Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Business debt

I have recently been served papers for a deposition from a process server, and this is the second time I have gotten them, but the attorney says that more have been sent saying I need to be held in contempt of court. This started when our business incorporation was revoked by the state of florida because of a from not being sent in and the revocation was retroactive. Now a creditor with whom we had an account with over 4 years ago is asking for all of our personal taxes, bank accounts, assets, etc. and they say it all has to be produced by next monday at the deposition. When they asked me to send them in to purge myself from not showing up at the other deposition I faxed the forms I had to the attorney per their instructions. Now they are telling me that I did not do that and I should be held in contempt of court. What can I do about the situation? The creditors attorney is saying that we are defrauding creditors since the incorporation is no longer valid, is this true as well?

Re: Business debt

Failure to appear and /or produce documents can be enforced through the contempt power of the Court. Without reviewing what was requested and what was provided, I offer no opinion on whether there was prior compliance.

If the required annual corporate reprt is not filed the corporate status can be revoked. It can be stored by payment.

I suggest you consult with competent local counsel.
