Warrant in Debt
Date: Mon, 04/27/2009 - 13:08
While doing a routine check of my credit last month, I was surprised to find a court judgment for a Warranty of Debt from an extermination company that I had a contract dispute with. The Warrant in Debt was issued in May of last year. When I filed a complaint against the company with the BBB, I discovered that the Warrant in Debt was "posted". We never received any notice of court proceedings and would certainly have gone to court to dispute this. I know that there is a limited amount of time to appeal, but after checking the Virginia statute for "posting" a Warranty of Debt summons, I discovered that the company issuing the summons was supposed to also send by mail a copy of the Warranty within 10 days of the court date. We did not receive a letter either. Do we have any recourse?
