How would a creditor/lawyer find out where you bank or work? I have since changed banks and jobs since I've had a voluntary repo-August 2002. (I know, silly of me to think I didn't owe the remainder of the payments.) In December, I filed a motion/order to show cause to vacate the judgment due to improper service. The lawyer then sent an affirmation in opposition and I answered that.
In between all of this, the lawyer then wanted to settle out of court so it raised a red flag and made me realize that I do not owe even half of what they are saying.
I was told it would take another 2 months for there to be either a decision or a hearing/conference. In the meantime, on January 15th there was a "motion returnable" but the clerk was not allowed to tell me what it was or who it was from.
I'm just afraid that the lawyer might try something to freeze my bank account in the meantime, BEFORE there is a decision or hearing. Can they do that? And how do they find out where you bank or are employed if at all??
Thanks very much to all of you! This is an excellent site. It is very helpful in many areas.
