| Being Sued for no Reason...
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IN
I will try to make this short. I just moved back to Indiana from Tennessee last month. One week before the move, I got a Civil Warrant delivered to me, saying I was being sued by a apartment complex I lived at over 2 1/2 years ago. Basically they are saying I didn't pay the last month's rent (I did). They also said I didnt give a Notice to Vacate (I did). The total bill was $3600. Backtrack a little, I never received a late notice, nothing was said the day I turned in my keys and walked the apartment, no phone calls or letters in 2 1/2 years. They had my new address, I had the same phone number that I had when I moved in, so they could have contacted me about this . In a nut shell I faxed their attorney my copy of the Notice to Vacate paperwork and holy cow, the bill dropped from $3600 to $1300, kind of fishy. I unfortunately do not have my copy of the cashier's check, that they request for he last month's rent. Basically they do not have proof I didn't pay and I don't have proof I did pay. But I do have proof they lied and said I didn't give a notice to vacate and they never tried to contact me in 2 1/2 years to tell me they didn't have a receipt of payment, if they would have I could have produced my receipt, but in 2 1/2 years things get lost.
What are my chance of winning this on the court date next month?
Also, I was single when I lived there, I just got married in Dec 2008, if this judgment goes through and I don't pay, which I don't pay for things twice, can they go after my wife for this? I don't have bank accounts and I am self employed, but she has bank accounts and a works for a company. |
