Now, about your preoblem... What state do you live in, and when did you last make a charge or payment on the account? Have you checked with the court to verify that there is actually a case filed against you? Bogus summonses are sometimes used (illegally) as a scare tactic. Are you being sued by the original creditor (the card company) or a collection agency, and who is it?

Cab, Uncle is right. Fake summons can be used as a scare tactic
Cab, Uncle is right. Fake summons can be used as a scare tactic by the collection companies. You must check it with the court clerk before arranging any payment.
Next, you must file an answer to the summon. The collector may end up getting a default judgment against you if you chose to ignore the summon.
