another collection after judgement?

Submitted by kickers on Tue, 12/09/2008 - 16:42

I had outstanding credit card balance and providian got another debt collerctor to try to settle account, we had an arbitrator and went to court they still put a judgement against me but i agreed to pay certain amount to this law firm but they were suppose to make it right with the credit people but didnt,anyway i had been making payments each month as i ask them to send me bill everymonth and they did for awhile ad for last few months no bill,,then another collection company is after me for the same debt. how can they do this after they already have judgement against me?

Once a judgment is made against an outstanding debt, the creditor can withdraw money either from your wage (wage garnishment) or through garnishment of your bank account only upto the judgment amount. The creditor can transfer the right to collect the outstanding debt to another collection agency but that collection agency can collect only the outstanding judgment amount which you have not paid yet. You can simply send a debt validation letter to the collection agency to check whether they actually has the right to collect your debt.

Yes, I too think that you should go for debt validation first. The new collection agency has to validate the debt within 30 days from the date of receipt of you letter. A proper debt validation would include a copy of the original debt agreement and the proof that the right to collect the debt has been transferred to the collection agency by the original creditor and the amount of the debt outstanding. If you find any discrepancy, you can always dispute it with the OC and the CA.

Yes, a debt validation will help you find out whether you really owe the debt to the collection agency or not. If they can properly validate your debt then you can pay off the outstanding debt to the CA else you should not. This is because as far as I know, if the right to collect the debt is not transferred to the CA and you pay off the outstanding amount to the CA, you may need to pay it again to the original creditor. So debt validation is a must before you make any payment.

Once you recieve debt validation and only when you recieve it you could call the new collection agency about getting payment arrangements on this old debt. I can not stress enough not to do this until you have had the debt validated. Maybe this collector purchased the debt for less and may be willing to cut a better deal than the other place. It never hurts to ask or try. Let them know if they can validate the debt then you will make an honest effort to set up debt repayment and ask if they can take a debt settlement. If you don't ask it may not be offered.

If you can properly negotiate with the collection agency for a discount on the outstanding amount, they generally agree to 60% to 80% of the outstanding amount to settle off your account. Even if they want to settle for 60% to 80%, you should make them agree to PFD agreement. What I think is that they can agree to such low amounts because they purchase the debt at 50% of the value.

That is true unless the debt is really old then they may purchase it for pennies on the dollar. I believe this is how some can get settlements as low as 50% of the debt. The only dangerous part about that is if the debt is that old then it is usually past the SOL and you put yourself at risk by paying anything on the account. In scenarios like this it is best to not pay on the debt and wait for the 7 years to pass and then it will fall off.

Not sure what everybody is talking about debt validation??? All i know is i have already gone last year for a debt that was about 5 years old for litigation and i have been paying a lawyers office a certain amount each month,,then they quit sending me bills and all of a sudden another lawyers office starts calling me telling me i owe this money for a judgemenjt that has already been taking by someone else,,how can they take a judgement out on something that already has a judgement on it???

Hi Debbies
If you have a judgment on an existing debt and you have been paying for the judgment, then you must have the bills which you have already paid. You can now find out the difference between the judgment amount and the amount you have already paid. Now if you have already paid for the judgment amount, you should bother about their calls. But if you find that the entire judgment amount has not been paid, you can contact the previous law firm to whom you have been paying the judgment money till now and find it out from them.

I would find those records or call the law office you were making payments to. Hopefully they can clear things up there.

I have entered into a debt management program. I know that I will probably be hounded by debt collectors. Can they take me to court and garnish my social security check?

I had a similar issue a few years ago .I filed with h and r block and did a RAL, the money didn't come in the 1-2 days so I got on the phone ..Turns out the feds took my money beaucse i had a School loan in default, it was a fed loan though ..Since then I have done a little research and from what I understand only federal or state agencies can touch your refund, not just anyone.

My gratitude goes out to the entire team of Hack West Professional Credit Repair. Someone left information ((424) 307 2638, HACKWEST@WRITEME.COM) under a comment section on helping to repair credit. I was interested in knowing more and if the hacking team still does this. I had poor credit, an old bankruptcy and problems with getting approved for an apartment due to 2 broken leases from the past which I explained to HACK WEST when I made contact with them. They cleaned my credit records and they boosted my credit score within just few days of contacting them without charging much. They also referred me to their website. Thanks to you all for this great gesture.

My recent experience made me understand that the credit score doesn’t matter nearly as much as the actual information in your credit report, few months ago I decided to buy a home suited for my family. I didn’t have the best track record with funds in my past and my credit profile was faulty, as expected my application got turned down. This is both a recommendation and an appreciation of the good job that XAP credit solution did for me. After reading various testimonies on trulia I decided to give them a trial. And believe me when I say they were up to the task as they cleared all the repos and negatives from my report. My report is squeaky clean. My score is now 785 this might sound sketchy but XAP is a life saver, it’s almost like a miracle. Mail xapcreditsolution@gmail.com or text 972 597 9704 to reach them.

If you want a credit repair agency that’s legit and rewarding, then you need to contact ACTION CREDIT SOLUTIONS. I contacted them last month to remove my eviction and judgement from my report and to help increase my score, they told me in less than 14 days they could get my credit fixed. I was desperate and needed help because my life was crumbling and ACTION CREDIT SOLUTIONS removed my eviction and judgement and also increased my score to a high 800. I’ll forever remain grateful to you guys. ACTIONCREDITSOLUTIONS@GMAIL.COM and (737) 201-7316 is their contact. Thank you for helping me!

If you are looking for credit repair and you are reading this then your search is over. I am a realtor, after confirming how two of my clients that had bad credit were able to fix their credit three weeks ago by Action credit solutions who helped increase their score to 760 and 790 respectively and also helped them remove hard inquiries and couple collections. I contacted them to help fix my wife’s credit and they delivered. I think they are amazing and worthy doing business with. My clients are now in their own house. Contact them via ACTIONCREDITSOLUTIONS@GMAIL.COM or (737) 201-7316.

Hello guys, when I was applying for loans for my most recent investment property (my third property including my home), my score was in the mid-400’s. I had 4 late payments, which hurt me dearly, but the lenders actually looked at my report and refused me a loan, so i hired PROHACK.NET@AOL.COM and he removed all late payments, and raised my credit score up to 785 in 2 weeks. I was indeed pleased. You can call or text him on +1(252) 307-3167.

Thank you PROHACK NETWORK.
