Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
A few years back 8/13/2001,a lein was put on my house,due to a credit card that I am not able to pay,which I am ok with,because I owe the money. I received yesterday 8/30/2011, a letter in the mail from the same company that a judgment was sold to another company,,a notice of intention to take oral depostition with a Subpoena Duces Tecum.Can this company actauylly put me in jail ,even though a lein was put on my house ? I do not have a lawyer,nor afford one. I need this gone away,and quit the harassing letters that I get in the mail. They are threatening me AGAIN,that I can be punished or fined ,or put into confinementCan this be possible ,even after the lein is on my house? Please respond asap. I dont wwant to even go to the hearing.

Call us..it could be the lien is not valid, the fact u did borrow money does not make it a lien..and if the amount is large enough, costs of setting it aside is worth consideration..it cost nothing to call..
This may or not be lien. Also, it appears some of the threats may be in violation of the debt collection acts. When they step over the line and threaten you with confinement, it is likely they cannot.
You really need to call an attorney. If you wish to call myself or one of the others, we may be able to assist.
Best of Luck
