I was never told that my bank account had been subpeonaed until a year later. They sent it to me at the end of March 2013. Then they said in the MSJ that they supeonaed my account 3/21/13 which is not true and if they did, they didn't inform me. Also, it would have been their second subpeona because the first was done in 2012 before they made contact with me. The Is that fraudulent? They even have a copy of my application from the bank with my personal info and signature for when I opened the account. It also states my social security number and my driver's license no.

During Discovery they did not submit a signed contract by me, no contract with Hirshberg and OC. I asked for the Subpoena order, they stated alread enclosed, but it was the one from 2012. I asked for the Bill of Sale and Assignment of Account in question, issued to the Plaintiff by OC just to see if they needed to make a correction because the OC signed to someone else but without signatures or affidavit (at least it wasn't included with the copy of the Bill of Sales sent to me). This is where I am. I have until May 22, 2013 or May 24, 2013 to finish this. Please help me and thank you all for taking the time to hear my plead.
