
I've been issued a letter from my brokerage requesting an advance I received as a commission its not a summons
I don't understand your question. But if this is part of your job, the laws we're talking about probably don't apply to this situation.

As long as they’re licensed in your state, that’s usually not a violation.
can a debt collector still report after receiving a debt validation letter ?
in Massachusetts
Under federal law, they can, but they have to report it as disputed.
Some states may have tighter limits on what debt collectors can do.

Yes. But make sure to check the online court records.
Discover, as an original creditor, is a much tougher case to win than a typical debt collector.
