Cedit card suite statue of limitations
I was mailed a law suite that was filed against me. The law suite is on a credit card. A collition agency is filing the suite. They have the wrong acoount number listed, the last payment I made was 2/14/04 (I have the paid check) and they filed the suite 3/25/08 (after the statue of limitation. I called them and they said the last payment recieved was Sept 04. I had a banck account with the bank that issued the credit card account but clsoed the bank account 8/24/04.
My question should I get an attourney even though I have not been served papers and can the suite be dismissed becuase of the inaccurate act number. They are suing for over 13,000 and they show the balance written off by the bank was 3100 and they credit bureau showed the collection agency listing the debt of 3100 in Sept 2007. What advise can you give me?
I am writing on behalf of some African refugees, renting property.
The Federal government appears to channel all help for refugees through Catholic Social Services. They receive a certain sum for each refugee and then they dispense coupons for used furniture, clothing, etc. which can be used at Catholic consignment store. Catholic Social Services places the refugees (unrelated individuals) together in various apartments, houses, and pays for the first 3 months of rent.
The refugees may continue to stay on the property by paying rent after the 3 month period is up. ( But they hope to move to a better area when they have jobs.)
The refugees have questions concerning ownership of various items --whether they belong to Catholic Social Services, the owners of the houses/apartments, or to the refugees themselves. This property can be divided into 3 groups:
A. the pieces of furniture, pots and pans, dishes, etc. initially delivered to their homes by Catholic Social Services.
B. TVs and other things donated by other people. (They naturally do not have any receipts for any of these items.)
C. One household has received a washer, which is now installed. They also received some pictures which now hang on the walls, and have hung drapes.
(The owner of the property insists the washer must stay behind when they move because it is now attached to the plumbing of his house. He says anything attached to the house, such as the rods installed for the drapes, and even the pictures, is now considered his property and does not belong to the refugees.) Is this true?
