Hi Nelly, Thanks so much for answering my last question. I had a judgment against me that I lost by default. The summons was given to someone else other than me. Its a writ of garnishment against my bank acct. where they took out maybe a few dollars. Now 2 years later, can they still come after my account. What can they legally do to me now? They call me after 9pm, is that allowed even if they have a judgment. I don't know if this is originally my account. I had asked more info and they can't give me much. I had sent a debt validation letter and I haven't received it back yet....but they keep trying to call me. What can I do now? Please help me. Thanks you again for your time. I appreciate your help.


Sending a debt validation after you've had a judgment against you is a waste of time. You may be able to get the judgment vacated for improper service (since you were never served the summons). Do you dispute the debt? If they have a judgment against you they can levy your bank account at any time for either the full balance in your account or the full balance of the debt you owe, whichever is less.

I'm assuming, from your name, that you're in NV? If not, I need to know what state you're in because SOL varies by state. If so, the SOL for a judgment is 6 years. However, judgments are renewable. This means the judgment can be renewed, indefinitely, until it's paid in full. Are you employed? If your wages aren't being garnished and your only concern is your bank account, you can take steps to protect your money but, ultimately, if you owe the money, you should pay the debt. If you're unsure if you owe the money, then you should try to get the judgment vacated and get the debt validated.

Yes, I am in Nevada. I see that the SOL is 6 years and it can not be renewed. I would like to verify that it is my debt before I settle with them. I am not employed and there is nothing in my account...but I am married and my husband is employed. I own a car, but I never removed the previous lien holder off the title in fear that the ppl that is suing me will take my car. I look online and there was a time limit to do a judgment of vacate, 6 months after the fact.. Is there anything I can do to validate the debt?
