Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Being sued for defaulting on a lease loan that we never got

We are being sued for a default on a Equipment Lease loan that we never took. We cancelled all transactions before anything took place. How can a company Sue someone for money if they never took the loan out, nor received money from anyone. They are stating that we are leasing a piece of equipment from them and we never lease anything through them. the only paper we signed was for them to find us a lease company, but we canceled before anything was done. SO frustrating. I cant see getting sued for money we never took.

thankyou

Re: Being sued for defaulting on a lease loan that we never got

Anyone can sue anyone for anything and can win if the person being sued does not respond properly. If you have been served by a SUMMONS, then it must be ANSWERED. You must prepare for trial and either have the case dismissed or have a judgment for the defendant. Once you obtain a favorable judgment, then you may have a case for malicious prosecution or abuse of process for the damages incurred due to the baseless suit.
