I was served with a notice for debt collection?

Question

I was served with a notice for debt collection, the paper does have my sign on it, it says I borrowed $55000 in Sept 1999 and was supposed to make payments of $400 a month including 15% interest and I never took a loan like that? I have been asked to come to the court on Sept 12 2008. I remember giving a blank paper with my sign to a friend whose now my enemy, could that person use that paper to get me in trouble?? I had filed for a bankruptcy in the end of 1999? Will this effect this claim?

Answer 1

Definetly show up in court and challenge this. Also check the statute of limitations in your state, as this debt is likely so old that there is no longer a legal obligation to pay.

It sounds like you need an attorney.
