How to respond to a court summon
Hi, all,
Please help...
I received a court summon today (sept 26th, 2008), which states that I am being sued by Brachfeld & Associates (plaintiff CACH, LLC) for a debt of $1125.00 that I owned them plus interests. I have 30 days to respond, but in the court letter, it said it was filed on Aug 22nd, 2008, so it's passed 30 days, but I just received the letter today (sept 26th, 2008). It said on the envolope that they sent it on Sept 26th. What am I supposed to do now?
Moreover, I have evidence showing that I already paid Brachfeld & Associates $1392.40 on March 13th. The lady told me my case was resolved and closed, so I was so surprised and angry when I saw this court summon.
I've been trying to call them for hours today, but the lines are all busy.
Should I respond the court now, but now it's 30 days after the court letterwas issued (Aug 22nd, 2008) . However I just received this letter today (Spet 27th, 2008). It said on the envolope that they sent it on Sept 26th.
Any ideas how to deal with this.
Thanks,
Carl
