My husband recieved a judgement on a car he had in 01, he was not contacted until 3/08, is he liable?

Question

the paperwork shows it was filed in 11/07 but he was not served until 3/08. he also responded to the court and we did not hear anything until a judgement to be garnished was issued.

Answer 1

All states are different, but in the two I've lived in, there is a ten year span where they can render judgement on a vehicle or liability.  There should also be a statute of limitations on the judgement, but I think it's at least a year.  Check into the laws of your state, but it looks like he has no choice but to pay up.  A garnishment is not something you can stop...without changing jobs, of course, and then, it's just a matter of time before they find him again.

God bless you, Darlin'.

Answer 2

Depends on what State you live in and how long the statute of limitations is.

I have posted a link in the source box so you can look up your State. If the S.O.L. has passed go back to court and dispute the judgment, if not your stuck.

Answer 3

he is not responsible the eople who tricked him are but evidence is the key i dout tha theyll get away with it

and if they do then bad karma and youll end up seeing them shut down or youll gat a large amount of cash in the end of their careers.
