sued by payday loan

Hi i need some help i got a call from a lady that said she was sending papers to my court house so i could be sued for a payday load that is 3yrs old. My lawyer offered them a payout 3 yrs ago and they wouldnt take it . So she told me to just forget it. andlet it ride. So i did now 3 yrs later they are saying that i am going to have to go to court . My court in town has no papers on it. But this lady gave me a case number . Then she transfered me to hardship department and a man talked to me and he wanted me to agree to a payment plan and i told him that i didnt know what he was talking about and where are the papers that they are suppose to have at the court house cause i called the court house and they dont have any and he said well i think you are mistaking and i said no i am not it is on my answer machine that you all sent papers to my court house and i am being sued so why havent i been surved? He came back and said you are mistaking cause the papers havent left our office yet and if they had we wouldnt be able to talk to you. I told him to do what ever he wanted that i would wait for the papers and for him to have a nice day and hung up.
