Card Rebate

Your creditor threatened a court-ordered judgment but you thought that, if you waited long enough, he would get tired of pursuing you and let it go! Unfortunately, that’s not how it turned out and now a judgment has been issued against you.

The short answers is, yes, you should absolutely pay a judgment. There is an exception, though, if you feel that a “Motion to Vacate” is applicable. If your judgment is vacated due to a Motion to Vacate, you will not be legally obligated to pay the debt. However, with regard to the contract, you may still be liable.

If you have a debt which is subsequently sent to collections, you will drastically damage your credit score. Your credit score will be damaged even more significantly if your creditor decides to seek a judgment.

A judgment is a legal remedy sought by a creditor in order to obtain payment of a debt. In case you don’t normally read the fine print when you apply for a credit card or take out a loan, you actually agree to this. Yep, you agree to be sued if you don’t make your payments.
