i will try to be brief. I have a bench trial tommorrow with Arrow. They bought the debt from Washington Mutual. I was served with a summons and when asked if I accept or deny debt, i said deny. We then set it for a bench trial. The judge then told me it was the lawyers responsibility to prove to him that this was legit.i have been provided with no information from anyone after tons of phone calls. I sent a letter for a request of production of documents about 25 days ago and received nothing back. The only thing that was attached to the summons was an affidavit of Indebtness provided by Washington Mutual. They even have my address wrong on my summons! Bottom line is, I have been given nothing and have been asked to fill out nothing by anyone. The law firm representing Arrow has hired another local law firm to handle this case. I would assume that they will not be traveling 400 miles for a $2000 court case and will leave it to the locals.
Does anyone have any thoughts on my first move in court?


Explain to the court that you have requested that they provide proof of this debt and they have refused. Hopefully you sent the request by certified mail wit return receipt.

They may hope that you don't show up and go for a default judgement.

Also DO NOT let them postpone or talk you into any deals.

Get in front of the judge and ask that the case be dismissed WITH prejudice or that the court order that Arrow produce the supporting documents.
