Cheat Sheets

Walk in knowing what to say.

A Cheat Sheet is one or two printed pages built for your hearing: what to argue, what the collector’s lawyer will say back, and how to answer it. You print it, and it goes to court with you.

  • Built from your case
  • Fits one page
  • In both plans

KillDebt · Cheat Sheet

Motion to Dismiss Hearing
Acme Portfolio Holdings, LLC v. Maria R.


Key arguments

1. Acme must prove it owns this exact account. The complaint attaches no assignment.

2. The affidavit is from Acme’s employee, not the original creditor’s…

If they say…

“Defendant never disputed the debt.”

Say: “Silence is not an admission. Acme still has to prove its own claim, and I dispute every element of it.”

Bring with you

Three copies of your motion · the complaint · a notepad. Address the judge as “Your Honor.”


Maria, you already did the most important step: you showed up. Stick to your theme and make them prove it.

What is on it

Eight sections. Every sheet, every time.

Not a memo and not an essay. The same fixed structure a trial lawyer’s bench notes have, filled in from your case.

Key arguments

Your points, in the order they matter. Lead with the strongest.

Their objections, answered

What the other side will argue, each with a scripted response. Word for word, so you can think on your feet.

Rules and statutes

The exact citations to reference, and one line on what each requires.

Key dates

Your deadlines, with the urgent ones flagged.

Questions to ask

What to ask, and who to ask it: their witness, or the judge.

Procedural reminders

What to bring, where to stand, how to address the court.

Confidence tips

Brian’s advice for the day, written to you, by name.

No case citations

On purpose. The sheet sits beside your filings; your case law is already in them.

How you get one

You name the hearing. It already knows the rest.

About five minutes, because your case is already on the platform.

Step 1

Say what you are walking into

Pick the hearing type, or describe it in a sentence. “Motion to dismiss hearing on Tuesday.”

Step 2

It asks only what it does not know

It shares ParkerGPT’s memory of your case: who is suing, your court, your deadlines. It will not make you repeat your story.

Step 3

Print it and go

One or two pages, downloaded as a document you can edit, built from thirty years of Brian’s defense playbook.

The hearing without one

  • Their lawyer objects, and you freeze, because you did not know that was coming.
  • The judge asks what rule you are relying on, and you cannot name it.
  • You remember your best argument in the parking lot.

The hearing with one

  • The objection comes, and your answer is on the page in front of you, word for word.
  • The rule is cited on the sheet, with one line on what it requires.
  • Your arguments are ranked, so you lead with the strongest and stop when it lands.

What you can get one for

Six situations, or describe your own.

The same six the tool offers when you open it, so nothing here is a surprise at login.

Motion to Dismiss

Argue the case should be thrown out before trial: jurisdiction, limitations, failure to state a claim.

Summary Judgment Defense

Respond to judgment without trial: material fact disputes, evidence requirements, burden of proof.

Answer + Counterclaims

Respond to the complaint and assert your claims: affirmative defenses, FDCPA violations, verification demands.

Hearing Preparation

Get ready for the court date: what to say, what to bring, courtroom procedure.

Discovery Responses

Handle interrogatories and document requests: objection language, response templates, deadlines.

Appeal Preparation

Challenge a ruling: grounds for appeal, the timeline, preserving the record.
