Question
A judgment was filed against me in 2002. I recently ordered a copy of my credit report and discovered this judgment. The credit report judgment says I owe 661.00 but when I called to pay it the attorney handling this case tells me I owe 2200.00 now. I asked him who the original creditor is and its someone that I have never heard of. Also I never received a summons to appear in court. I tried to just make a deal with him anyway just to get this problem out of my life but this attorney is very hard to deal with. He is very intimidating and I am terrified of talking to him. What are my rights in regards to this judgment? Can he really make me pay 3X more than my debt is really for? HELP!
Nikole,
It looks like the credit bureau or the law firm didn't update the account balance.
Depending on the state you reside they may only have to serve you via newspaper, or by filing a motion for alternate service.
A judgment will accumulate interest until it's been satisfied.
