Help-Lawsuit filed from by Rory W. Clark!

gust are you located in California

Yes I reside in CA.

remember that in court, they will have to prove the validity of the debt. I would make sure that your answer and notice of defense includes the questions you have regarding the validity of the debt, that will force them to submit that to the court

If I have a question about the validity of the debt, how can I word this in the answer to the lawsuit?

Also, does anyone know what other affirmative defenses can I use in court for this collection case other than statue of limitation.

iif you have evidence showing that you do not owe the debt, never incurred the debt

this guy shouldn't be allowed to practice law
how did he pass the bar?

Didn't pass, he got his license at a blue light special from kmart.

I would seriously advise you not to handle this matter yourself. Consult with an attorney who handles consumer credit issues. Your local county bar association will be able to refer an attorney to you.

Have you disputed the validity of the debt with Mr. Clark, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act? If not, you should do so. Write, "I dispute the validity of this debt. Please provide me with verification."

Atty. David, some of us are to broke to hire an attorney, would you care to represent us pro bono?

summon was filed by fax on 06/27/08 I just found the summon yesterday. help from anyone out there?

You were just served yesterday? Check with the county clerk to be sure that it is a real summons from the court, if it is, make sure that you show up for the court date or a judgement will be granted to the CA/Atty. Ask for validation during discovery, if it can't be provided the case will be dismissed.

I am not licensed in California. If you can't afford an attorney, call your local legal aid office for assistance.

I received a court form stating CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT. Doesn't look like a summons. I really need to join a group to sue this firm.

Call your county court and double check to see if there is a case against you. If not, sue this CA for violating the FDCPA, you can get an attorney through the National Association of Consumer Advocates.

A good considerate lawyer would not charge you more than 500 dollars. Offer to pick up the documents from court yourself, this will save you a lot of money. A lawyer will charge you for the hour. Trust me. I've been down this road, and I did not mind standing in line in the file room to get documents here and there. The rest is piece of cake. In most cases you need a lawyer to scare the shit out this people. Not sure if this advice is to late, but whoever read this, and needs this advice, take it.

Rory clark is skum. i was held liable for a 14,000 debt. i paid him back over 18k and now he is suing me for back interest for another 9,000.00. my boss suggested i hire an attorney because how will anyone know this won't go on and on until i am flat broke. i am seeking an attorney as this rory clark will not even negotiate with me. i hope all will keep me posted with their results. as a matter of fact, he originally servied me with an illigal subpoena from the start. i tend to nail this guy, whatever it takes and i hope others will too.
