If you received a summons in the mail for a credit card debt that's over 6 years old but it does not give you the address of the court to answer is this a valid summons from a debt collector?

A lawsuit summons be an official document that has the name of the court, the docket or case number, the name of the plaintiff and the defendant, the date, time, and place the defendant should appear and so forth. At the bottom of the "summons" will be the name and contact information of the plaintiff's attorney an official state court seal and the signature of the clerk or deputy clerk of the court. Debt collectors cannot file a lawsuit and obviously cannot issue a summons for said suit. A lawsuit can only be filed by an attorney licensed to practice in the debtor's state. A summons or subpoena of any sort can only be issued by the court. Any agency or agent attempting to falsify such a document is guilty of a criminal offense and can be subject to severe penalties in a court of law.

What does a summons to common pleas court look like?

Believe me! You'll know it when you see one. However, they all appear slightly different, not only from state-to-state but from court system to court system, so there is no way to give you a specific description. Civil summonses are basically the same whether they are issued by a state or federal court. At the very top of the summons will be the name of the issuing court. Such as, District Court Of The United States_____Judicial District or Supreme Court of the State of______County of_____ or Circuit Court for the County of______State of_____ and so on. It will contain the docket and case number, the names of the plaintiff(s) and defendants(s), the date for appearance, the purpose of the summons, the complaint, etc. At the bottom of the summons it will have the signature of the court clerk and sometimes deputy clerk and the official embossed seal of the court. Summonses for jury duty or those issued by an agency such as the IRS are somewhat different, but they all are on official letterheads with all the pertinent information and they all will have official embossed seals of the court and/or government agency.

How do you answer a summons for a credit card debt?

First, make sure that the document you received is actually a summons to appear. A summons must contain a docket number and a court date. Many collection agencies or collection attorneys use a summons as a scare tactic, in order to get you to pay your defaulted amount. However, if it's an actual summons to appear, the last thing you want to do is not show up. If you don't appear, the plaintiff will get a default judgment from the court. With a judgment in their favor, they may garnish your wages or freeze your assets in order to collect on the defaulted amount.


What if I don't show up for jury duty?

Call the number on your summons, or if you've lost that, look in the blue section of your White Pages for Jury Administration.
