My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: I live in Orlando, Florida about a month ago I was served with court documents that a credit card company is sueing me. I don't recognize this debt so I filed an answer using as my defense fraud and SOL.

the court schedule mediation for May 27 . but today I received a letter from the Attorney representing the credit card company asking the court to have a telphone hearing instead becuase they located in Jacksonville, FL and it is imposible for them to come to Orlando because it will implicate additional expenses that are prohibited.

Is there anyway I can Object to the telephone hearing , they should've of thought about that before suing becuase it looks to me that they were betting I was not going to dispute .

thanks,

You can check the court rules in relation to procedure for requesting or objecting to a hearing by phone, or ask the clerk. If they can request a phone hearing by letter, odds are you can object by letter; but what's the point, other than to try to drive up their cost?

my point is if they can't make it to court , I can have the Judge dismiss the case. That's the main reason not to drive up their cost.
