Good luck. It still seems really really odd that you would be contacted about a court date by the company and not summonsed by the court, but it's entirely possible. We considered pursuing civil action against a slum lord and we were told we would either have to pay a summons fee or deliver the notice ourselves. Definitely get confirmation from the courthouse. If so, talk to a lawyer. Afford or no, that will save your ass in the long run. There's a way out, even if this is legit, but you have to follow the procedure. If Universal is pursuing this through local courts, you can bet for damn sure the local district doesn't want to have to deal with this and Universal knows it.
