Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois
My husband had a car accident where our insurance had lapsed. The plaintiff one a judgement of 1497.11 awarded against him in june. In august we came to a written agreement with the plaintiff for 5/week in august. In september we started paying 25/month and had every month through march which was the last check I sent. The plaintiff held my last 2 checks and admitted to having march's check which read please cash these checks or I will quit sending them. She went and had a record of unsatisfied judgement filed against him and his license and registration were suspended. Two weeks later he had the judge agree to the payment plan but the plaintiff showed up late and had the judgement vacated. We are wondering if all of this nonsense and the time out of work and such would constitute a law suite

You are under an obligation to pay as you have agreed. What do you are if the recipient holds on to the check or not. Pay what you owe and consider that money gone if it still remains in your account. That is your obligation.
