earlier i posted i was being sued for a old cc debt past the satute of limitations here in florida, i went to legal aid, and they filed a motion to dismiss, we went to pre trial, where i was among about 100 others being sued by about 5 lawyers for cc debt. the judge states that the clerk will call us one by one, and ask if we admit to debt or deny it. IF you admit to debt you are to go into the hallway with the attorney and try to work out agreement, he stated IF you work out agreement and dont pay he will sign a judgment. also IF you deny you owe the debt he will meet us in chambers to discuss a trial date, of the 100 there about 90 admitted owing the debt, 10 denied owing debt. while waiting the legal aid lawyer was handing out pamplets and offering assistance to anyone. but i was the only one there with representation. when our turn to go to chambers, he looked at motion to dismiss (which i will post later) and asked cc attorney if there was any reason he shouldnt grant the dismissal, the attorney asked for more time, which the judge gave him 20 days to come up with info my attorney requested. the next day the case was closed. my attorney didnt even raise the statute of limitations as primary defense, she had a few other defenses. my attorney said they do this a couple of times a month, the major junk debt buyers hire local attorneys with little knowledge of the cases to represent them, and they are from all over, my plaintiff was unifund, which is in coral gables florida way south, and i am in north florida. and many have valid defenses that they dont at least try to use. the major thing is DONT admit the debt to the judge or its over. i will post some of the points of the plaintiffs suit and my attornys defenses.
