Q: Got a subpoena for my bank and paycheck and tax and bills i pay. Collections company
Judgement was done back in 2008 for sears credit card. Recently I got this Subpoena to submit all my personal bank and work and tax info. I do not see how they are able to demand my personal information. This is from the attorneys in Tampa fl that have sent this. Do I have to send this attorney all my personal financial records for the last 3 years?
A: If Sears sued you for the credit card debt and if the Judgment against you was entered in 2008, then it is still good for another 8 years under Florida law. However, if the amount is significant you should hire a collections defense lawyer to review all the facts before responding.
