My first guess was that you made a typo in "Sep," but when I deliberately made that typo

set answerDay to "6-Seo"
set readData to "1-Sep"
set endData to "7-Jun"

set answerDay to date answerDay
date "Wednesday, August 6, 2003 12:00:00 AM"

In fact, if I use "6anything" it ignores everything in the quotes after "6" unless it is an actual month name or abbreviation (even if there are non alphanumerics between the number and the month name).

set answerDay to "6*&^%$Sep"
set answerDay to date answerDay

--> date "Saturday, September 6, 2003 12:00:00 AM"
