My question really is, do I need to give the plaintiff a Bill of Particulars or can I just send a Demand for Discovery. After my Prelim. Conference, the papers outlined a schedule, and BOP was first and then Discovery. What would happen if I just didn't submit a BOP? Is it really just...

Hi, What is the difference between a Bill of Particulars and Defendants First Notice to Produce. I was told to 1st submit the bill of particulars then discovery. Can I pass on the Bill? I am the defendant in the case. Thank you.

So something happened, I guess the judge granted the plaintiff their preliminary conference because a date has been set for Supreme Trial. what does this mean? Was I suppose to answer anything after the motion was deined without prejudice to renew? Thank you again

I posted this question in the wrong section before, sorry. The question is, after the above happened, we recived a request for a preliminary conference and I was wondering what my next move is. There is no date or any other information on the request that the plaintiff filed with the court...

Long story short, I am the Defendant: A summary judgement was filed and I answered and counter-claimed to the plaintiff, and the plaintiff lost the motion. Now I just received a Request for a Preliminary Conference. What does that mean and am I suppose to answer it? It was a collections...

Thank you KC Girl, Yes at this point it's irrelevant whether or not I owe the debt....I lost. Yes they had a robo-signer that had personal knowledge of my account but of course the information provided in the affidavit was completely wrong and the judge didn't seem to care. I am sure the...

About a month ago I lost a credit card suit and the plaintiff won the judgement. I was wondering if they can go after my home that I own jointly. The judgement is for about 40k. Can they sell my house. The cc debt was mine only, not a joint cc account. Thank you.

Thank you for your answer. Is there a standard DENY line? Example: 1. That you did apply for the Masterdcard acct #xxxxxxxxxx 2. That you did receive a credit card in your name on the acct. Do I just attach my responses or is there a form and do I i=use the standard line: deny knowledge...

Thank you for your answers. So I will wait to ask for documents but in the next 20 days I have to answer my notice to admit and the 20 1st interrogatories. So how do I deny all of them? Is there a standard line thats used? And I dont want to send a Defendants 1st interrogatoires if theres...

I figured I would continue to answer the notices and deny all and let the burden of proof lie on them. If I lose and the judgement is against me personally, can they go after my company since I am one of the owners or only my personal bank accounts, ira, etc. also, is it to late to file a...
