Credit card Taking/threatening an illegal action Threatened to sue on too old debt North Carolina

I was notified by regular mail -/-/- that Portfolio Recovery associates sued me at my local court for - and was awarded a default judgment on -/-/-. The clerk of courts said it was a unpaid debt. I reviewed the court file which did n't have much information. It had a certified letter envelope that was returned to the sender with my address that was stamped not delivered. I reviewed al - credit bureau reports and all - listed this judgement with out any original account number or original bank or lender.Nothing documented in the court file referenced what type of debt it was or how the total amount due was calculated. The clerk said that it was drawing interest -/-/-. - - - states - original records must be included for a debt buyer to obtain a default judgment, the original account number, original creditor, amount of original charge off, proof that debt was purchased plaintiff, the date of last payment on original acct. And proof that the consumer actually owed the debt. This judgment court file did not contain any of this or any kind of original paperwork or even copies. It contained no type of itemized charges


This is not my debt. I was failed by the courts when they granted this default judgment. This Portfolio Recovery debt buyer could 've acted in a timely manner if this were a true debt. I was never issued a subpoena and I have never signed any document with this agency. I was told that this judgement can be renewed for another 7 yrs. How is this even possible. The court document number referenced pages of other consumers that were sued the same day as I was and also granted default judgments. NC has the best credit reporting laws and this happens. The better business Bureau has this agency listed. It seems that they take pride in consumer not showing up and they win the case because it appears it 's valid. Then they let the judgement sit for years only to collect right before it is due to expire.
