Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

proper forms for answering a complaint

I was wondering where I can find the

correct forms to use to answer my

complaint(lawsuit from a creditor...over

4 years ago). I'd like to answer it

myself if possible, due to money issues

at this time.

Re: proper forms for answering a complaint

If you are being sued by a creditor from over 4 years ago, read the small print in your contract! It says the winner of the lawsuit gets his or her attorney fees paid. This is why you should be calling attorneys, and this is why I can afford to take cases like these very, very inexpensively. You pay a very small retainer, and I get to collect my hourly rate from the idiot collection agency.

If it has been more than four years, the case is barred by the statute of limitations for contracts.

What�s So Revolutionary About Our Debt Defense Practice?

Let�s start with our Fixed Fee: $299

We think everything else too, but you decide.

The collection firm wants you to ignore the lawsuit; in fact they depend on it. Fight back and defend yourself. Just don�t be surprised how quickly they fold (don�t worry -- we won�t remind you we told you so).

We know based on our experience that the debt collection firms so rarely continue to effectively litigate the case if the defendant retains an attorney. We are so confident in this fact, we know our workload will not be overwhelming and therefore we can provide great representation for an affordable amount. Plus, once you get back on your feet, you may need us for other legal matters, such as preparing a will or starting a business. Our goal is to impress you now, so you come back later. Pretty smart, huh?

As a convenience for our clients, we now accept credit card payments.
