We're sorry but your question is a bit confusing to us. Can you clarify it?

We do have a page that talks about what happens if you are being sued by a debt collector. Perhaps that will help.

Sued over old debt
by: DebtCollectionAnswers.com

Sammy,

The very first thing that we would recommend you do is talk with a consumer law attorney. If the debt was indeed outside the statute of limitations, then the collector may have broken the law by suing you after they had expired. (In some states, they cannot attempt to collect a time-barred debt.) If not, you may still be able to raise the statute of limitations as a defense, and the attorney can either help you do that or perhaps advise you if you decide to represent yourself in court. The creditor will have legal representation - it's in your best interest to at least have a thorough understanding of your rights so you aren't blindsided in court.

You can find a consumer law attorney with experience in debt collection cases through NACA.net.

Do come back and tell us how this goes!
