I got a notice last night of a summons to Arbitration some time in sept. I think PA is unique in that they are forced to go through this rather then an actual trial to save court costs/ time ,etc. I think I need to file a response to this right away, but I am a bit lost as to what to do. I see the lawyer sites(and was even contacted out of the blue by one) and of course they all claim that I should always use them, and NEVER try to do anything on my own. This debt is valid, and they really did follow things through to the letter, so i have no hope of getting anything vacated due to threats, etc. I stupidly didn't try and work with them on a settlement, and I am assuming its futile to try and talk to them now? I assume my course of action is to respond with my answer to prevent a default judgement, and just take my order to pay in sept at the hearing? Or would a debt lawyer really make any kind of difference?

I've gotten a letter stating the usual 'we are suing you' etc, and i filed a motion of appearance to stop any default judgements. But looking at my bank account now, i see that there is a $200 'check' made out from my account to the collection company. Its NOT a written check, so i assume electronic. Looking at the online court records, i see my notice of appearance, and NO judgements listed... so how are they able to do anything ?

I just need a little reminding on the procedure to follow here: My wife got a lawsuit filed against her, and I got an 'intent to defend' filed with the court. In the meantime, she paid them a 'good faith' payment (without my knowledge) to them. Now she never got anything in writing or even asked for them to halt legal action ,etc. They acknowledge the payment, but i also got a notice that they have won a default judgement against her, dispite the filing. The court needs a reminder of this, right ? EDIT: I should say that it was just a notice to defend, but that should get me to the hearing date and prevent a default judgement, right?
