Hearing these words from my volunteer attorneys mouth just made me appreciate your valuable information even more on how to fight these debt collectors. I was shocked when I had a meeting to discuss my case and informed my volunteer attorney that the plaintiffs attorneys sent me my cc statements from the original creditor as their proof that they have my alleged debt. My attorneys argument was that the Judge may side with them on the strength of the statements indicating my account no, ssn and the amount owed which they put in their complaint is considered the Data File, and one option would be to settle with them. I almost ended the zoom..lol, then thought, OMG can that happen...however I had other suggestions like writing a letter to plaintiffs attorneys asking to produce a P&S agreement or Bill of sale.

My question is have you ever had a judge side with the plaintiff based on cc account statements being presented as proof of a (Data File) them owning the debt? What would you send to plaintiffs attorneys in the interim before a June hearing?

Requests to proof ownership depending on the Plaintiff. Judges want debt collection cases out of their hair as until you show your detailed side of things, they take a jaundiced view or collection defendants. Use your skills and techniques to settle the judge, the other side and the case. Good luck.
