QUESTION
can I be sued for a debt that I reported as identity theft
Asked on Aug 24th, 2015 on Civil Litigation - California
More details to this question:
I was contacted by an attorney who claims they are representing a collection agency. In the past I have sent several letters to the collection agency asking for proof of the debt or validation they never contacted me or send me proper proof afterwards approximately a year later I receive documentation from the attorney stating that they were suing me for the debt. I asked them to provide me validation of debt but they did not. We have gone to court twice already and there will be an upcoming trial November the 30th of this year. What are my options?

A creditor is not obligated to accept your word, or any other evidence provided by you, that a debt resulted from identity theft, and can sue you for the debt. If, after it sues you, you are able to convince a judge or jury that you didn't incur the debt, you should win.
