Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Tennessee
Furniture rental company has a judgement against me. My divorce papers state my ex was to pay this company. This is from 1994, 15 years ago. Is there any way to get these people to leave me alone?

I hate to tell you but your only recourse is to pay them and then sue your ex. The deal the furniture rental company had is with you, or so it appears. The court cannot change that deal but it can order your ex to pay it. However, that does not relieve you of the debt - it only give you a cause of action against him if he does not pay. You do not have to pay them before you can bring an action against your ex but if you want them to leave you alone that is probably the only way.
Good luck ....
