Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
unknown debt
In Jan. I was up north visiting, when my daughter came home she found a summons for me to appear in court that had been left in the planter outside our front door. Since we had been gone over three weeks the time to answer this summons had expired. She called the company that had issued the summons and told them what had happened, but they could care less. This is for a credit card debt that I do not believe is mine, but my ex-husbands (divorced in 1999). they told my daughter that they had served papers for arbitration on me last year, but I never recieved any papers from them. They re now taking me to court to uphold the arbitration. I requsted validation of this debt, and all they sent me was the original creditor and the two companies it had been sold to. I do not have anything showing that I signed for this and I do not believe that I did since this was aquired while we were seperated and they say it is a joint account. Is there anything I can do? Can they attach my property which is what they said they would do? I'm self employed can they attach my earning? I really think this is not my debt. We go to court on Friday.

Re: unknown debt
You should give me a call sounds like you are being hounded by one of these credit card companys that buys bad debt. First off, they did not get good service on you by leaving it in the planter. You probably have many other basis to defend. Who is the company suing you? Willing to help.
