Hello,
Today I received a letter from a consumer debt attorney offering his for a case that I had no idea I had against me. The Plaintiff is Main Street Acquisition Corp. I haven't called the attorney yet however, I looked up the case at the courthouse listed in the letter. Sure enough there is a case on record. The party information states that the following have been filed:
NOTICE FILED & MAILED
COMPLAINT FILED - COLLECTION CASE
SUMMONS FILED
NOTICE OF CASE ASSIGNMENT FILED AND COPY GIVEN TO PLAINTIFF
An OSC has been set for next year 4/2013.
I have not received any notices other than the letter I received today from the attorney offering to help me.
My question are:
Because I did not know of the case and have not shown up to any court appearances or filings - will this hurt me?
With the above mentioned filings did I have to appear?
I have no idea where the debt originated - How do I find out?
It's likely a valid debt as I have had a terrible time the last few years and have contemplated filing bankruptcy - Should I file bk? Should I try and contact Main Street Acquisition Corp.
Any advise will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
