You can expect a call from them asking you to pay up. If you don't make some kind of arrangement, you can expect a Writ of Execution from the sheriff. You can make an arrangement with the sheriff, but now HIS fees will also be added to whatever you owe. So it's in your best interest to pay the CA before the sheriff gets involved. Are you collecting unemployment or disability or any kind of govt. assistance? Edited March 16, 2011 by workingpoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A judgment isn't like a collection account. It lasts for 20 years and can be renewed once, for another 20 years. It can also remain on your CR for up to 7 years after it is satisfied. Having a judgment in NJ is like having a kid. Once you have it, you're stuck with it for a loooong time. The only way you are going to get rid of it is to pay it off or declare BK.

Guest usctrojanalum Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 it can find its way back onto your report as a satisfied judgment (if you were to ever pay it off), but not as an active one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingpoor Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Be sure to check all three of your reports. Just because it's off one, it may not be off all three. I have a judgment that shows up on TU and EX, but nothing on EQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
