Someones trying to serve me.....advice please

Trish, we just recieved a letter from the court saying that Cache LLC asked the court for permission to serve my wife "via alternate methods".

The courts response was...."IT IS ORDERED denying Plaintiff's motion for service via alternate methods".

So now what? Can a good FDCPA attorney get rid of these guys. I hear Cache LLC are a bunch of A holes.

Ok......so have you ever received any sort of communication AT ALL from these guys??

Yes, that is them. Joe Pezzuto is one of the franchisees. How do we battle them? What are the chances they can verify the debt. And no, we have never recieved a letter or phone call from them.

I have a real hard time believing that our country allows some jacka$$ bottom feeder attorney to BUY a $10,000 debt for say $500 and then turn around in court and have a judge grant them the whole $10,000 repayment.

I will work something out with the OC, but I will fight like hell not to pay these sons of Biaaaatches..

To all of you specialists..... How do I handle this without screwing this up?

We have never had any contact with these guys and have never recieved anything in the mail. They have not found us as of yet, but I bet they will eventually. I believe this is for a rather large debt from our housing crunch. Unfortunatley we do not qualify for BK.

I will hire an attorney to fight this A-hole. What grounds for dismissal do I have?

You should see if you can talk to the OC.... if they have sold the debt to the CA and won't talk to you, then it might be a good idea to send the CA an unknown debt letter to make them validate the debt first.

They are supposed to at least send you a collection letter. If you send them a DV letter, they cannot answer you with a summons. They must validate the debt before serving you.
It sounds like you know what the debt is for......is it a substantial amount? (over 1k) Is it still within SOL?

You should also check your state's licensing dept and make sure the CA is licensed to collect.

That's just what I would do before hiring an atty.
