State Court Action after Expiration of Statute of Limitations

Pat is correct. You must allege as affirmative defenses that each of
the statute of limitations, both two and four years have expired, and
while you are at it, add two affirmative defenses under the TILA:
"DEFENDANT is informed and believes, and based thereon alleges, that
the causes of action and claims for relief alleged in the PLAINTIFF'S
Complaint are barred by the statute of limitations of the State of
California, as set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure
Sections 337, 338, 339 and 340, et.seq." And you may also add an
affirmative defense that states: "DEFENDANT is informed and believes,
and based thereon alleges, that the causes of action and claims for
relief alleged in the PLAINTIFF'S Complaint are barred by the
applicable provisions of the Truth in Lending Act, 15 United States
Code, prohibiting the collection of debt that is barred from recovery
by applicable state law." And, do not forget the ever so popular
"DEFENDANT is informed and believes, and based thereon alleges, that
the causes of action and claims for relief alleged in the PLAINTIFF'S
Complaint are barred by the applicable provisions of the Truth in
Lending Act, 15 United States Code, requiring PLAINTIFF, at the
written request of DEFENDANT, to validate and verify the allege debt,
however, in this instance DEFENDANT made such written request upon
PLAINTIFF and its counsel, but as confirmed by a second letter to
PLAINTIFF and its counsel, such written request was not timely
responded to by PLAINTIFF or its counsel."

It was Lisa Simon and I think she is wrong. In the state court action, it
must be pleaded as an affirmative defense or you lose it.

It is actionable under both CA Rosenthal and, if not creditor collecting,
under FDCPA. It could be brought as a counterclaim, but I think it is
better to bring it later in federal court. If you are dealing with a
typical collection law firm in CA, they are completely unfamiliar with
district court.

At the 3/22/08 CDCBAA MCLE an issue was raised regarding the filing of a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired being itself actionable and not just an affirmative defense. Any authoriity for this?
