Q: Got served papers from a bank that is suing me for credit card debt. The last payment I made was over 5 yrs ago.

The bank is based out of Florida but the branch I opened the account in 2013 was in Alabama. I was served a few days ago from a parish in Louisiana where I live currently. I’ve read everywhere that I am past the statute of limitations but need to respond to the summons. Thank you
