Re: collection agency lawsuit

You need to get proof of your payment to the original creditor. Cancelled check, money order, etc. Present the same to the creditor attempting to collect the debt. If they fail to accept the proof, attempt to find a consumer attorney who may look into filing a claim for violation of the fair debt collection practices act.
