Civil Summons are USUALLY served by process servers. These are often civilians who get paid by the piece for each summons served. There is no requirement that a process be a law enforcement officer, or be in uniform.

The OP needs to check with the clerk of court to see if an actual lawsuit has been filed. It is a common scam for collectors to fabricate a summons and have a debt collector employee "serve" it. Be sure a lawsuit has actually been filed. That summons MUST have a CASE#/Docket# on it to be valid.

STAY OFF THE PHONE!! NEVER speak to any debt collector on the phone! NEVER!!!

If the summons is valid and a lawsuit has actually been filed, you MUST repond to it as required by law in your state. Failure to do so alows them to win by default and get a judgement against you.

When you respond, simply state you have no knowledge of any such debt and have never done business with any of the parties mentioned. DENY EVERYTHING.

Then if they do not dismiss before the court date, you need to GET A LAWYER and get a MOTION TO DISMISS filed on the basis of "Not my account".

They must prove everything, and you must prove nothing. DO NOT give them ANY information at all.

Good luck.

For starters, there's a statute of limitations on nearly all civil litigation. It would be of interest to determine if this (alleged upcoming) action is even within same. If not, tell 'em to go FXXX off just for starters.
.
That's aside from the fact, as you explain it, it sounds bogus to from the start. It would be wise to confirm with the issuing court and judge if this's even a legitimate court issued dictate and doocument. A "summons" would have the issuing court identified.
.
I would normally expect any court summons to be delivered by some kind of uniformed or otherwise identified law dog, not just "a man".
.
It would also be my opimion that any offer of settlement or compromise would be tendered PRIOR to initiating the actual collection proceedings in a court of law. (Again, assuming this's a legit. issue).

Sounds like a new tactic being used by alleged collection scum.

Instead of trying to weasel cash out of you before suing, their just cutting their losses and going straight to court as an intimidation tactic. Then, if someone "settles" and doesn't go to court-thinking they now don't have to-they get a judgment against them and have to pay even more.
I'm sure someone will be able to help here. You could also try to get advise from an attorney at NACA.com. Just search for one in your state.
