757to314 0 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hi! I am new here. I pulled my credit a month ago and found a judgement from 2014. I never knew about the judgement as I was never served. When I opened the credit card I lived in Virginia. Due to my daughter having special needs we moved to Missouri in 2013. I was completly unaware of the judgement. They supposely served me at an old address. No family lived there. I called Portfolio to resolve the issue and they would not negotaite. They will accept the whole payment for 1100.00. As I talked to them they kept threatning me telling me they will take more legal action against me if I don't pay. I called back a second time to resolve the account rep told me they will take payment for 943.80 they won't settle for less. That is the judgement amount. They told me they can't settle a judgement because they have to get the court to sign off on it. Again they started to threaten me so I can told them I would have to call them back. I did contact Chesapeake courts and received a copy of the warrant in debt and all of the paperwork. Where do I go from here? Contact PRA? Courthouse? lawyer? I have no issues settling the debt. I really do want the judgement to be vacated. This account shows a total of three times on my credit report. Orginal creditor, collection account and judgement Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clydesmom 1,218 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Go to www.consumeradvocates.org and consult a consumer attorney. If PRA used sewer service at an address they knew you were not at to obtain that judgment then they violated the FDCPA and you can use this to try and get it vacated. DO NOT delay. You have limited time to try and undo this now that you found it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
