Scumbag predatory collectors and their syphillitic crackhead lawya-wannabes have gleet-encrusted dreams of Defendants ignoring summonses.

Answer the suit, claim "lack knowledge" to each of their counts. One, you're forever prevented them from getting a default judgement. Two, not always, but many times, by merely answering a suit, the collection lawyer loses interest, and pursues less costly, easier targets. This is a cynical numbers game. Collectors sense weakness, and pursue first those afflicted with it. By answering the suit, you let them know you might go down, but not without a fight which will prove costly to them, in terms of money and time, and may yet bring them trouble with the FTC and AG for their all too typical infractions.
