Help with deposition subpoena?

I live in California, and I was sued on 6/9/03 for $45,000 by the company I had leased a stretch limo from. They won the judgement for that amount, since I was a no-show. From 06/03 until 12/04 they served me with three ''orders of examinations''. I have nothing, so they got nothing. At the last ''order of examination'', they did not even show up, but I did. I was looking at the Register of Action for my case, and it says ''OEX-Sworn and Ordered Discharged''. Honestly I don't know what that means. They also issued a few ''Writs of Executions'', and were able to levy a bank account of mine and got $3700. So, I don't have an account anymore to avoid this. This all leads to my current issue with this creditor. I received a ''Deposition Subpoena for production of business records'' from HSBC, dated 4/3/08. However I am only an authorized user of the credit card account in question, not the primary account holder. Can they still get these records? If so, will this affect the primary account holder? Thanks

Re: Help with deposition subpoena?

I think you're saying that you have a credit card that was, by way of example, issued to a corporation you work for and you are an authorized user, but you are not responsible for paying the bill. If I am understanding this correctly, you need to make the primary account holder aware of the deposition subpoena so that they have the option to take action to oppose it.
