Production of Bank Statements

Bernhardt and Strawser are suing me for a debt from World Wide Asset Purchasing. I filed discovery, they filed discovery. They answered mine, I answered theirs, denying, and using their exact wording from their answers on many of the questions. I received a letter two days ago demanding that I produce bank statements as my answers were vague and uncooperative, etc. They stated that by producing the bank statements it would help me to prove my denial. They gave me 10 days (total) to respond. This made me suspicious as our next hearing isn't until Oct. 15th and that is just a status hearing on the discovery process.

When asked for bank statements in the production of documents, I said this was unduly burdensome (2006) and that this is information they should already have in their possession.



He threatened that if I did not produce them in the ten days, he would file a motion to compel.

I have 2 questions.
One do I have to produce them, and if not, how to I defend that in court against a motion to compel?

And 2: If I do have to produce (oh the horror stories I've read about that) can I produce my personal and not my joint account. Can I just produce my personal account as the person on my joint account (spouse) is not included in the lawsuit? And quite frankly he objects to the invasion of privacy and confidentiality.

My time is running out so any info would be helpful.

Thank you!
