Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: Request for statement from Plaintiff

dont sign anything that is untrue, ever. if the judgment has been paid you can sign a letter saying that if you want to.

Re: Request for statement from Plaintiff

Did you collect the judgment?

I am skeptical of why you would do this.

Re: Request for statement from Plaintiff

You should not sign any type of letter saying that you should never have received your judgment. If you have been paid by the insurance company, you should have filed an Acknowledgement of Satisfaction of Judgment and provided it to either the defendant or the insurance company. That form is the only document you are required to provide to the defendant. The fact that the defendant's credit report reflects your judgment and may impair the defendant's credit is an issue between the defendant and creditors, and should not be a concern to you.

If you have already received all of the money you are entitled to under the judgment, and have not already provided an Acknowledgement of Satisfaction of Judgment form, you should obtain the form from the court in wich the judgment was entered, complete it, provide an original to the defendant, and file an original with the Court. Once that is done, you have fulfilled your obligations under the law.

If you have not already been paid in full, and you sign any sort of document acknowledging that you should never have received the judgment in the first place, you jeapordize your ability to ever collect on your judgment. Unpaid judgments in California accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, by the way.
