Judgement Question

Yes, you should have received a summons to appear in court from my understanding. I have an old judgment on mine, that when I filed bankruptcy, I didn't run a credit report, and saw it on there. I was never served. By the time I realized it, I already filed bankruptcy and included the debit in my bankruptcy. Since it was several years before I looked at my credit report again, and didn't realize it was on there till I applied for credit, my layer told me I could file an amendment with the courts, but it might mess with the dates. It falls off in August of next year, so i'm just going to let it fall off. If they decide they want to peruse it again, then I'll show them I included it in my bankruptcy. But I was never served, and I've been at my place of employment & where I live for 9 years, so it would be easy to find me. I'm surprised they didn't take your state taxes. I know here, they do

I'm not sure since it is the government that is doing this. I am sure someone will be around who knows the proper answer.

Just hang around......sumone will be here to help u

So I sent a letter to the state taxation offices and this morning someone called me to explain the situation. He said that because I had made a payment installment arrangement for that debt and then failed to pay, the judgement was automatically entered. I asked if there was a required court proceeding or service of papers and he said no...I guess all that is in the fine print I never read. He said it is good that the judgement is recorded as satisfied and it stays on a report for 7 years (so I am looking at 2011...yuck).

He was really sweet and explained it thoroughly, wished me Merry Christmas and all. I am disappointed that it has to stay on there, but at least someone took the time, on Christmas Eve no less, to respond to my questions.

:?

Anything tax or federal related doesn't need a court injuncture to get a judgement or garnish wages/withhold taxe refunds.

Sorry, Forgot to log in.

I'm not sure but I think you can add a statement to your credit report to explain what happened.
I know that when I applied for a loan this year I had to write a note explaining some of the things that appeared on my report. This was all I needed to get the loan.

Federal & State tax liens do not require court. If you do not pay the due debt,they file lien with the court and the information squirrels at lexis-nexis pick it up and report it to your credit report. It can stay seven years from date of payment. Most of these government agencies rarely answer disputes so if it is paid I would dispute it multiple times until they delete it. Good luck.

They got administrative law judges there "so-ordering" your agreements to pay, and part of that so-order means that they can just place the judgement on your file.
