At age 16, you're considered a legal incompetent.
Your parents could have been sued, but not you.
You were a minor, immune from process and civil suits, with RARE exceptions. This wouldn't have been one.
But, it appears the dude somehow obtained a judgment.
Or, as you speculate, it could be a bluff to scare money out of you.
No one gets arrested for ignoring a civil lawsuit.
I'd say the lawyer is a very poor one at best, or it's a hoax.
I suggest you seek real legal advice from a NJ licensed attorney, or an attorney licensed to practice in the state in which you reside.
Whatever you do, DON'T Respond or communicate to this shyster.
Hire a lawyer, let the lawyer guide you.
Good luck.

That is OUTRAGEOUS.
A legitimate debt collector CANNOT threaten to sue you if you don't comply, and they certainly CANNOT threaten you with arrest.
Seriously - do a Google search for the attorney. There are very severe penalties.
So...do NOT respond. Keep a copy of that paperwork.
This is for NJ: http://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/credit/DebtCollection.pdf
This is for PA: http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/consumers.aspx?id=244
From where I'm sitting, they just might end up in a whole sea of legal trouble

I should have mentioned that they waited two years to sue me when I was 18.

Again, I urge to to retain an attorney immediately, as in the next 24-48 hours.

Yes I've been trying to find one. I've talked to one and another tomorrow. I'm just trying to get multiple opinions on it.
