Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Re: Summon for Credit Card debt

What happened to the first summons and lawsuit? Was the first lawsuit dismissed, and the subsequent one filed for the same debt? Or, is the second lawsuit an entirely different debt? The filing of the lawsuit prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations avoids that defense - in otherwords, if they have filed and proceed to judgment, you cannot use the statute of limitations as a defense to the lawsuit. The question of filing for bankruptcy requires a lot more information to answer. If you are in the southern California area, call my office and we can discuss it.
