My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Texas
I haven't lived in Texas for over 11 years. I recieved a Letter from a collections attorney for warrant notification that states Their firm was hired to collect on a outstanding case pending against me for failure to appear in court to answer charges made against me 10 years ago. After calling them and the court I found that 3 checks had been written for $45, $67, $89 to a grocery store in the area of my home town. I haven't lived there for 11 years this past May. They are telling me that I owe $1800 dollars to take care of this matter or a arrest warrant will be issued for me.
I didn't write the checks and the account was closed a year before someone somehow wrote those checks...I tryed to contact the store, but they have been closed for over 6 years now and the lady at the Bank told me their records do not go back that far. I live 1600 miles from that area and can't afford the time or money to travel there to fight these charges. What can I do ???
