marshals notice

gillan--

you said that this debt went into collections 5 years ago. sol in your state is 6 years, that means that the debt collector has 6 years from date of last payment to sue you. After that, the SOL is expired and they can no longer legally take you to court to collect. when was the last payment made on this debt?

Also, check your county court clerk's office ASAP, to find out if they sued you already. A lot of CA's sue people using an old address, or even knowingly using a wrong address, that way, they can sue you and get a default judgment because you never get served, so you dont show up at court because you dont even know about the lawsuit against you. This is illegal, but fairly common today. if you find that you were sued, you should immediately send a certified letter to the court where the lawsuit was filed, requesting that they vacate the judgment due to improper service. The law requires them to serve the summons on you so that you can take advantage of your right to due process. If there was no lawsuit, then something's fishy because the marshals only collect after a civil suit has taken place.

something else to consider--you said that the name on the paper you got was Ronald Moses. This name is on the list of current NYC marshals, so apparently the guy is legit. its time to check those court clerk's offices, to see when you were sued and what happened.

I just got a notice from ronald moses. OMG what is this crap? He can come into my apt? I think I smell lawsuit, but these thugs know what they're doing. what have you other victims of his scare tactics found out?

my husband was also served papers in the mail by moses for his personal property but i have informed them that he does not live here and have not been living here since 1997 i have also return his mails to sender. They still send all his paper work to my address and now i have recieved a Marshal notice today a notice of execution against his personal property. This is my property not his what should i do. I have divorce papers proving we have been divorce since 1997.should i call this moses?

Contact the marshalls office and get them copies of your diveorce decree. See where it goes from there.

What exactly is a marshall in the city of New York? Are they some kind of law enforcement official? If so, I thought that in the matter of debt, the creditor can not involve law enforcement with it being a civil matter.

Google New York City Marshalls office.

Hey Gillian, The same thing is happening to me right now, I open my mail box and tadaa!!! I'm going crazy!!! but this is from bally's Maybe you can help me out and tell me what you did. Thanks

Guys, this was a very interesting thread...what ever happened with the OP?

Hey guys!! I got a bill and i dealt with Marshal Moses. If u show them respect they sure show u respect. I got the matter resolved quickly and without any aggravation.

I just received a notice of execution today. I have been trying to settle this debt with the collection agency for literally a year, and they have been totally unreasonable, insisting on a minimum payment I can't make. I called the Marshal's office, they asked how much I can pay a month, I told them, and they said fine, send it in, no fuss no hassles. Summation: deal with the Marshal's. They're reasonable people.

it can be hand written, when you go to court, attorneys dont bring in laptops and print out forms, stipulations are written by hand, and the forms are written by hand, unless someone has a computerized system to bring back to the office, also, payments do go directly in the marshals name, as they are appointed by the city, but work under themselves kind of like private contractors for the city, ignore a hand written letter court stipulation by a city official or judge, see what happens

I was looking online to find help, two days ago I received the same letter!! Can you please tell me what happened or what I should do??
