Unfortunately in the case of premarital underage sex, it will most likely not hold up especially if the child whose parents are pressing charges is still at the age where the parents can charge even if the child says they did and still do want it. In Missouri that age is 16, under 16 the parents can charge even if the child is the same age as the other and says they were a willing participant.

You had a verbal agreement with someone and they have broken it and now they have issued a claim form on you What would happen in court?

ADDED: I disagree with the previous answer. In my experience, verbal agreements are NOT admissable in court. Unless there were witnesses to the agreement who can be produced for testimony, if you cannot prove via signed paperwork that an agreement was made, it is a case of one's word against the other. You MAY find a judge/magistrate willing to hear your argument and attempt to get the two of you to mediate a settlement, but a verbal agreement is NOT legally enforceable. -end- Verbal agreements/contracts are admissible in Court. When you say a claim form has been issued do you mean a Summons? You have received notification of a Small Claims Court filing? The person suing you will present his/her evidence, including his/her version of your oral agreement, and you will present your evidence, including your version of your oral agreeement, the Judge will listen to both sides and decide which is more credible - and either deny the other person's claim or give the other person a Judgment against you.

What rights do you have when a collection agency contacts you over a bill you do not believe you owe - you had verbal agreement with the business than they changed the fee later?

A "verbal" agreement isn't worth much. If you don't have a written agreement you can't prove there was any agreement at all. I would contact the business and see if they will document your verbal agreement.
