Just finished my XXXX. Had to use a credit card to get through some rough financial patches. Was unable to make payments due to lack of income and trying to live on a student budget. Found out recently that a XXXX party has filed a collection lawsuit against me without my knowledge. Apparently this XXXX party ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) " bought '' my credit card debt ( still not sure how that works ) and is pursuing a lawsuit against me using the lawfirm of XXXX XXXX XXXX, in spite of failing to communicating with me in good faith. I have not even received a summons or any official, legal documentation. I recently received SEVERAL letters from random attorneys, which brought this lawsuit to my attention, none of which are associated with the lawfirm that is actually pursuing this lawsuit. I do n't understand how this is legal. I recently began a new job in my chosen field in regards to my degree, so I am now in a position to begin making monthly payments. However, this group of people has robbed me of the chance to make good on my debt and are now seeking to sidestep that good faith and take me to court. It is now my understanding that this has become a common business practice. This is n't right.
