| | | Credit Card Jugement Against Me I have three different account with BOA. Now, I have one judgement against me. My bank accounts get frozen. I still have one bank account active. Will they frozen my other account later. Should I take all the money out first? The lawyer offer me 65% settlement , they will not waive the interest, court fees. They give me end of this month to accept the offer. They told me next month will be 85% settlement. Should I take the offer now, or I can get something better later? Please help
orginal balance: 12,000 judgement amount: 14,600 settlement: 10,000
I need to borrow money from my relatives, friends, in order to settle.
Advise should I get the settlement now or wait for better settlement.
They said they will charge me 9% interest if I don't pay it now. Can they do that? | | | | | | |

| Please keep this up-dated. I would really like to know how this turns out for you. I'm in a simpler situation but they have not offered any settlement. Just a judgement against me. I am going to try and have the judgement reversed since I can prove that they will not talk with me or even try an settle this account.
Has a judgement ever been reversed by a judge? |

| Since this is a judgment, the rate of interest would be governed by the law in your state or county and would not be up to the creditor to determine.
If you can borrow from family, to eliminate this judgment, I would do so.
If they continue to levy your account, and possibly garnish your wages, I can only imagine that would create even further problems with the bills and debt you still have to take care of.
As to the other BOA accounts, if they too are delinquent, there certainly does exist the possibility of further legal action on them as well.
Good Luck to you. |

First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone elses. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. Normally I would move this, but since it does apply partially to this thread I'm going to leave it here. However, I request that you start your own thread fopr any followup.
Judgements can be vacated if sufficient legal grounds exist. Unfortunately, the plaintiff's refusal to talk to you or negotiate a settlement is not grounds for reversal. |
