My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: California
I have an abstract of judgment against me. There is a lien againt my property. I am trying to negotiate with the company's collection agency. They have rejected my initial offer and I am waiting for approval of a counter offer as opposed to the amount of $11,500 that they will allow me to pay off in one (1) year.
I received a summons and court date 3 months after the court proceedings. The papers were left on the front porch between 6:30 and 7:30 A.M. in March 24, 2010. The court date was November 24, 2009. Do I have a case against this collection agency due to not informing me in a timely manner, and will any Federal tax return for 2010 be sent directly to the lien holder?
