Has any of you good folks had a similar experience?
I was awakened today by the doorbell ringing, when I went down I saw a car driving away and a pile of papers attached to my front door. When I started reading I saw it is addressed to the previous owener of the house (we bought it just last summer), and it is called "Garnishment Summons" - I have no idea what that is. Apparently, the previous owner owed some 3,000 dollars to Wachovia Bank, and now they are coming for it... to our home.
Do you think I should just ignore it because it is not against us or does the fact that we live in this house now makes us liable in place of the previous owner? That would suck big time! I know we have some insurance against liens and judgments we bought along with the house, but even if we contact them,I am still not sure what to do with the summons. Throw it away?
Thank you for your answers.
