My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: California. Hi there! I was served tonight with a summons from Zwicker and Associates in regards to a debt to american express from 2005. This "summons" is a photocopy and the case # has been altered and messed with. Today is August 5th and they filed it on May 5th!!! Also, when I go to the court's website, it says there is no record of my case. Another thing: on page 2, they enclosed a note with a mini miranda that this is an attempt to collect a debt and I can contact them to make payment arrangements! Can they go so low as to try to serve a fake summons to scare me? help!!
