I received a summons from California Service Bureau,Inc. about a $ 5112.31 debt from Seton Medical Center and would like to know how to respond to it. I wasn't given an itemized explanation of what the debt was for. A lawyer's office filed the case and while I'm waiting for him to call me back about this matter, I'd like to get feedback from the experts on how to deal with this type of situation.

There are dozens of threads on this subject in this forum as well as the Bankruptcy & Debt and Small Claims foums. I suggest you browse through those forums and read some of the information.

If you have any specifric questions please feel free to ask.
