I recently had a collection agency send me a document that looked like official court papers summoning me to a pre-trial hearing(even had an attorneys name and signature upon the document). When I called the court house clerk I discovered there was no such case number with my name on it , but the case number was from another closed case from the past. There were a number of discrepencies upon further investigation.

Can this be made into a case where I sue the collection agency, or does this only become a "complaint case" with the WA. State attorney general?

My financial advisor has suggested that this could be a case where I could sue their hynie off and I could "own a collection agency" (not that I want to-but I have been harassed and misled by this collections agencies tactics).

If a court case would happen, how do the damages/settlement get determined?

What kind of attorney would I seek for a consultation?
