What is the name of your state? florida
my wife and i received a summons/notice a couple of days ago to appear for a pre-trial conference.apparently our ex landlord is suing for monies owed in the amount of $2850.this amount covers a period starting aug.2001-feb.2002(includes rent,late fees,&cleanig bill).while i dispute the total amount i realize their is monies owed for this time period.however,this a large sum of money my wife and i could not possibly pay at this time.we are at best a low income family with 2 children.im self employed(lawn maintenance)and my net profit for last year was about $10,000.my wife recently took a job as a waitress averaging a little over $1000 a month,so you can certainly see the financial hardship this could render on us.at this time we have no assets worth any real value with the exception of mobile home(only paid $500 dollars for),truck($800),and my lawn equipment(less than $800).while i realize this probably could have been avoided through simple comunications with the ex landlord prior to this,i worry about the financial affect this could have on our children.finally,this said what do you think our best course of action would be?
