More advice needed. I have good reason to believe that the debt I referred to (see below) was my x husband's responsibility according to the divorce decree. The divorce was final in April of 99. It is also possible that he did make some payments on it after the divorce. My divorce was issued in the same county I am being sued in. Does that matter?? The same county tells him to pay it, now they come after me for the $$$. Just doesn't seem right. Seems to go againest their on previous judgement.
I no longer have any of these records. I will call attorney that is suing to get all info I can. Please Help????? Merry ps see below posted 2/14/04 I hope someone can give me step by step instructions on how to fix this mess. I got divorced in 1999. I had credit card debts I couldn't pay. I called these companies at the time to see if I could just send 10-20 dollars to pay on these accounts but they wanted full amount. My last contact with any of these creditors was in early 1999.
I was served with a citation to appear in court. I have no idea which account is suing me for $4,796.52 plus $1430.85 attorney fee's and 18%interest. I live in Texas and this credit card company is based in Ohio. It has Citibank Universal card on the papers, but I never had a Citicard. I am assuming old account was bought by them. I also see that the case was filed on Dec 19 2003 in County court. I was served in person these papers on Feb. 12 2004. This is strange. I didn't sign anything. The guy just ask if I was Merry and handed it to me and walked away. Also the Verification of Statement of account last address in my old name and address and this is dated Nov. 24, 2003 in the state of Ohio by agent of unifund.I believ the Statue of Limitaions has expired. Am I corecton this??? Does this Unifund have to licensed in Texas?? What do I do??? Do I need a lawyer? I can't afford one. PLEASE HELP???? Merry T
