    Letter for Discovery
    I was advised by Mr. Yet to request DISCOVERY on credit card debt that I have been served with a summons. I have my Intent to Defend ready to take to court house tomorrow. Now I need to know do I get the papers at the court house for discovery or do I write them out myself. I need a guide to go by. If Mr. Yet can provide me with one I would greatly appreciate it. Or any one else that has the information. I live in Ga. If this matters.:
    THANKS

    Send Discovery after the Notice of Intent to Defend. Send it to the Plainitff attorney, do not send to the court.

    Mr. Yet,
    I am sorry to be so (dumb) on this but do I use this form or can I go to court house and get a form or online? Also do I file the Discovery with the court and have the Attorney served or send a certified letter of Discovery to him? This you sent me looks like a court doc. Also on the Intent to Defend do I ask questions or just file the Intent?
    THANKS SO MUCH Mr.Yet

Now I went to the law library to look up the codes and rules for filing DISCOVERY in my court house. I have those and I am going to retype this Document you sent and fill in the proper codes and rules #'s and send it to the Attorney. The court also told me to mail a copy of the Intent to Defend to the attorney. This I am suspose to wait and see if and what happens.

    That person will probably testify at trial - your Attorney can get the name in some cases, pre trial.
