Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Jersey
Student Loan Judgement
I recently a summons to for repayment of student loans approx 18 years ago. The original lending instituion went out of business in the early '90's this the first attent the Higher Education Assistance Authority requested repayment of the loan. I did not get any other opportunity to repay the loan other than the Civil Summons. I contacted the lawyers to make payment arrangements and they agreed, but she indicated that they can not retract the request for judgment. Is there anything I can do to avoid the judgement. I explained to them that I am willing to pay and would have if previously informed.

No promises, but you may be able to have any attorney ask the Court to vacate the judgment if you have a good reason why you did not oppose the lawsuit.

STOP! Get a personal consultation with a lawyer who handles business matters as soon as possible. Don't make any payments or promisses to pay without doing this. Don't negotiate by yourself. It is possible that you will wind up paying much more than you have to if you disregard this advice.
