    That's not the process. A creditor files suit in court against the debtor. A summons is then issued and served on the debtor requiring them to answer the summons. The debtor then answers the summons either fighting the suit or not. If they don't fight a default judgement is entered. Once they get a judgement the creditor can use that judgement to seize assets and income from the debtor.

    You shouldn't send payments without an agreement. You also should only be dealing with them by mail.

    There are lots of threads in this forum that deal with what to do if you recevied a summons about a suit over debt. I suggest you review those threads and if you have any additional questions feel free to add a follow-up to this thread.
