I recently found out I am involved in a civil lawsuit for a domain I purchased. I put a website up about how I was treated like dirt, and pointed gave other business addresses around the area to go to. I am not profiting from it, I don’t know any of the business owners, I was just unhappy with the owner who sent me out in tears over him not accepting a credit card wanting me to buy a limit of $10, when I asked why he ripped into me and belittled me. Long story short, I put the site up. I’m now being informed as a result I’m being taken to court over the misappropriation of their domain name, violation of the their protected tradename, the disparagement of their business, as well as a claim under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, 15 USCA 1125 (d).

I have searched the database, I can find no trademark. It’s a small business, one small building with about 3 or 4 employees which are spread through a 24 hour period.

My question is this, what do I do? I have no money, no job and can’t afford an attorney. If a judgment is issued, I have nothing. I own no home, the only thing I do have is a car, and old car. There is no income to garnish, though my wife works. Can they garnish her for it? What happens if I have nothing to garnish? I read they could seize my bank account, which would net them all of about 20 bucks most days. Is this something I should have an attorney, if so is there an organization that would help with representation? I’m in Michigan if the state matters.
