What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
I got papers today saying that I am being sued, by a collection agency from Missouri, however the are suing me in Jay County court, in Indiana. I have not lived in Indiana in 3 years... I live in Virginia. I dont know what the debt is for because I have never been contacted regarding this debt at all, until now. It is not on my credit report and I am suspecting that is because they have my last name spelled incorrectly on the paperwork. I cannot make it to Indiana for a court date, that is a 10 hour drive without kids.... with kids in the dead of winter, this is a two day trip for me. I dont know who I should contact, whether I should call the courthouse or the place filing suit against me and everything I see online says to consult an attorney before contacting anyone. Can anyone help with any sort of advice. Thank you!
