My husband is from the UK and left a credit card there when he moved here 2 years ago unpaid. He did leave the card company contact info which they didn't use but that is beside the point. However, until the time he moved here had made timely and regular payments on this account. We have now received notification by summons that he is being sued in the county court here in Dallas. I have several questions that I hope someone can shed light on.
1. Can he be sued here for enforcement of a contract he signed in England under the Consumer Credit Act of 1974 which states that action can only be taken in the county court of England?
2. Is the credit card company required to contact him before they file the lawsuit (too late) to try to collect the debt? They obviously know where to find him since they had him served papers.
3 Eventhough we live in a community property state can a lien be placed on a property I have owned solely in my name since before marriage for a debt he incurred before our marriage?
I do know we have to answer the summons ASAP I am just looking for help as to legality of this matter
Thanks, I have found a lot of info on here but nothign dealing specifically with this issue.
