Oh Dear...being taken to court...need legal eagles.

Apparently, the company 'Burton and Associates' has been retained by 'Allied Publishing' to sue me for 'Breach of Contract'.

Allied claim I enrolled for a subscription for some trade publications back in 2003 or 2004.
It seems I sent in a check for some deposit amount and because of that I am under legal obligation to follow through with purchase of magazines for 5 years.

This happened apparently, just after my divorce in 2003. Although what they say is true, they are now suing for $1600.00 plus expenses.

They have , ( Burton and Associates,) left messages saying..." We will obtain a bench warrant...get a lawyer...bring your check book...etc " among other things.

I'm sure thousands of folk sign up for magazines and never follow through or move or what ever.

When I spoke to them this afternoon, I told them to go ahead serve me and I would then see what my options are.

I hate owing anyone...but his seems a little extreem.

What do you all think ?
