Hello, I am also writing because I have been served legal papers. I cannot afford a lawyer to contest the motion that was sent to me. The law firm that sent the papers refuses to send me any original documentation with my signature. I am lost and I do not know what to do! The amount of money that the law firm is asking for is alot and they have not provided any true documents that they bought the contract from a credit service. I do not want a judgement placed against me! I want this taken care of, but I don't know where to start. Does any one have any idea what I shuold do? I really do not want a judgement put against me! The papers say I have 30 days to respond or they will garnish my wages without any more contact.

You must immediately draft a debt validation letter and send it to the law office's mailing address. They are bound by federal laws to give you the details of the debt in writing. Unless they are able to provide you this info, they cannot sue you without a court order. Send the letter through certified mail and keep one copy for your records. If they intend to take legal actions, show the receipt and the validation copy to the judge and put a subject of your dispute. The judge will force them to validate your account before making any collection attempts.

Please give us all the information you can. There are members here that can help you! Be sure to answer that summons within the time alloted. When you mail it, send it Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested.
If you don't answer they will get a judgement by default.

Yes, send the validation letter. If you're being sued, you have the right to know everything they are holding against you. Also, in California, there are verious ready-made forms that you can use to get information out of them as a part of the discovery phase. They can be found online. Do respond to the complaint.
