My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Connecticut


Credit card company suing, next step?
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Connecticut

Hello, I recently was sued by a credit card company. I filed an answer and affirmative defense. I had thought the amount of time they had to respond was 30 days, turns out, according to my court rules it is 15 days. So just before thanksgiving I just filed a motion to dismiss on the grounds that they did not reply within the 15 days. Just today I looked at the case and there is already an objection to the motion to dismiss from the plantiff.

09/21/2009 P SUMMONS
09/21/2009 P COMPLAINT
09/21/2009 P RETURN OF SERVICE
101.00 10/06/2009 D ANSWER AND SPECIAL DEFENSE
102.00 11/25/2009 D MOTION TO COMPEL
103.00 12/03/2009 P OBJECTION TO MOTION
Objection to Motion to Dismiss


As you can see, my filing was listed as "Motion to compel" and the objection is to the "Motion to dismiss". When I filed, I filed as "Motion to dismiss".

I am a little confused on a couple things, as this is my first time defending myself in civil court. What should I do at this point? I have not gotten their appearance in the mail yet for that objection. Should I go on the attack and start filing a discovery / interrogatories / requests for admissions etc?

I guess bottom line is I really don't know what them filing an objection to my motion to dismiss means.
