If a credit card company sends you a summons will it go on your credit report right away or does it mean they are bluffing?

A creditor does not issue a summons. A summons is issued by the court of jurisdiction when some form of legal action has commenced. A summons will not be placed on a CR. However, if a judgment is awarded in a lawsuit, that will be entered into the public records section of the CR and will remain seven years or perhaps longer. In regards to the "bluffing", if the person has received a summons from the court via regular mail, courier service, a process server or a sheriff; you can be certain it is indeed real and should be responded to within the time limit noted.

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. This debt may have already damaged your credit and certainly any legal action would be extremely damaging. 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 a credit card company says you owe them money but it is not on your credit report do you have to pay?
