    Sued by Capital One in Maine they said I didn't answer questions in timely manner
    Hi I have a question. I live in Maine.

    I am being sued for an outrageous amount by capital one. The original debt was said to be $2200 but the total with interest and fees is well over $11,000.

    When I received the papers I filed a validation request, a letter of denial and a letter of discovery. They then filed an extension. They filed another extension and with it they filed a letter of discovery. I filed an extenstion. The extension for 90 days was granted in December to Capital One. I assumed (I guess wrongfully) that the extension was also for me which would give me 90 days from January. I haven't heard if it was approved or denied or thrown out (my extension).

    Anyway they now filed paperwork stating I didn't answer my discovery questions so therefore they should win because they assume all information is true since I didn't answer the discovery questions.

    Now what? Should I go to the clerks and see if my extension was granted or denied? Again I haven't heard from the judge if it was or wasn't. If it was denied or ignored or thrown out and I didn't answer the discovery questions (thinking I had 90 days) is it to late? Can I ask that this be taken to trial? If so do I answer the discovery questions then ask this being taken to court then? Or do I ask if this can go to court and not answer the discovery questions. And what do I search under or where do I look for how to request it be taken to court. Furthermore there discovery answers were vague and they objected to a lot of them saying the information was irrelevant. A lot has been going on I may have missed the deadline. I was just laid off, just found out I have precancerous cells that need to be removed and have a test to see how invasive the cancer is on Monday. I'm sure stress is not an excuse for not answering the discovery questions. So anyone have any ideas?

    You need to contact the courthouse immediately and find out what's going on. It seems you've completely lost track of where the case is at and if you don't find out what's scheduled, you could end up getting a default judgment placed against you.
