Law firm Debt Collector is delaying Trial
I have a credit card debt that a law firm is litigating. We are at the stage whereby the case has gone through pretrial. I moved for the court to deny plaintiff's request for phone testimony. Now the plaintiff's attorney doesn't want to file papers to go to trial. My question is; is there a time frame that the plaintiff must file for trial, beyond which time, I can file for sanctions? Is it possible the law firm has realized they can't win this case and are delaying so that I will forget the case? If they don't have their evidence to prove their case, what are my options here to ensure they don't use this delay tactics beyond the statute. I am also contemplating counter suit if in fact they can't prove their case. I am in Colorado and I have searched through Colorado Rule 316, but have not found anything to this effect. If I could counter sue, what are grounds for this? Your help will be appreciated.
