Creditor got default judgement - levy on acct
From an account that was from 09/2001 I JUST found out I got a levy on my checking account. I do not know of any certified letter received. I dug through some mail and found a letter that was sent through regular mail but had the wrong address (State Highway 903 instead of 303) Therefore I do not believe I was properly served. This is in the NY courts.
The account was sold to an asset company and their lawyers are the ones putting the levy on the account. The account originated in NJ but 2 years ago I moved to NY which is where the judgement is filed now.
Seeing this account is over 6 1/2 years old, and has been deliquent since 2002, I was wondering if the SOL would play factor. NY is 6 years and I have found NJ to be one of two, either 3 years or 6 years. Some websites state 3 and some state 6. I am unsure which one it is.
Would anyone think it's possible to move this back into NJ courts and try the SOL approach as well as vacate judgement due to improper serve?
Please help, I got to represent myself now that I found out about this.
Process? Vacate default judgement (I assume write letter to court requesting this) Then request to be moved to origin state? Request proof of ownership (never dealt with the asset company so I want to make sure they have the right to collect debt for original creditor) then ask for debt validation including original contract signed?
Please let me know if I'm on the right track and how to do it if possible!
I appreciate all help!!
