Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

judgement entered

From what I've read it seems there is no way of reducing or negotiating a credit card judgement that has been entered against you. Is this true? If true, then I would have to pay the full amount of the judgement and if so, how do I go about doing that? Do I contact the courthouse, the original creditor, the attorney whose name is on the judgement? or would it be better to hire an attorney to help me go through this situation so I'm assured it will be taken care of properly. Thanks for any advice.

Re: judgement entered

Once they have a judgment you are at a serious disadvantage. You can file a motion to vacate or strike the judgment but it gets expensive. Depending on the amount of the judgment, it may be simpler and cheaper to just pay it.
