Summons question

[blyonz04]

Been trying to get some info on the summons and complaint i recieved and came across this

"If, however, the document has a disclaimer saying it is an effort to collect a debt, then it is not a summons."

My summons contains just that in large bold letters under the header, can anyone confirm this? Lvnv llc. Is the collector

What is the name of your state?

LVNC, LLC has a bit of a checkered history when it comes to their debt collection practices.

You started another thread yesterday. Is that a different collections action? Here is a link to that thread: https://forum.freeadvice.com/debt-collections-84/recieved-summons-not-sure-if-its-legit-machol-johannes-llc-638976.html

It is preferred on this forum that all related questions are kept to a single thread.

Washington state, oops ya your right ill go back to original post.

You have mentioned two different debt collection agencies in your threads. LVNV, LLC is not Machol & Johannes.

Are you being pursued by more than one collection agency for more than one delinquent debt?

Its Lvnv llc vs Me in the summons header, the attorney for them is from machol & johannes llc

Is there a court name and location at the top of the pages?
Is there a case number on the pages?
Is it signed by a judge or court clerk?

If yes to those questions, call the courthouse, give the case number and confirm that the case is on file.

Thank you for clarifying.

I agree with adjusterjack that you should contact the court to see if you are actually being sued or if what you received is just a debt collection letter (which, if so, would appear to violate the FDCPA).

The top says In the superior court for the state of washington in and for the county i live in , there is no location or address of court, no case number and not signed by either judge or clerk.

Im filing a answer with the plaintiff attorney regardless if this legit or not, to cover my end of this so they cant just default judgement.

Did you contact the court?

 

[blyonz04]

Ya there is no number or my name in the system

It would be unwise to send them an "answer" at this point if you haven't actually been sued

From what i understand they can serve you here in washington state without it being filed with the court first
