I have a similar question - I received a summons for pretrail from Sprechman and associates as well back in June. I sent the demand for verification letter (specifically asking for a signed contract) within the 30 day limit not once but twice with no response - I then received a summons in August with a statement attached from the collection agency (which I had previously send a demand for verification letter to as well) - I went to the pretrail and was ordered mediation - I once again demanded the verification - which court has not been postponed another two months.
