I lived in an apartment in Michigan, and relocated to Ilinois. I gave the proper notice, and did everything I was suppose to before leaving. After living in Ilinois for a couple of months, I received a letter from my landlord stating that they have set a court date regarding my eviction. I did not receive this notice of a court date, and they claim I did not show up. They also told me that in order for them not to report it to the credit bureau which would ruin my credit I would have to pay them $4,000. I would like to buy a house in a year, and this would make it almost impossible if an eviction shows up on my credit history. I did nothing wrong, but they think they can get away with this, and I'll pay up. I'm a single parent just getting by, and I can NOT afford a lawyer and all the costs related to this. What can I do to get free from this situation? I'm worried sick...Please Help, thank you...
