I never signed any contract with the CA that purchased my account stating that I would pay them. What validation showing I owe them this money do they need to have and how likely is it they'll have it? I don't know what to do.

Confirm the SOL of your state where the account was opened. From the last payment date, the SOL will be calculated and it will determine whether the company can sue you. If the statutes have expired, they lose their grounds.

Without seeing the papers I can't tell you the response, but generally it's just a matter of saying "I agree (or disagree) with paragraph (or section) One... etc. and state some of your reasons. Most of all, be sure to show up for the court date, or they could be granted a judgment by default. Some states have laws, in which the judge would consider your financial situation. Too bad that debt buyer is trying to shake you down, it's a rip off. If it is from 2004, most likely the SOL hasn't run (although there are a couple of states with a 3 year SOL).
Received court summons from credit card co
Looking at these court papers again (I am in California), it says "you have 30 CALENDAR DAYS after this summons and legal papers are served on you to file a written response at this court and have a copy served on the plaintiff. A letter or phone call will not protect you." It also says that "your written response must be in proper legal form if you want the court to hear your case" - what do they mean by "if I want the court to hear my case?" The court date is already set for Aug. 15. Apparently, there is also a filing fee for my response, and it says that "if you do not file your response on time, you may lose the case by default, and your wages, money, and property may be taken without further warning from the court." Now I'm really freaked out - I have no money for an attorney, but make too much salary to be given one.
A new development, I just now checked my voice messages, and there is a message from the law office that is suing me to call them. Should I? This is all so confusing - I don't know what to do.
After looking at the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, should I send the attorneys a letter asking them to validate the debt by providing me with the name & address of the original creditor, showing me that this debt was sold to them, and how they calculated the amount I owe them, as well as a complete payment history, a letter of agreement that bears my signature, and a letter of sale or assignment from the original creditor to their company? Or is this all something to be put in the response letter to the court? HELP!

I am R90 000 in arrears with my house bond. Their legal department claim they have served me with summon papers, but I did not see or sign them. What are the posibilities to successfully defend this as I feel it was totally unfair.

You need to check with the county courthouse and find out how and when the papers were served. You could use improper service as a defense, but they will probably just re-serve and start over again.
