In XXXX of XXXX, I received a knock at my door ; by Deputy of Civil court. He served me with a citation, from an attorney 's office ; claiming to be suing on behalf XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who purchased the account from, Rooms to Go/Synchrony Bank XXXX 
This came as a shock, because I had not been notified prior. Nor was I sent any letters notifying me, or giving me an opportunity to make a payment arrangement of any sort. 
What's worse is, they are suing for the original amount of the item placed on the credit card. This should not be the case, as the item was {$1100.00} and the credit card limit given, was {$1000.00}. 
I created the account in XX/XX/XXXX. I ordered a sectional from Rooms To Go, through Synchrony Bank Credit. This was a 3-year term with no interest. I was given 12 months to purchase the sectional at sale price. I began making payments on the Synchrony Bank, Rooms to Go account, once I received the sectional, one month later. ( XX/XX/XXXX ). Minimum payments XXXX. I made payments consistently, for months. 
I will admit payments were a little late, but never more than 20 days late. In XX/XX/XXXX, I was hospitalized with XXXX.I contacted them for help with late payment fees. I was still making payments while sick. They refused. I was paying, but with high lates fees, it was if, I was paying anything at all. All of this, while not receiving income while sick. 
I reached out again, when released from hospital ( XX/XX/XXXX ), to ask for payment assistance. I received no help. I had made 10 payments by this time. 
When trying to login to my account to make a payment, in XX/XX/XXXX ). I found that my account was officially closed on their website. I tried to get payment history, to rectify the balance. I received nothing in the mail. 

Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, they have sold the account to an attorney 's office, to sue. They provided the attorney with my last payment on the account. Just the 1 payment, after I made 10 months ' worth of payments and they are suing for the full amount of the sectional. 
I have submitted my response to the citation I was served on XXXX XXXX, requiring proof of debt, in my city 's civil court. I have not received proof of my debt from the attorney, since. 
However, I received yet another citation from the civil court, this afternoon, XX/XX/XXXX.
