What affirmative defenses should I raise in response to a lawsuit?

Great overview of defenses. As a pro se defendant, I appreciate them.

Thank you for being here!!! Love love love ya!

Thank you for sharing! I don't think people have the money to pay people to do this now. This will go a long way in helping people are being attacked by the legal system.

Thank you Steve. Your videos are a God send.

Thank you sooooo..... much. Video and info was super helpful!

Thanks! Very Very helpful and informative

There is NOT a single law firm in Australia offering any similar YouTube legal info as opposed to you guys in North America. We desperately need someone with similar expertise to help us down here at the moment

Awsome one , thanks Steve

Thanks for excellent and clear explanations. 1. Does simply not including detailed information in a complaint (such as no date with a debt collection claim) open up opportunities for more affirmative defenses? 2. FDCPA Violations. Which affirmative defenses are most appropriate to use if there were improper contacts (by mail or phone) prior to lawsuit filing? (And there is a filed case against legal firm filing complaint so there is no need for a counterclaim.)? 3. State vs. Federal entanglements. Wisconsin Statute section 425.109(1)(h) What types of arguments weigh heaviest when there are state regulations not in harmony with Federal mandates or codes? (Such as FDCPA.)

Thank you!

God bless you sir.

Attn. Steve is a refusal of accepting full payment twice diff. time, diff. people by a Credit Union be under Repuadiation Doctrine and therefore the party making the claim have thus abandoned right to debt? and what other defense would that also fall under? Thanks alot for your knowledge and time and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

thanks Steve, but how do you counter if the person you are suing uses an affirmative defense?

what are some affirmative defenses that go with verbal agreements? My state accepts them in consumer protection code.

I'm being sued by a bank credit card and my last payment was in Dec. 2014 it is now January 2018 so would a Laches defense be a good one? (unreasonable time has passed), however it hasn't reached the 4 year statute of limitations yet.

Can you recommend a book that would have this information in it? Can you recommend an internet based attorney to ask questions on civil law for consultation only?

what if a collection agency is attempting to collect on an old medical bill and you haven't been gainfully employed since the bill ensued? is that an affirmative defense?
