Making payments on a past due credit card
I owe a credit card company and the company has turned my account over to a law firm for collection. I have made a $25.00 payment to the law firm in each of the last three months. I sent them postal money orders. The law firm has now filed suit against me even though I made the monthly payments. I am 86 years old and just barely surviving on social security. As far as I know they have not refused these payments. I owe them around 2,500. In responding to the lawsuit is there any merit in explaining that I have been making payments on this account? They have not returned the payments I made and I have had no correspondence from them.
