Trapezius Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hello, I was served a summons by "Convergence LC". Their claim is that I owe roughly $700 for a credit card debt due to an over-drafted account. My account(s) with US BANK was closed in 2009. I am not sure if the SOL is in fact valid. Their claim is false due to various reasons. Pertinent Information Below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
