I may have missed the deadline to respond and I do not have the filing fee anyway, so I was wondering if you have ever heard of a collector being successful and following through with such a small suit before? I remember reading somewhere that even if they get a default judgment, they usually do nothing about it, they are just trying to scare you into paying.
Any help or advice regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time. :o
Sounds like you believe the lawsuit is frivolous to me.
If you believe that you shouldn't be responsible for your debt, you were hoping that the company would write it off, because you believe that this is a small amount not worthy of their efforts to collect. I would imagine that if that did that for you, they would have to do that for many. Not making money, writing off debts
is not how a company makes money.
