Hello Ats.
I recived a phone call saying that im being sued by att,verizon, and t mobile for an outstanding cell phone bill from 2004 for 500 dollars. The lawyer told me that they tried to contact me with a letter before. Its a civil suit. I dont remember what I ate for lunch two weeks ago I really dont remember an unpaid cell phone bill from 2004. I have no idea if i even had t mobile in 2004. I have always used pre paid and still do. Anyone have any advice as I cant afford a lawyer.

I don't know what state you are in but I am shocked that this outstanding bill has not exceeded the statute of limitations for filing a civil suit. Plus, in my state, $500 would be a small claims issue.
Are you certain this is not just an attempt to scare you and is an actual Complaint filed in civil court? You would receive Notice from the Circuit Court in your jurisdiction if an actual legal Complaint had been filed with the Court.

Wow I never knew that. They have lawyers calling while im on the job. The lawyer said a civil suit and I would have to pay lawyer and court fees. It kinda made me wonder why Tmobile would try and sue me from a bill in 2004 for 500 bucks and how did they get that number of 500?

Also, by 'Notice' I mean you would have received Notice by certified mail or hand delivered -- both requiring a signature. Those are the rules of the Court everywhere although the amount of time required may vary.
