Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
non-appearing summon from credit card lawyer...
A friend received a summon from a law firm for a creditcard
co saying she owes $ 2000 but she denied having this card
and she said she can prove it by her signature. She also
received a letter with copies of her signature according to
the CC co. It was not her signature. She suspects it maybe a
fraud case. Can she send a signature card to the lawyer and
have them dismiss the case. This is a non-appearing review
case. Also if she suspect a relative or friend who might be
the culprit behind the fraud, can she ask the CC co lawyer
to go after him or her or does she have to do it herself ?
Do credit card companies usually pursue a fraud case until
they find the real culprit or they only go for whoever was
on the record as the owner of the card even if he or she claim to be the victim of a fraud case ???
Any info or insights into this case is appreciated.......

make sure she answers the complaint, in writing, to the court, in proper format, filed. Or she will have a default judgment against her.
