Q: I am being sued by a debt collector.
I answered the lawsuit within the 30 day period however they filed a "motion to deem request for admission". The hearing (which doesn't require an appearance) is scheduled for 3/4/22. Problem is, I was never served, mailed, or emailed any Request For Admissions. What motion should I file in response?
A:
File an opposition.
Send fax to defense attorney.

A: First, an appearance is absolutely required unless you want a default against you. You must attend all hearings. Second, you will need to file an opposition stating that you were never served and attach a declaration. I highly recommend you contact and consult and even hire an attorney. These are not do it yourself defenses and generally without a lawyer you are likely to get a judgment against you.
