for medical equipmment. Half of the materal was damaged and returned. How do respond to ths SUMMONS? He s nnocent, he never sgned nor ordered ANYTHNG....I DiD. Help me....

Answer
Shirley:
Thank you for your inquiry. I regret that you are in such a complex situation. Based on the information you provided, it would appear that the creditor (plaintiff) has your fiances name as a responsible party for the debt. You did not provide detail as to the status of the business or what was done to remedy the outstanding debt prior to this. You seem to have returned goods for credit, and if you were credited properly should have reduced your liability. I believe at this point the best you can do is gather up all your records in regards to this payable and go hire an attorney to sort this all out. You may have a legitimate reason or dispute as to the claim or the fact that your fiance was not an officer of the business. I wish you the best and hope that you can resolve this through legal assistance.

Respectfully,

Christine Janklow
