Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in North Carolina
I replied to summons requesting Interrogatories, Admission's, and Production of Documents. They only responded to Admission's, and nothing else (not even objections). Am I required to respond to Admission's before they respond in full to my Discovery request? If so is there a time limit?
We are invalid and disabled, but willing to make payment arrangements. We cannot drive, and reside in a rural community, which restricts us from obtaining any local attorney.

You have to respond to admissions within 30 days or they will be deemed admitted. You could ask the court for an extension which would typically give you another 30 days. That is why the other side answered admissions and didn't answer anything else. So yes - you have to respond whether or not they answered all your discovery.
From a practical level, to get the other side to answer the rest of the discovery, you should call the attorney and ask when you can expect it. If they don't produce it, then you can file a motion to compel which you would have to set for hearing.
