nati32 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hi, I'm being sued by a collection/law agency even though I am making the agreed upon monthly amount. Is this legal? I can only assume they want to add the interest and lawyer fees....which is what they added to the judgment amount. Does anyone have any good input for my judgment response? I should have consulted when writing my answer, I ended up agreeing to the debt which has left me at a disadvantage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy01 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Do you have the agreement in writing? If so what are the terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nati32 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 It was a verbal agreement with the law firm for $300 monthly. They were to re-evaluate my debt after 6 months which would be Aug. The debt was for 4300 which I have paid down to 2700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy01 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I am still in the learning process here.I have learned a lot from this board and the number one is do not make payment arrangements with CA's and do not give them your banking information. If you don't have it in writing then it doesn't exist.What you will need to do now is wait for your summons and answer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debtorshusband Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 It seems to me that if you made an agreement to pay off the debt, and you are meeting your side of the agreement, it is not proper for them to sue you. After all, you are no longer in breach, since you are complying with an agreement which supercedes the earlier breach.But I might be wrong. Consult a lawyer (find one through www.naca.net). That's the best way to get the right answer to your question.Good luck,DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest usctrojanalum Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Not sure why you would agree to something like this verbally and not get it in writing. Yes, they can sue you - unless there was a specific agreement saying they may not proceed to litigation as long as the payments are not in default.
