If a credit card company or debt collector files suit, it will serve you with a summons to which you will need to respond promptly. You need to know your rights before you answer the summons. At Kasputis Law Firm, we’re well-versed in Credit Card Defense. We can help.
At our first meeting, we’ll review the complaint and look specifically at the following critical issues:
- Were you properly served with the Summons and Complaint?
- Has the statute of limitation expired?
- Does the Plaintiff have the proper paperwork to prove its case?
- Has the Plaintiff properly complied with the Fair Debt Collections Act?
- Does the Plaintiff have the proper standing to pursue its cause of action?
- Are there fraudulent charges on your bill(s)?
- Have you been discharged in bankruptcy?
Expungement
In Ohio, an expungement is the sealing of a record. This legal process allows one to have cleared any and all references to a prior criminal conviction (or a finding of not guilty), and then to have the court file sealed. As a result, it is as if one were never convicted (or arrested) of the crime.
On June 26, 2012, Governor Kasich signed Senate Bill 337, which changed Ohio law as it relates to expungement and the sealing of criminal records. The new Ohio expungement law went into effect on September 28, 2012. It makes more people eligible for expungement and broadens the list of expungement offenses.
