the story in brief --- I had a Bank of America credit card account that i defaulted on. the last payment was december 2005. I'm in NC- SOL is 3 years.
Got a summons in November 2008. Answered the summons in December 08. Got a plaintiff's first request for admissions in January 2009. Answered in January 2009. Didn't send any discovery questions myself (mistake there...) I figured I'd wait to see what they do before I try to send production of docs, interrogatories, etc.
Then- nothing until October 2009 when I got a motion to withdraw as counsel from the collector's corporate attorney.
