Re: question
The fact the credit card debt is charged off has nothing to do with whether the debt can be collected. Charging off a debt is an accounting process.
If you were served a summons, you weren't requested to do anything. I recommend you re-read the summons - you have 20 days to respond or suffer the consequences of not doing so.
