5 years ago I had sterling credit.
I owned 3 houses, a business.
The business was a franchise started by my husband, before I married him.
It was not one of the better decisions that he made. When all was said and done, we lost about $350K.
The situation goes from bad to worse.
He leased a building for his his store, and secured it with our home.
Because the leasing company had never provided us with heat or air conditioning we vacated the building, and went to see a lawyer .
They sent us notices of back owed rent, we referred them to the lawyer, who wrote letter after letter about the problem, and they would not respond.
The lawyer said it was breech of contract and not to worry about it.
We stopped hearing from them.
Then 4 years later we get a notice from a CA, they were trying to collect 52,000 in back rent.
I returned to my lawyer, who had put my file in storage by this time.
He wrote a letter to the CA stating that the claim was well past the SOL, and told them if they had any further need to contact us to do it through his office.
Now more than 4 1/2 years later, someone tried to serve me court papers from the leasing company.
They guy that made the serve attempt was not too smart and I told him that they would have to send them to my attorney, he said o.K. and left, but he told me who was trying to sue me first
My thought is that they are now going after my house.
If this is the case, and they can still try to sue me, even though they were the ones that had the breech in contract.
We did notify them and try to get them to perform the work that was required before we left the building.
Should I file bankruptcy? My house is ALL I have left in this world, and I couldn't even afford to fight this in court. I don't know what to do.
Can they take my house?
I am beyond sick over this matter now.
Does anyone here have any advice,I am so scared.
