Q: What do I do about a debt from 2011. My taxes this year were taken for the debt. I called the attorney it was from Allen
Park fire dept. I have never been told about this debt, I would assume my insurance, medicaid, would have paid for it. So supposedly I was served, which I wasn't, because the house that they supposedly served me at has been torn down before 2011. So my question is what do I do about this because I wasn't served and how can u collect a debt from 2011 without even telling me about the debt.
A: You may have a service issue as well as a statute of limitations issue to raise in your defense. Contact a local attorney to advise.
