papers came in a name other than mine. No money was ever made on the advertisment. I got ssi last year in sept. I never went to civil court because it was not in my name. Yesterday more papers came in a name other than mine. Now they want to check all bank records of this name that's not my name and check the employment security commision for the procedding four quarters. will they be checking some record that are not even mine? what to do?

is this a big deal? will i end up in jail for not having the money to pay swb yellow pages? Can they get into the bank and take my SSI money? How can they get into my information when the court papers are in a different last name than my own?

i kept telling the sever, that the name on the court papers was not my name. they left and then came back and said , you are either the name on the papers, or the name on your mailbox.

the ad was placed in the yellow pages by my daughter for appliance repair, while she was purchasing an ad for physical therapy, i was with her then she paid 300. dollars for a ad for me. I said no, i can't do that work. i don't know how. she did it anyway. I never rememberd getting one call, and i got metal disability. last year. I am so worried about this mess. I got the papers in a name ive never used .. And my daughter thourght i would finish paying the add. I never got the first call and couldn't fix one thing.

the court papers were not in my daughters name either. She's 34 years old and im 59 guess i'll go to court and then they will get my real name. I guess they'll get my ssi check and i'll be in big trouble then. My daughter thought she was helping me. But now i wish she'd have listened to me and not put the ad in ..

Why would they be checking your bank records if you are not the one named in the suit? Since your name doesn't appear anywhere on the papers, you shouldn't worry about anything.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question here. The fact the ad didn't make money has no bearing on anything, SWB yellow pages don't offer a refund if there is no result to the ad placed. If your daughter placed an ad in your name and was an adult and not authorized to speak for you, it should not affect you, and they would be looking for your daughter.
Once you start getting papers directing you to court, whether or not you are named in the papers, regarding a liability to a company you either own or have a part in, it is time to consult an attorney, which should have been done with the first papers.
I have no idea what, if anything, they can do, but you can bet they have have high priced attorneys working on it. Protect yourself by getting representation, and ask your attorney, not Yahoo! Answers, what you should or shouldn't do.

I'm not sure you've given enough information to answer. Is it your daughter's name on the papers? If so, was your daughter a minor at the time of the judgement? Does she still live with you? If not, who's name is on the papers, some stranger, or is it an alternate spelling of your own name?
There may be ways to get relief from the judgment if there was some error in the paperwork, or if SBC did not serve you (or your daughter) with proper notice according to the laws in your state. But you'd probably need a lawyer to look into it. There are also strict time limits for trying to get relief from a judgment, so if you're going to do something you should do it right away.
Assuming you got relief from the judgment, you could probably fight the lawsuit, if you can prove that the yellow pages ad was really placed without your consent or knowledge.

well, if its not in your name, they shouldnt be checking your records, but the question is,,,,, whose name is it in? if your daughter placed the ad,,,,, it is her responsibility,,,,,,, you really should of handled it when the first papers came,,,,,, its a bill someone must pay,,,,,,,,, not sure who you mean wants to check bank records etc? the court? was the ad placed in the name of a business you owned? or were partners in? i would contact the court, if court papers have been filed,,,, otherwise contact the collection company if that is where the papers came from,,,,,,,,
ps: by your added details, you say a different last name then yours,,,,,, is this a name your daughter gave them? or a name that you have used in the past? i really suggest you get to the bottem of this,,,,, as while maybe not jail,,,,,, it could cause problems for either you or the daughter, and end up costing alot more money in the future , for/if a judgement is issued against either one of you,,,,
the main thing, is this a debt that you or your daughter made,, perhaps your daughter on your behalf? if you were aware of it and didnt cancel the ad,,,,,, that shows approval on your part,,,,,,,
