Farber and Brand suing me for an old debt

I received a letter today from Farber and Brand. They are attempting to sue me for a credit card debt that is old. I was originally taken to court for payment, but unfortunately defaulted. The judgment in that case was filed 11/2010. Has the SOL expired? They also sent a copy of an ENTRY OF APPEARANCE. I'm confused and don't know what to do. This debt is not even on my record anymore. I could use some good advice if anyone can help.




The SOL period of a judgment depends on the state you're in. In some states, the SOL period of a judgment is valid for 7 years. In some states, it's 10 years. In some states, it is valid for even 20 years. Moreover, some state laws permit creditors to renew judgments. So, that would be a bigger problem for you.

Pay off the judgment and get rid of this once for all.

Yes, it is better to pay off the judgment. But, before doing that, you can check out your state laws once.

Hi!
The statute of limitations (SOL) varies from state to state. So, you need to check with your state attorney general's office or a consumer law attorney to find out the SOL in your state.
If the debt has become time-barred, you are not legally bound to pay it off. Otherwise, call 800-DEBT-913 for immediate debt help!
