Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

I received a letter thru regular mail telling my husband that a default judgment had been issued against him for a failure to return 3 dvds. They are telling him that they will attach our bank account for $1080 for a 15.00 account. This is the first we have heard of this. We moved from Houston 10 years ago and have never received any notification of debt or court date. Can they do this and what can we do so they will not attach our bank account? I am concerned that this is a fraudulent attempt to get money from us since nothing was sent certified mail or return receipt requested. I do not know what to do.

you should hire a lawyer...and if you have a copy of judgment, contact the Court..get the record from the Court..you may find they did not serve personnally but only certified mail to old address..but if you don't act they 'may' garnish your account and then you have to sue them..etc..do something..go to the Court and/or call a lawyer..
