Civil Action

[Wallaby]

Being sued in a Civil Action by old credit card account.
I've filed and answer in District Court,also requested discovery documentation. I've received a response
from their lawyer for more discovery documentation. I don't know how to proceed from here. Should I send it back to them denying everything or ???

You can't deny discovery. Give them what they asked for.

Won't that be used against me especially since they denied discovery request from me in a court filed answer?

You can certainly object to discovery, especially if it is overbroad. What is being asked? I will remind you of this - if you have no defense and this is just a stall tactic, you'll be paying a whole lot more in the end for the cost in time and effort to just render a decision that everyone knows is the only proper and just decision. I say this because many here claim all sorts of rights with regard to credit loans, etc. and most just have fallen under harder times and can't pay, which is not a valid defense. Good luck.

PS - yes, anything you provide can be used against you in court but you need a good reason to object to providing something requested pursuant to a valid discovery motion.
