Question

Unsure


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL

I was sued last year for a credit card debt that was my Father's. They sued for a Motion for Summary Judgment. I fought it and the Motion was withdrawn by the attorney because they felt my opposition response would not allow the Judge to grant it. The letter I received from the lawyer back then said that they would not be submitting a Summary Judgment to the court. I received that letter a year ago. Nothing else has happened since.

Today I got a letter titled Notice of lack of Prosecution. It says that because of the inactivity Pursuant to rule 1.420(e) the case MAY be dismissed by the court on its own motion. That there is a 60 day window to file something with the court to keep the case active. I looked at my county website and see that a hearing has been scheduled with a Judge the first week of February. It says CC Abatement, which from what I looked up is just it being dismissed? Not sure.

But the question in all of this is does anyone know if I have to do anything? I am assuming that I have to go to this Hearing. But does anyone out there know if there is anything else I should be doing?

Sorry so long and Thanks for your time and help!!

Question

something to add~

The company that has sued me, started calling me again about a month or so ago, trying to collect the debt. Does anyone know if that is common when a lawsuit has been filed and they are supposed to be represented by an attorney?? Seems not right to me but I haven't a clue!
