Arrow Financial is the plaintiff on an account that a collection attorney has filed against me for. I sent the collection attorney a request for validation of debt but they did not respond. It is now 31 days since the collection attorney received my certified letter. I am ready to file a motion to dismiss and have it prepared. I know how to file it with the court but how does the collection attorney get a copy of the motion? Do I have to send them a copy too or can I just file with the court and hope the judge decides in my favor?


So I filed my Motion to Dismiss the case with Arrow Financial. The clerk told me that the judge won't see it until I file an Order. I've been researching for my state, Mississippi, to see how to file an Order and can't seem to find the answer. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

hang on, I wouldnt file that motion just yet.

Since this is in court, the debt validation letter is worthless to you at this point. you are still able to make them prove their case, but now you have to file a motion for discovery/request for production of documents. The moment they file the complaint and have you served the summons, they are no longer required to stop everything until they validate.

Research your state's procedures for filing motion for discovery/request for production of documents. I will be back in a little while to mention a specific case law example that you should include with this motion--it will basically force the plaintiff to produce pretty much every detail in authenticated documentation for you, as long as the court addresses your case law example properly. But a motion to dismiss is premature, because you need to follow the rules of procedure.

Oh, and the order youre talking about is commonly known as "order to show cause". That may help you to find the info youre looking for on that one, but like I said, its premature to file an order to show cause/motion to dismiss just yet. Arrow Financial is known for filing lawsuits that they cannot prove, so as long as you stick to your guns and work within the law to force them to prove their case, you stand a good chance of getting this dismissed.
