Re: default judgement

The company could use post judgment collection practices (as with any judgment) on you to include garnishment or attaching the judgment to property. I would try to work with the company to come up with an equitable way to satisfy the judgment (payment plan or partial lump sum). Then get them to file a satisfaction of that judgment with the court. Please contact me if I can assist.
