| Civil Summons-need advice on settlement
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
I received 2 civil summons one in my name and the other with my name DBA.., same case , same plaintiff. The plaintiff installed a fire sprinkler system for a small Inn that I had built--original contract $32,000. The suit is for $4,000. I do not deny that I owe them-- I simply do not have the money. They filed a lien against the Inn January 2009.
Without the long story-- I have fallen victim to our current economic crisis. My personal home and the Inn (which never opened) are in default and I could lose them to foreclosure. There is nothing that I own that has any equity in it-- other than a paid off 1998 truck. I also own a 20 unit apartment building but it is in another LLC -- so I assume that it would be off limits in a judgment against me?? I am self employed.
Are there any suggestions for how I should handle this summons?
If by some stroke of luck I am able to save my house and the Inn-- can a judgement in favor of the plaintiff force me to sell the property so they can collect the deficiency amount??What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
