Am I obligated to fill out a paper that the collection agency is referring to as an Information Subpoena with 10 questions about my personal information? They want bank account info, etc. They said that they have filed a judgment against me in the Superior Court.

Check with the court to see if there's actually a judgement against you. Then get back to us, either way.

| Quote: | An INFORMATION SUBPOENA is a legal document that directs the Debtor to answer certain questions regarding the existence and location of assets as well as employment and wage information.
Upon the filing of a request for an Information Subpoena and payment of the filing fee, the City Court Clerk will provide you with the Subpoena, which consists of two sets of Questions and a cover letter. You must mail the cover letter, both sets of Questions, and a prepaid, addressed return envelope to the individual or institution being asked to answer the questions. It is recommended that you mail the forms by certified mail, return receipt requested, so that you can provide proof of mailing to the Court in the event that the completed Questions are not returned to you. The individual or institution directed to answer the questions must do so within seven (7) days of receipt. |

Hi,
The creditor can only ask you to reply to the subpoena if they have won a jedgement against you. Hence, unclewulf is right, find out first if there is a judgement against you in the county court or not. This can very well be a plan to scam people and skim their personal information.
The information subpoenais delivered before the creditor's move to seize the personal asset of the debtor in order to compensate his/her loss.Hence, enquire properly, before filling out the information subpoena.
