Re: False statement by Creditor

You've run into some aggressive (and lying) collectors. That is not unheard of. If the debt (assuming from a credit card) is more than 4 years old and you haven't paid within 4 years, the statute of limitation might have expired. You probably should not divulge any personal information!

DO NOT let the lawsuit slide. Consult with an attorney and file an appropriate and timely response with the court, and have it served by mail on plaintiff's attorney.
