What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA
I had a credit card which I paid off in 2006 and asked several times for the credit card company to close my account. After making several calls they said my account was closed. Six months later I get this credit card in the mail. Thinking it was a credit card that I already had an account with(they look similar)and not even thinking about the other card,,,since I thought it was closed. I used the card. Then I get the statement in the mail. Well imagine my surprise. I started paying it again. Really upset with myself. About 3 months later the company I worked for went bankrupt and I had to find employment. My payments fell behind. I called all my credit card companies and worked out payments. When I get to this company they had already assigned it to an attorney. I call the attorney and try to work something out and they said they would call me back. I never heard from them again until I was served papers to go to court. I am going to fight this and just wondering what I should do. I know to file with the court and those procedures and I am writing a letter to the attorney. But then what. Any info would be most helpful.
