Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Filing an appeal on a judgment
I've been trying to settle an old car debt since 2002. The car was repo'd in Oct. 1999. I received a settlement agreement from them in July of 2004. I added to the agreement a request that the company update the credit reporting agencies that we have reached a settlement agreement and after a few payments would mark ''paying as agreed as per settlement''. I signed the agreement and returned it to them. They refused to sign it and proceeded with the court date. They got a judgment against me within 2 weeks after I signed the agreement. Can I appeal the judgment due to the fact that they sent me an agreement that I signed and returned prior to the court date? What, if any, is the process for appealing a judgment? I have all copies of correspondence from their attorney. Their is nothing in writing stating the reasons that they refused to sign their own proposal after it was presented to me. Can I appeal a judgment once it is already ordered?

Re: Filing an appeal on a judgment

Your addition of terms to the agreement was not binding upon the creditor. Without commenting on the merits, you have a right of appeal.
