Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I am the defendant in a suit where the plaintiff is claiming I owe them money from an unpaid credit card debt. I am acting pro se and have replied with an affirmative defense and request for production because all they provided was a paper that showed my name, address, ss# and the amount owed. Now they have made a Motion to Strike Defendants Affirmative Defense. (1) What can I do to counter-act this, and (2) do I have to respond or do I wait for the judge to intervene

There are a lot of things you could do. I haven't seen your request for production but it should include requests for all of the media associated with this account. I don't know what your 1 affirmative defense is, but there are probably 3-4 that you should have. You need to respond to the Motion to Strike or the court may rule on it without a hearing (if it is based purely on an interpretation of the law).

Remember, he who represents himself has a fool for a client.
