What is the name of your state? Florida
I recently got a letter of "Order Adjudicating Contempt" stating that I was found in Contempt of Court for ignoring a subpoena Duces Tecum for a deposition for December 4, 2006, and I would be sentenced to 5 days in prison unless I go to a new deposition date of 10/30/07.
First off I never received a subpoena for 12/4/06. I did move around a bit in Florida before settling down at my current location. And this is from a debt collection lawyer representing a bank that sued me for a defaulted car loan back in 2002 in the state of New Jersey, in which they already were granted judgment but couldn't collect from me because of my financial condition. How can they sue me again for the same debt?
What grounds can I dismiss this subpoena 10/20/07? The court is not in the same county I live in and they don't even have my name spelled correctly. The letter didn't mention what type of information they wanted (I would assume it would be all my financial status information). Would filing for bankruptcy right away stop these new legal proceedings? What other options short of that do I need? Would a lawyer be able to stop these threats of throwing me in jail for a civil debt?
