More details to this question:
I am being sued by a credit card leasing company. They used my information, my signature, my social security without my knowledge. Now they are stating they I owe them 9,000. I did not have any name on the business which they are claiming, and I have never owned that business. How do I fight them?

If you are being sued, you certainly have the right to hire a lawyer to defend yourself in the lawsuit. Is this a Wisconsin case or is out of the area? One would need to know in what state they filed the lawsuit, and/or what county to make a recommendation to you to look for an attorney. The rules of Lawyers.com also prohibit our offering our own services to represent a prospective client or making a recommendatin of a specific attorney to you. Instead, you may want to start right here at Lawyers.com and search civil litigation attorneys to look for an attorney to help you, or Super Lawyer, Best Lawyers in America, or Martindale-Hubbell to find a lawyer. Also, make sure that you file a written answer to the lawsuit or hire an attorney to do it, within the prescribed time line (in WI it is 45 days), or they can take a default judgment against you.
