In Illinois, if a subpoena is left at your door and not handed directly to you, it is generally considered valid as long as it complies with legal requirements for service. However, you are not required to go to court simply because a subpoena is issued. If you believe the subpoena is invalid or you have valid reasons to contest it, you can file a motion to quash the subpoena with the court. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional for specific guidance based on your situation.

Can a civil defendant acting In Pro Per subpoena documents directly or must he subpoena through the court?

(I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.) The answer almost certainly depends on the rules of civil procedure for the jurisdiction in question. ...but that being said, in many cases the subpoena will need to be signed by either an attorney licensed to practice before that court, or the clerk of court. If so, you can get a blank, signed form from the clerk. Then, when you serve the subpoena, you must generally also file a copy of the subpoena and a "certificate of service" (documenting how and when you served the subpoena) with the court. This is presumably to establish a timeline, in case you need to petition the court to compel enforcement of an unanswered subpoena.

What can you do if a collection agency obtains a court order to place a hold on your bank account without your knowledge they claim a subpoena was sent to an address no longer lived at?

A subpoena has to be handed to the person directly involved and to no other person. They don't know their law well or they are trying to scare you! Did you ever think to ask who they handed this subpoena to? However, when you take out a loan, use a credit card then you should be responsible and they want their money, so they can use that court order to freeze your bank account. It's best to meet up with your debtor and come to some agreement. You want to keep your credit rating shiny and they just want their money, so they would be willing to come to some compromise.
