What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
My fiancé was served a "summons" and a "complaint" the day before yesterday at our residence for a old credit card debt from 2007 that was acquired by an LLC.
The paperwork is very unprofessional; not notarized (not sure if it has to be?), and no court dates or filing dates anywhere on either unprofessionally photocopied document.
The only date I could find was where it was signed by an attorney on December 12, 2013 more than a year ago.
If it is indeed a valid debt we are more than willing to pay it but what I want to know is if it is a scam of some sort; how to identify it and how to deal with the "plaintiff".
I did call the 1800-number of the attorney listed and he assured me it was a legal summons and valid debt, which is exactly what I would expect from a real lawyer or a scammer.
Please help, any advice would be greatly appreciated we have a new baby and life is already hectic enough for a lawsuit to shine its unhappy light our way.
Thanks in advance
