Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

car repossessed three years ago

I have to go to court tomorrow at the magistrate's offce. A debt collector attorney is seeking almost $7.000 from a 1997 Malibu that we ''bought'' in 2000 and was reposessed in 2004 - we heard NOTHING from them for over three years until we got the notice to appear in court. Are there any ''technicalities'' that could help me possibly win this case? Thank you.
