Summoned to court only for it to be dismissed, my husband had to miss a day of his school resulting in him losing his stipend for the week. Before they even took his paperwork the lady was making him write down his information for a payment plan before he started asking some questions and ahe come back and said it was dismissed. Greedy office, waste of time, they were also very rude especially after they realized they weren't getting my money but they stole it in the end by making us lose out on what little we make!
