Anonymous Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 I just received a summons from the civil court in mail that I'm being sued by an attorney representing a CA which happens to be an assignee of OC. I have 8 days left to answer to court according to the filed date. I don't remember getting any collections letters from the attorney as I usually just toss away junk looking mails without opening.....What should I do now? Should I mail a validation letter to the attorney or should I just ask for it at court? Any help will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanmorganusa Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 I would send a validation letter to the lawyer and send a letter outlining what you said to the court. They have to prove that they tried to reach you before and I KNOW they didn't send them all CMRRR. They have to follow some sort of procedure. Dang.

Anonymous Posted August 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Thanks for the advice....another question tho..I received my summons in the mail. I only opened it because the name and address was hand written...not computer generated like junk mail. It is proper tho? I thought they have to be hand delivered or CR with my receipt signature. If that's the case should I just ignore the summons for now and try to vacate the judgement later on the grounds that there is no receipt on summons served?TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaboy Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Its just a thought, but have you verified with the court that there is indeed a case pending, could be the CA is trying to pull something on ya, maybe like,,,, Dont sue me, Ill pay.

Anonymous Posted August 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 If I go to the court with the papers to verify, wouldn't that serve as a proof of service in a way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
