Do You Have Any Suggestions for My Legal Case?

Question:

Dear Steve,

JAN. 15 2020 we went to court and I requested the court to dismiss due to improper service. The debt collector says they thought the process server “Saw” me but the judge disagreed based on the paperwork and scheduled a hearing on the matter.

After this Wyoming collector mails me a copy of a motion to dismiss without prejudice which I received today and the hearing is this coming Monday Jan. 27, 2020

Do you have any suggestions for my response to their motion to dismiss without prejudice? Do you believe I have a chance of getting this dismissed WITH prejudice so the collector cannot continue their suit?

Thank you for any advice you can give.

Jason

Answer:

Dear Jason,

Here is the best advice anyone can give you on this situation. Ready; don’t ask anyone on the internet.

The only reliable source of information on this is going to be a local attorney who is licensed to practice law in your state.

It’s a legal issue, ask an attorney. Even if you have to pay a local attorney for an appointment and still represent yourself, at least you’ll have the facts.
