Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois

I don't know the area of law to choose. I'm being sued and I'm reresenting myself. We are in discovery and the other lawyer didn't provide me with the information I requested. He said it didn't "exsist". Can I use this against him knowing that the information does?

I hope this helps-
