Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

stipulation of discontinuance
Had a cc bill that was turned over to
a law firm. Paid what the
original correspondence asked for and
then they wanted another $520
which they said was for legal fees for
going to court. I was never served a
summons by them, cannot find the
index number that would match my
name etc. , court has no record of
judgment against me. Wrote the firm a letter asking for
explanation. Yesterday, one year
later, received a letter for Stipulation
of discontinuance and asking me to
sign one and return it to law firm, and
take another copy to court and pay a
$35 fee. Court has no record and I
don't know what this is. Should I
sign it? What is a stipulation of discontinuance?

Re: stipulation of discontinuance

A stipulation to discontinue an action is just that, an agreement that an action should be discontinued.

I cannot think of a reason why you should not sign and return the document.
