What documents could I bring to court to prove I have never received a loan that I am being asked to repay?
I just received a call from a foreigner telling me that I am being filed against for taking out a loan and not repaying it. I am 18 years old, attend college, have not taken out any loans from anyone, and have no credit. They asked me to pay them $250 or dispute the matter in court. I chose to go to court because I have not borrowed money from anyone at all in my lifetime and do not have$ 250 because I am a broke college student who is living with her parents.

This is a scam. There is no loan and you don't need to go to court. If there had been a loan on which you defaulted and you were being sued, you would have been served by a process server with a summons and complaint. The complaint is the lawsuit attached to the summons. You would have had an opportunity to respond by filing an answer to the complaint with the court and serving a copy of your answer by mail on the opposing party.
You should contact the police and the telephone company about this scam.
