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

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
MoonDust

This not on any form, you have to type it yourself. Change the court infor, and enter the plaintiff name and yours.

Thank You
My out come. I went to the court house and filed my INTENT TO DEFEND along with 4-5 questions on it. 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.
MANY THANKS this saved me $500. Bucks

How to find out who the tip came from in a drug charge

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