Hello,
The saga continues...I just recieved another letter from the attorney attempting to collect on this old debt with a "first request for admission" and some copies of the original contract. What does this mean? They've asked two 'questions' with regard to the original debt, and a payment I supposedly made in 1997. I'm fairly certain I made no payments in 1997, since I was living in CT then, and was in the process of switching jobs. What is this form and what should my response be? I recieved no answer to my first message, so I may post again.

: Hello,
: I was served papers regarding a nearly $15K debt from a repo of a car in 1989. After checking this site and my local law library, I filed an answer form on the civil suit, stating that the statute of limitations for the state where the original debt was incurred (Michigan) as well as the state where I now live (Connecticut) has expired, and followed up with a letter to the attorney that is handling the case stating the same thing. Today I recieved a letter stating that they recieved my answer form and wish to discuss the debt. Am I required to contact them? What will happen if I don't? I was able to look up the court records via the 'net and my answer is listed as not arguable. What exactly does that mean? What could be the final resolution for this issue?

: Thanks for the help in advance
