I have been trolling through this forum for the last couple of hours and I am truly dazzled by all the great information...THANK YOU! Now I have a few contentious points for followup before I get down to the court house.
1. Can anyone point me at a proper format for a Summons Response letter? I know it's just a 1. Deny, blah blah blah...but is there any proper way to format or other info that needs to be included?
2. I have not yet sent a Validation Letter to Palisades Collection LLC...I will after I respond to the summons. However I have found MANY addresses for these folks, is there one that is better than another to send the letter to or should I send it to the attorneys listed on the summons?
3. The SOL on this debt in Indiana is 6 years...however, until six months ago I lived in Delaware where the SOL on it is 4 years. And yes, you guessed it, in Delaware the SOL was up before I moved. Can I still claim SOL or am I S.O.L.?
Thank you all for such wonderful information and advice throught this forum...it has been a GREAT education!
Hi Kep,
First you need to answer the summons as soon as possible because if you don't they will win by default. I believe as far as the questions you just answer what they are asking. I do believe the SOL goes by the state in which the debt was acquired which means Delaware. Not sure how you handle it after that. Whether you let them know when you get to court or you send them a letter letting them know before court. Just hang in there some of the more experienced members will be on and lead you in the right direction.
The statute of limitations is definately in the state in which you resided at the time of acquiring the card, so it will have to go by that one.
It is vital that you give an answer to the summons with in the time frame so that they don't get a default judgement.
Please keep us updated on your progress with this. I would stick with the statute of limitations if that is already past. You can send a validation letter if you want to, but if it is past the statute of limitations then they can not collect it anyway so the validation would be null and void.
what state is the creditor from? They may be going by their states statutes and they have to go by the state of residency of the card holder, not the company
That is a good point they may either be trying to pull a quick one or they may not actually know, some of these collectors set up shop and start collecting without actually knowing the laws of collection.
A good example of this is the way the call continuously or the way they call employers or the way they constantly harass an account holder. They violate so many of the rules, they don't take the time to know them, they just hope that we as consumers don't know them either.
How many people here have been harrassed by a collector?
I have always heard that Palasades was a tricky company. My first question is in what state did you aquire the debt? I have always been led to believe that this is what is used when considering the Statute of limitations. If the debt was taken out in Delaware, then the debt would go by Delaware's SOL. If this is the fact you should present this fact to the judge (if it goes that far) and you would win due to the SOL, unless you have made any payments on the debt in the past four years.

Hi Autodealer,
As much as I understand, as Dealer Services Corp. has a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filing, they are not required to notify you or your bank about the repossession.

What happened to the OPs suit?
Seems the original poster did not stop beck in and update the post. sometimes newer post take over the older ones. This happens a lot with the newer member or someone just new to the forum. It takes them a while to learn how to open a new post and ask their question there.
