Hello everyone, hoping to get some advice on my following case. Was served by Suttell and Hammer for a Discover Card debt on the 28th of January, and have been trying to research as much as possible before taking next steps (have a couple weeks left to respond).
Details of case as follows:
- Named Plantiff: Discover Bank
- Name of Law Firm: Suttell and Hammer
- Amount sued for: $13,xxx.xx
- Original creditor: Discover Bank
- Was served on 1/28/2019
- Served by person coming to my residence
- No correspondence before being served/sued
- Live in Orange County, CA
- Last time paid account: around 1.5 years ago
- Opened account more than 4 years ago
- SOL on account: For CA, believe it is 4 years
- Status on case: served 1/28/2019, nothing on my end has been filed or done as of yet
Would like to ask for some advice on how to proceed with this case. If I should contact Suttell and Hammer to discuss a settlement offer or, as I’ve read in other posts, follow through with the case, ask for evidence from Discover and then try to fight it to the end?
Thank you in advance!
