What is the name of your state? California
My family recently had a court appointed atty in juvy court. A paper was recvd with an appointed atty's name, etc. We went to court twice (15 mins ea time in front of judge) - I get a call today from the County Recovery that I owe $653 for services rendered!
At NO time was I advised of nor did a sign anything about being responsible for a fee. Sounds stupid now but I thought court appointed attys were somehow paid thru the system.
Do I have any rights not to pay this and not have a lien or smalls claim or anyother action taken against my credit? I have not recvd a billing for it or anything, just a call from Recovery that it is due and payable now!
Do I have to pay, and if so WHO can I argue this with? As I feel very strongly that I was not advised as I was with EVERY other aspect of this entire ordeal?
