Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in North Carolina

Civil Summons

I live in North Carolina and was served a civil summons for an old credit card debt. Is it to late to send a letter of validation to the attorney and collection agency? Also, the summons is asking for an answer. I have searched the web for examples of such a letter and cannot find one. I am very nervous over this. I know if my employer finds out I will probably lose my job. Please help.

Re: Civil Summons

I would probably recommend talking with an attorney. You could try legal aid first. You need to respond within 30 days of service and you need to do certain things properly. You can also try the National Consumer Law Center - they may have some publications that could help you. Feel free to contact my office also.
