I don't know what to do, if anybody has answers please let me know. Thank you

    What you do is answer the summons with an Intent to Defend letter requesting a hearing. The letter can state that you don't believe you owe anything.

    You then send a copy of that letter to the plaintiff with a request for verification of the debt.

    At the hearing, unless the plaintiff has provided proof of the debt, you can ask for a dismissal.

    If you don't show up they will get a default judgement and then WILL garnish your salary. So not responding would be a big mistake.

    There are dozens of threads in this and other forums that give furthjer advice on this situation.
