Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland

It sounds like you are representing yourself. Bad idea. Hire a Maryland litigator who can possibly negotiate a reduced settlement or represent you in Court.

Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******

First, you cannot serve interrogatories on a claim of less than $5000.

Second, with respect to the affidavit, you should know that the affidavit will not itself be admissible in court. When litigants file cases in district court, they must submit an affidavit in support of their claim. If the defendant fails to defend themselves, the affidavit will be used to support the judgment against the defendant. If the defendant does defend themselves and requests a trial, the debt collector must put on an actual witness. So, if you are intending to take this case to trial, there is really no reason to have the affidavit stricken -- the debt collector will need a witness to support that same evidence.

Good luck with your case. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact me at stm@morrisesq or feel free to check out my blog, www.marylanddebtdefense.com.
