Legal Answers
- Q. received a call regarding a Best Buy cc purchase over 25 years ago. The purchase was under 500.00 but was advised 2400.0
- A: In no uncertain terms, tell them that you do not owe the money. I am assuming that you have not made a payment in more than 3 years. Do not admit in writing that you owe or owed the money. The SC Statute of Limitations is 3 years but you cannot have made a payment or admitted in writing that you owe or owed the money or the time is extended.

- A: You will need to file a motion to compel and for sanctions if the company is ignoring the subpoena. This is done pursuant to Rule 11 and should get you the desired result. You need to send a letter threatening to file the motion to the attorney for the company.
Unless your case is in Magistrate Court which normally does not have a motion's practice or the business is not incorporated, they must be represented by an attorney and the officer/owner cannot appear on behalf of the company.
I will caution you that just because you get an Order for Sanctions or a judgment, you may still not be able to collect.
Hopefully, the company doing the work is licensed. If it is licensed, ... Read More
