My question involves judgment recovery in the State of: GA
I have a judgement for about $90,000 for medical debt from almost 9 years ago. A default judgement was awarded in Sep of 01. In Sept of last year I decided I could rest easy at this point because it was now expired.
Yesterday I got a letter from the collection agency that said:
----------------------------------
Dear Sir/Madam,
judgement was obtained against you on 09-17-01 from the state court of XXXX county in the amount of $ 86588.08 , plus court costs and interest. The total amount due today is $ 164423.84.
The judgement may be placed on the general execution docket creating a lien on real estate or personal property.
To avoid further action being taken to enforce this judgement, contact me by 03-24-09 to arrange payment of this debt.
Sincerely,
P King EXT 143
----------------------------------
What should I do? The SOL in GA is 7 years for judgements so I dont know if they just thought it was worth the stamp to send letters to a bunch of people or what.
Thanks for any advice you could offer.
Craig
