Can simply receiving a summons notifying you that you are being sued damage your credit report?
Receiving a summons has no bearing on your credit report. It is, however, an indication that you are being sued over a bad debt.

It is always in a consumer's best interests to prevent a judgment from being granted against you. Whatever you do, answer the summons and raise a defense in court.

If your ex-husband falsely sued you and never served you and got a judgment and this is now on your credit report can you be patient for 7 years and ask agencies to take it off your report?
Yes, but that does not make the judgment uncollectable.
After a charge off has reached 7 yrs and is no longer on your credit report can a private company bill you for payment on behalf of the creditor?
The answer to your question depends on the laws which govern the debt. Morally, if you owe a debt that is 7 years or older and have never paid it, you still owe the debt. The 7 year time period is how long the derogatory information may show on your credit report. There is a separate time period, the statute of limitations, for how long you could have been sued over this debt. Both of these have, most likely, expired.
