Re: Re: "Renewable" SOL??? Help! Thanks lB for being patient with me. Struggling with the whole SOL for judgement vs. reporting. My next question was already asked by paw, quoted again here: I have a question that I didn't see addressed yet. If the judgement was originally entered in Michigan but the OP has since moved to a different state, wouldn't they have to have the judgement domesticated (I think that is what it is called) in order to collect? paw67 This is exactly what has happened to me. They "transferred" the judgement against me several years ago and are now trying to collect after not hearing from them for many years (Still within the SOL) So my follow up question is; History: after they posted the judgement, they (law office acting as CA) continued collection activity by clearing out my checking accounts and sending me letters, but confused my file with someone else and were sending me wholly incorrect info demanding payment. Additionally, they were very difficult to deal with and wouldn't even return my phone calls. I finally sent them a letter stating violations and requested it revert to the OC. They sent a follow up letter stating that they were no longer handling my case(about 3 years ago). Last month the OC law office called and said they were returning this back to the out of state (local to me) law office for continued collection activity and possibly garnishment. The in-state judgement is still within the SOL, so what are my choices? 1) Because I have violations against them from 3 yrs ago, do I have any recourse to sue them? 2) Because I demanded they stop collection activity and revert back to the OC, and they responded with a letter of compliance, do I not have reason to counter-sue if they continue to try and collect or garnish? Thanks for all your help and time everyone!
Re: "Renewable" SOL??? Help I don't know your circumstances, but have you given thought to making yourself "judgment proof". -- No known job, and no bank accounts -- cash only. It's not a pretty site, but an option. I don't know if you're working, in my my state there are certain sources of income that cannot be garnished (like Social Security, or welfare). You never said how much $$ we're talking here. If it's a bunch of $$, I'd figure you'd want to consult a lawyer. If it's not that much, I'd guess you'd want to just agree to a very small periodic payment if they can legally collect (judgment properly renewed). Since you're out-of-state, couldn't you just write and/or call the original court clerk and ask for copies of your file? There are likely fees, but worth it if you go see a lawyer. I hope this helps.

Re: Re: "Renewable" SOL??? Help Goldhummin, They know already where I work. I am a salaried employee with benefits I need for my family, mortgage, and bills, so becoming judgement proof would be a step backwards. The alledged debt is around $7k. So here is another good question: If they filed a "foreign judgement" in my state, does it start the SOL timeclock over again, or does it belong to the original judgement SOL? No renewels have happened that I am aware of...or at least been notified of. Yes it did help. Thanks goldhummin!!!
Re: Re: Re: Re: "Renewable" SOL??? Help! I think I would have to do that within the SOL of challenging the judgement, which I did not because at the time I didn't know what to do. So, is it too late to dispute it?
I think I would have to do that within the SOL of challenging the judgement, which I did not because at the time I didn't know what to do. So, 1*is it too late to dispute it? Mike 1*Who has the answer?
