We have recently recieved a loan in July, to pay off outstanding debts. Around that time we recieved a notice from a lawyer representing one of the collection agencies we were attempting to pay off asking us to contact with in 30 days, which we did. They said we were to send a self address stamped envelope to recieve a detailed account of the bills. We did. No response. Called again, they told us to send another one. We did.
Shortly after we were served with a summons for the two outstanding bills and the court date is September 8th, 2005. The lawsuit was filed Aug 8th, 2005, well after we had continuing contact with them. We want to pay the bills but are not going to send the money blind without knowing exactly what it is for. Should we just go to court? If I were to record a conversation getting them to admit to continued contact and their faultiness for not sending the itemized statement, would that help our case?
And, the collection agency that has hired the lawyer said we have another debt that has not gone to the lawyer, but no details on it are available, is that right?
Thanks
