    Default Received a summons for being sued

    I just received a notice from the courts that I am being sued for two different credit cards. One is from within the last couple of years and the other is from many years ago. I don't have any idea as to when the last payment was made on the older card and I have checked my credit report and it is no longer on there. I'm pretty sure the statue has run out on this one, but since this is no longer on my credit report, how can I find out dates on this? Also I need to answer this notice. Do I send the lawyer listed on the papers from the courts a request for validation on these accounts and then file a copy of that letter with the courts? Thank you for your help as I can not afford an attorney.

    Default Sued Over Credit Card Debt

    The complaint should describe the debt. If it does not then you should see if the plaintiff's lawyer will provide documentation. One way or another, raise the statute of limitations in your answer to the complaint. With all due respect to your concerns about cost, you would benefit from consulting a lawyer.
