Like most everyone these days, we're behind on a few bills and scrabbling to catch up. Still, nothing too terribly bad.

So, I was mightily shocked yesterday when a process server showed up at my door with a subpeona; I was being sued for the outstanding balance on my bank credit card.

What's this? Not so much as a form letter? Just slapped with a lawsuit?

I stewed about the thing all night. Then, I got to leafing through the subpeona which ran to many pages due to the inclusion of the entire "credit agreement" from the credit card agency.
Finally, I got to the last page....It wasn't me.
Same name, different address, different zip code, different total amount owed, and different account number.
When they issued the thing, they must have just looked for the first listing of my name in the phone book.
Pays to read the fine print.....
 
Lmaoo!!!!
You should sue the bank and service out fit for mental anguish!!!!
 
Geez, that is certainly cause for some palpitations!!! Thank God it wasn't for YOU!
 
That adrenalin dump feeling when you first receive it followed buy the anguish of the process you are headed for.Trying to understand and think what you purchased and where the bill comes from. Then the massive relief when you realize it's not you.....Then ANGER at them for putting you through that s**t!!:mad:

That sounds like a fairly crappy day......

Glad it all worked out:thumbup:
 
You should call the other guy and tell him to sue the bastards for giving out his private information.
