Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
I had a credit card judgement against me. They tried to levy my account that only had social security funds in it.
My bank reversed it.
I am unemployed, and not healthy.
Now 3 years later I have had my same account frozen with a judgement of $10 million dollars.
The original debt was for $20k. I was sent a letter a couple years ago asking for significantly less. I can not pay it.
This new action just occurred, my bank is dragging its heels about reversing this.
I was never notified by the new ambulance chasing attorney. nor was my son, I use his address as address of record.
He is in CA. I formerly lived in CA. I now live out of the country.
So what can I do?
How coulda judge hand out a new judgment for $10 million, on a debt of maybe $20k, and to a new attorney, when there is already a judgement against me for the same debt.?

I would like to see the paperwork on this one. Maybe you have a lawsuit against the attorney and/or collection agency under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Certainly if there is already a judgment on the same debt the new judgment can be vacated.
