I believe "Anonymous" is correct on this. Plus if you were being served a summons, they do not call, they just show up. Also,a summons does NOT require a signature, just an answer, in writing, to the courts. They probably would rather you call them back and see if they can get anything(monetary) out of you, especially if the debt has passed the SOL in your state. Make sure to research when and if the SOL has been met in your state. If Anon is correct and this is a bottom-feeder, the odds are the SOL has passed. Doesn't mean they will not attempt to sue, but like anon said, it will be dismissed if you hv the proof it is an very old debt. When they continue the legal process, it is only in hopes that you won't show up in court and they win a judgement by default. 99.5 % of defendants don't show up, and end up paying even more. Also, there is a huge fine(for them) if they are calling you on a cell phone, so I would keep the messages.
