I have an account in collections and I sent the collection agency a CMRR letter for debt validation. Well, the collection agency never answered back and yesterday I received summons from my local court house. I checked online and it’s a valid case pending. I contacted a NACA lawyer and I asked about them not validation my debt. The lawyer says they (collection agency) can always answer the complaint in the discovery process. I thought it was illegal for a collection agency to continue with the case without debt validation?
