    You need to go back to the company you are working with. They should have informed you of the creditor was not cooperating. They can tell you how to proceed. But if the creditor won't cooperate and you can't reach a settlement with them. Then you may have consider more drastic alternatives.

    Generally a summons must be answered in 30days. Since the original notes was posted 12/7 I'm sure the court data has come and gone.

    Creditors are not always willing to settle.
