HSBC Debt Collection Complaint

Credit card Taking/threatening an illegal action sued w/o proper notification of suit

HSBC Debt collection department,

Credit card Taking/threatening an illegal action Sued w/o proper notification of suit Florida

I was a - many years ago. I applied for a corporate credit card. I was told over the phone ; while completing the application that the company would have to use its tax ID to apply for credit. Since it 's a corporation I can not be a personal guarantor. The organization went down under and was not able to pay its bill. The business was dissolved and has since been defunct for about 10 years. Since 2011 I 've notice that - judgment was placed against me totaling -. I have no idea why this company is going after me, knowing it is the company that is responsible for the debt and not me. Last year my mother got a letter from a law firm requesting for me to be present. I went and was asked questions without legal representation. I was afraid of what the attorney was asking so I inform the attorney I have legal representation and would not answer any questions. I move a lot because of my mother inability to pay her rent so I usually do n't get follow up mail. HSBC is the company that issued me the credit card for the organization. Their collection agency has went to court in New York and put a judgment against me. I was never served or was informed about anything. Not once I was given the opportunity to give my side.
