Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Re: debt collection

You would likely need to have the judgment transcribed in New York and then follow specific post judgment enforcement procedures. It is advisable to have an attorney handle this for you. This area of law is our specialty, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.

Re: debt collection

You can, under the rules of full faith and credit, bring that judgment into New York.

Re: debt collection

The enforceability of your NJ judgment in NY depends on how you got it. Default judgments are not entitled to "full faith and credit" in NY. If you have a default judgment you can't just file the NJ judgment in NY and will need to follow a different procedure and will need an attorney. Check out our website for additional info on collections topics in the Frequently Answered Questions (FAQs) at http://www.starrandstarr.com/faqs.htm

Engaging an experienced NY collections attorney to handle your matter is advisable. You want one who is experienced in collections, bonded for claims referred, has malpractice insurance and is AV rated.
