    Served with civil and small claims summons but the case does not exsist?
    Hello, About a month ago a civil court summons was left in my doorway for a credit card debt that never belonged to me. Then about two weeks ago the same law firm sent another small claims summons for the same debt.

    I have been checking the court listed on the summons website list of civil and small claims cases every day since and there is nothing about this on there. I even called the civil courts clerk's office and they found nothing. The return date on the civil summons is 4/15. The return on the small claims is 4/2

    Why would they pay to file these suits and pay a marshall to deliver them if there is no suit at the court house?

    Any help or advise would be very helpful to me because I don't really know how to handle this.

    I have no idea but I keep hearing people say they have a judgment against them and never even heard of a court date so it may be some new scam to claim you missed a court date and so lost. These companies are getting trickier and trickier so it could be something new they are pulling. How or what or why they are doing that I don't know but must be their newest scam.
