Discovery requests in consumer debt cases

Plain-English overview of document requests, interrogatories, admissions, objections, and deadlines to verify.

What this helps with

Use this after a lawsuit is open and the user needs to understand what discovery can request and why local timing rules matter.


What to look for

  • Whether discovery is allowed in that court and case type
  • Deadlines for serving discovery and responding to discovery
  • Documents needed to prove contract, ownership, balance, notices, and witnesses
  • Local limits on number of requests, format, objections, and certificate of service

Suggested next steps

  1. Add discovery deadlines to reminders.
  2. Open templates filtered to the Discovery stage.
  3. Build interrogatories or requests for production from the case page.
