HI I am new to this site but it seems like you have lots of practical information.. and I could definitely use any good suggestions. Basically I currently live in California via 9 years in Washington DC and have an old debt that looks like it was sold to Midland Funding. Now MF are trying to collect the debt through a local Virginia legal team Pender and Coward at my parents house (that I have not lived at since 1997) in Virginia. Actually I have never lived at that address I lived an hour away at their old home.
Since I travel I was just recently made aware that there was this collector out there trying to get my info but my parents have always told them the same thing and that is that I do not live at that location and have not for years. Now after being gone in Europe I see that (even after my parents turned away a summons by the sheriff!!!- NEVER SERVED- for not living there) have a civil "warrant in debt" case in a week in a state I have not lived at in over a decade, never had the original credit card in that state nor ever lived in the city in that state where the case is being brought. Speaking a little to Bud Hibbs he suggests not doing anything but I really dont want a default judgement but this is not legal at all..
Also you should know my taxes I have filed reflect my new California residence my license is still in DC (which I am changing soon)
What should I do ?
