    Help with what seems like a Debt Collector

    Thank you for your reply (and for everyone that replied). This is quite disconcerting. So, a debt collector of a credit card debt that has passed the statute of limitations (5 years in FL -- in my case, 14+ years) can file at a court, CLAIM I was served and judgement can be issued in their...

    Help with what seems like a Debt Collector

    Thank you so much for your kind and informed reply. Well, dang, I already spoke to the initial caller (the so called county dispatcher) and I called the toll free number to get the aforementioned details (spoke to a live rep that did say call was being recorded). I guess it happened already so i...

    Help with what seems like a Debt Collector

    What is the name of your state? FLORIDA I'll try to be concise. I recently received a phone call from person that claimed to be County Dispatch attempting to schedule an appointment to serve a civil subpoena. He did know my name, DOB and last 4 of social. The case # he gave me was NOT a legal...

    Received check from "Mr. Copper" from an old loan (foreclosure - 6+ years old, FL)

    Wow, thank you SO MUCH for all that extremely valuable information... I never knew. This forum is GREAT -- such a high knowledge base. So, besides the obvious making copies of all paperwork, checks, how long should I hold on to the cashed-in-check money until I can feel safe and not liable? 15...

    Received check from "Mr. Copper" from an old loan (foreclosure - 6+ years old, FL)

    Thank your for your very thorough and informative answer. Yes, it is my understanding that the SOL for mortgages in Florida is 5 years; and it has been past 5 years since my foreclosure (6+ years plus longer if we considered the last payment/activity on the mortgage). But I also realize that I...

    Received check from "Mr. Copper" from an old loan (foreclosure - 6+ years old, FL)

    Thanks, Quincy... But wouldn't "cashing the check" at the bank (JP Morgan Chase) mean that they verified it on the spot and the onus would be on them (Chase) for cashing the check?

    Received check from "Mr. Copper" from an old loan (foreclosure - 6+ years old, FL)

    Thank you, LdiJ. I am concerned, especially since they dated the loan as 5/21/21 (it is NOT current/active, as far as I am concerned). Also, don't most of these settlements have a case no, civil judgement number, in the correspondence by the losing defendant? (which was another red flag for me)...

    Received check from "Mr. Copper" from an old loan (foreclosure - 6+ years old, FL)

    Thank you, adjusterjack... great advice about visiting a local JP Morgan Chase bank branch. I will make copies of everything and visit a local branch. I am concerned, especially since they dated the loan as 5/21/21 (it is NOT current/active, as far as I am concerned). Also, don't most of these...

    Received check from "Mr. Copper" from an old loan (foreclosure - 6+ years old, FL)

    Florida I received, in separate mailings, what looks like a real check (over $2000) from Nationstar Mortgage LLC d/b/a Mr. Cooper and a mailing with a letterhead from "Mr. Cooper - 8950 Cypress Waters Blvd., Coppell TX 75019. The letter reads [with my comments in brackets as commentary]...

    When filing Chapter 7, do I lose my current credit cards in good standing???

    What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FLORIDA I thought it would not happen, but apparently old foreclosures and creditors think I must have great potential or am about to hit the lottery. I have recently been served by a 2nd HELOC Mortgage creditor for $180,000, an HOA for $4,000...

    What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FLORIDA In March 2015, my home was Foreclosed on and title bought by the originator, Fannie Mae.
