About a month and a half ago I received a summons to district court from the sherriff's dept, to the tune of some $1800,Palisades being the plaintiff. After reading these forums, I realized it must be for an old ATT acct. We had cancelled the acct 3 years ago, at the end of our contract term, so there should have been no canclellation fees. My bill was usuall $120 a month, but to my knowledge, all was paid. I have not received any notification from ATT of an outstanding debt, etc. Well, I contacted the court and told them I intended to defend. My court date was coming up this Monday, the 13th. Well, lo and behold, yesterday I received notice in the mail that they had withdrawn the case and it was dismissed without prejudice. What bothers me here is, I don't owe this debt, however, had I not done something, they would have gotten a judgement against me for all that money! Don't they have to show some type of validation to request a court date? I think of all the people that probably don't show up for this, and think of all the illegitate judgments this company is probably accrueing and it bothers me....
