when writing a letter to a judge because missed the window to respond to a summons, should i provide proof of the fraud for the credit card or just keep the letter short and state i can provide my evidence to support the claim
When writing a letter to the judge, it's best to keep it concise and state that you can provide evidence to support your claim of fraud. Mentioning the availability of evidence without including it in the initial letter helps maintain focus and avoids overwhelming the judge with details at this stage.
should i put in the letter that i sent a novation to the creditor in the letter to judge or no?
Including the fact that you sent a novation to the creditor in your letter to the judge can be beneficial if it is relevant to your defense. Novation indicates that there was an agreement to replace an old contract with a new one. You might briefly mention it if it supports your claim of fraud or inadequate consideration, but keep the details minimal and offer to provide evidence during the proceedings.
can you update the letter to include this?

Dear [Judge's Name],
Re: Case Number [Insert Case Number]
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address the summons regarding a credit card debt that was allegedly served at my previous address. Unfortunately, I did not receive these documents in time to respond adequately due to the change of address.
I would like to formally deny responsibility for the claimed debt. I believe this matter involves fraud and inadequate consideration, as I have never authorized or agreed to the transactions in question. Additionally, I have sent a novation to the creditor, indicating an agreement to replace the old contract with a new one. This further supports my claim of fraud and inadequate consideration.
I am requesting that the court considers my current situation and the evidence I can provide to support my claims. I kindly ask for your understanding in granting me an opportunity to present my case and rectify this situation. I am committed to resolving this matter and appreciate your attention to this request.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
