Just as a suggestion - PAY YOUR BILLS!!
Then maybe lawyers won't be sending you "supinas" in the mail.

I don't think that really is a subpoena (or, as you put it, "supina"). A subpoena has to be served in person. It has to be actually handed to you. I suspect what they sent you was only a threat or a dunning letter. But on the other hand, here's the bad news: To repo your car, they don't have to serve you a subpoena or send you a warrant or a letter or anything. All they have to do is just come get the car, and they may even do that while you're sleeping! So don't be afraid of the subpoena. Just realize they may come and take your car - because, legally, it is their car.

The ONLY reason you will ever get a subpoena on a repossession is if the Finance company has exhausted all avenues to pick the unit up. In other words when the unit went into repo. status you hid the car, you lied about who you are, about where the unit was and you basically did what in Colorado is now a class 4 Felony. You withheld property from its rightful owner. NOW instead of charging it off, the Finance company is dragging you into court to demand possession of the unit.
That was the wrong game to play with them. Not only now will they get the unit back, you will be 150 before you will be able to get another, even at one of those u work u ride places.
I saw a guy who was with holding a unit from me go to jail for 9 months, The circumstances were a lot different, it was not his unit he was hiding, it was his brothers who was in jail for murdering his wife, all the same he got 9 months.
If you show up for court or if you don't is up to you, but you need to now the laws have and are still changing and people are getting in more and more trouble over thing like this.
If I were you I would turn the unit over to them and hope that would be the end of it. There is nothing you can do about your credit, but you can always get a job, save money and pay cash for a car. If you pay cash you will never have to worry about this again.
Good Luck.

What are you talking about? You don't send a subpoena to repossess a car. You simply repossess the car. You also don't send a subpoena back, but you respond to the subpoena either by appearing at trial, a deposition or producing documents.

Subpeonas are civil, not criminal. You do not have to receipt for mail. Registered or certified mail does not have to be signed for. You can refuse it. It is not a good subpoena if it is not physically handed to you. Warrants are only issued for criminal cases.
Pay for the car or give it back and get something you can afford.

State to State varies. Was it registered mail and did you or someone in your household sign for it. If no one signed for it then you never got it. Where I'm from only law enforcement serves papers. But they may still issue a warrant.

It's called a "subpoena" and they will come after you like a ton of bricks if you ignore it. Your credit history is probably already ruined and I don't see how anyone will trust you with a loan for several years now.

Yes, you may end up with a constaple at your door. Subpoena means that you are being summoned to court...you have no choice in the matter.

The word is "Subpoena". And yes, they will do whatever they have to do. You don't think you can ignore this, do you?
