I received a summons with assigned amount of 9999.99 and accrued interest of 4926.57 with a total due of 14926.56...the court website says that they can sue up to 9999.99 so how is it possible to add in the interest bringing the amount up to 14926.56?
Also, this is for a credit card that had a limit of 7500, so should I dispute the validity of the amount they are suing for? I'm sure late fees were calculated in etc, but I don't see how this can be correct.


You should first file an answer to the summon in order to avoid default judgment. After filing the response, you can send a debt validation letter to the creditor. Unless the creditor validates the debt, a judgment cannot be brought against you. Moreover, if there is a judgment against you, it will not exceed $$9999.99. The creditor need to give you the details of the debt including principle amount, interest and other charges while validating the debt.

Yea, going today to file an answer, I just don't understand how the last page of the summons says assigned amount 9999.99 Accrued interest 4926.57 Total Due 1496.56 - are they just eating that interest in order to sue me for the 9999.99?
Also, it states at an interest rate 18% Per Annum, in my answer can I say something about this as I read the state max in the state of AZ is 10%?
