Re: Judgement issued by court

The judgement creditor can only demand six percent interest on the judgement. However, he is not required to accept a payout unless the District Justice order it. If a request for execution for a levy was made a demand for those cost added to judgement is proper. I suggest you contact an attorney or the District Justice. Be prepared to proove the payments you made.
