Re: Civil Complaint
Contact a consumer attorney and have them review the lawsuit. Credit card lawsuits are a little different from other lawsuits. The company has to prove every last detail in its case against you, and a good consumer attorney should be able to assist in your defense.

Time is of the essence in these matters. You must respond within a timely matter to the complaint or other notices or a judgment may be entered against you. Consult with an attorney to see if there is any defense to the complaint. If you are located near my office feel free to call for a consultation.
