Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland

If a judgment has been paid in full can the law firm come back and charge me 'extra' fees that were not included in the original judgement? Eventhough, there are fees listed in the orgial judgement that were already paid in full? I am in the state of Maryland.

The only amount you are required to pay is the amount listed in the judgment. No more. No less. With that said, law firms usually don't make it a habit of going after people for more than the law firm is owed, especially when that amount is set forth very clearly in a court judgment/order. So I have a feeling you are leaving out MANY facts.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.******
