i have received letters stating they were notified of a lawsuit filed in the district clerks office of the county i live in from Cach, LLC. I have not received a summons. Should i attempt a letter of validation at this point?

Hello I was wondering what to do about a collections agency that recently served my boyfriend on my behalf with a notice to appear in court to be sued buy a law firm on behalf of my original creditor. As you can tell were way past the corespondance part. :0( However the notice simply state to show up to court 20 days from the dated the letter was recieved if I was personally served OR 30 days if it wasnt directly served to me. Now… I just wrote a letter asking for validation of this debt and sent it registered mail. How do I know when I am suppose to show up for court, should I wait for more corespondence? I know that they are not allowed to continue to persue suit untils request in the letter have been forefilled but since when does that ever stop anyone? The letter was filed at the courthouse a whole month before my boyfriend was even served (for me). Should I attempt to contact the court? I know to only contact the law firm / creditor via mail both to and from, I stated that in my letter. I dont want them to mark a judgement against me in the meantime. SOS

I have been sued by a debt collector. my court date has been changed several times,i now have a court date for July 5th, i took out a line of credit in 2006 for 15,000 i paid them almost 400 a month for 2 years and llost my job.i paid them back 10,500 now they are saying i owe them almost 20,000. which i disagree with.my question is i have contacted the original biller and they stated that my account has been sent to a collection agency in GA ( fred Hanna assoc,) but the attorney who sued me is from NC,totally different agency.. i do not owe 20,000. and when i got the line of credit i did it by phone, there is no signature but the attorney has send me copies of my payment history. i have written an affividavit based on i never entered into a contract with the collection agency and the fact that i never communicated with them until i received the summons in the mail….what can i do
