I currently live in Louisiana. I just received a letter from a legal firm in Chicago IL from an 'investigator',stating: "We are conducting an investigation regarding your name and social security number ###-##-#### issued from the state of VA. This information will be placed into a national database Tuesday, March 4th, 2003. You must contact me when you receive this notification. Investigator's Name Investigator" I called and this person stated that they were notifying me that there were to be legal proceedings against me tomorrow and a judgement issued against me on an old 'closed' account with Bank One in Texas, and he provided the address of where I use to live years and years ago. He stated that a check was written in the amount of 177.24 in Feb. 1995. Stating that there would be a return check fee and investigation fee, etc., etc. and that they were scheduled to go to court to do a judegment tomorrow. What is the statue of limitations on this? (I haven't lived in TX for over years and that was apparently back when I just got out of college). Can someone give me some advice or feedback on this issue? What do I need to do and is this legal?
