Re: credit card debt

In order for a court within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to hear a dispute between parties, the plaintiff ( the person suing) must invoke the court's power and jurisdiction by having a proper officer serve the defendant (the person being sued) with a copy of a writ, summons and complaint. This needs to be done within the proper time limitations imposed by statute, within the proper court ( distict or superior court or any division therein), in the proper venue and in the manner imposed by statute for obtaining personal jurisdiction. Please feel free to contact my office for a free initial consult based on the facts of your specific situation.
