Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Subpoena of personal banking records

I performed a service and was paid with a check that was signed by someone not authorized. I can't subpoena the bank records without a ''Notice to Consumer''. Where do I find this form?

I'm trying to get a copy of the signature card that states the person wasn't authorized to sign the check at the time the services were performed. The person who signed it is a Los Angeles Police Detective. We catered his wedding!!

Re: Subpoena of personal banking records

If you believe a LAPD detective intentionally tendered a bad check or one on which his signature was not authorized, if I were you I would contact LAPD Internal Affairs and the LA District Attorney's Office. You might also call reporter Troy Anderson at the L.A. Daily News. For information regarding subpoenaing of consumer records in a pending civil case, look up sections of the Cal. Code of Civil Procedure beginning at about Section 1987. You can do this at any courthouse law library, most public law libraries, or at www.leginfo.ca.gov . Hopefully your contract you had your customer sign provides for attorney fees and interest
