Need Affirmative Defense for repo law suit...

[spooby72]

I contested the claim my credit union is suing me for and now I have to file an answer with the court in 10 days.

What do I list in the Affirmative Defense fields? I am contesting only to extend this issue before I file before I get a judgment slapped on me for the amount.

Any ideas?

Yeah, go see an attorney? Your question is beyond the scope of this forum, this forum relates to bankruptcy and your asking for technical legal advice about how to defend a civil lawsuit.

However, to point you in the right direction, one affirmitive defense you will want to plead is

The plaintiff failed to mitigate their damages. (which is an open ended defense whereby you are essentially alleging they didn't sell the car for enough money).
