Any help greatly appreciated. Received a very brief Petition served to me 1 week ago that PRA wants $$ from an old Home Depot/Citibank account that we tried to pay in full with HD after falling behind. My mother was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and she had no resources other than me to care for her so in the midst of this, working, family, and care, we fell behind. HD would not accept our payment and said they had sent to collection agency after adding about $350 in fees. So now, this. The only facts are: On or about..... date of last payment (on or about), credit account was closed and charged off, was assigned to PRA, etc. They are looking for $790 + court costs (50ish $). THey have not contacted me, as they mention they have under Conditions Precedent. They are stating under E. Plaintiff is entitled to recover on an account stated claim because (1) transactions between the Original Creditor and Defendant(s) gave rise to the indebtedness, (2) there existed an agreement between the Original Creditor and Defendant (s) which established the amount due to the Original Creditor and )3) the defendant (s) promised to pay the Original Creditor on the indebtedness. Not sure exactly how to respond to this but help is greatly appreciated. I'm all for paying my bills but this is ridiculous and a frivolous waste of taxpayer $$. Please help me!
