    I recieved a document today delivered by an ununiformed BSO deputy to appear in court for a 1300 credit card debt.from over 5yrs ago .The Plaintiff is a collection agency ...I have a few questions ..
    .Would the original creditor "sears" still be involved?
    .Can my wages be garnished in florida ?
    .Is this a real document? Can I be served a warrent if I do not appear?
    Is this common practice?
    Will I be responsible for additional leagal fees??

    Default Re: Court Order For Debt In Florida

    .
    Would the original creditor "sears" still be involved
    possibly but probably not. It seems most collection agency are simply debt buyers and then they collect on their paper.

    .Can my wages be garnished in florida ?
    don't know.

    .Is this a real document?
    Don't know. I am getting older and 1800 miles is further than I can read anymore. In other words, it is in your hands and without looking at it, it is impossible to tell but I suspect it is a real document

    Can I be served a warrent if I do not appear?
    No. There will simply be a default judgement in favor of the plantiff.


    Is this common practice?
    What, suing debtors for the money they owe? Yes.

    Will I be responsible for additional leagal fees??
    Very possible. Read your agreeement with Sears.
