this stems from a criminal case where a bank has payed the victim for their loss. Now the bank is coming after me for the amount they paid to the victim. The lawyers for the bank have subpoena.the states attorney and probation for all documents from the criminal matter. I would like to block them from getting them. Is there a way to do this? Also i am still on probation until next year. If that matters?
Also when i do lose this case, can i file for bankruptcy. i know i can't in the crimal matter, but how about this civil matter?

To all thanks for the answers.
I am not worried about my credit its screwed already.
They have not attached anything to my bank account it is with another bank and is a checking account only.
I am already paying restution in the criminal matter. The trail for this case is set for March of 08. I do not have an attorney. i can't afford one.
Why are they trying to get more documents if this is already a public matter and they have them already?
I just can't believe that i can't stall this process or block them from getting probation documents etc

No. No basis to block the request.
You can file; but a bankruptcy judge can set aside the civil judgement and require it paid.

You probably will have to pay it back.
But your best bet will be to do go to the court hearing so u will not lose by default.
Get your money out of the bank if you can,the criminal matter documents is public knowledge anyway, so u can't stop that, but u can fight back in court, but if you already lost the criminal matter, most likely u will be held liable for the money that the bank paid back. If it's not a lot of money just agree to pay it back on instalment.
You should file bankruptcy before u lose the case, that's if u still can or did they already placed lien on your account

The documents pertaining to the criminal prosecution are public record, and you cant stop other people getting them.
You can file for bankruptcy if you lose, but the bankruptcy court will almost always set a civil restitution judgment outside of the bankruptcy, so your credit will be screwed, but you'll still owe the restitution.
