Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia
collection on warrant in debt
if the defendant pays the original debt due but does not cover the collection cost (i.e. court fees, service processing fee), am i able to request judgment on the amount still remaining as a balance due to those charges?

Yes, if they've been included in the warrant, but you should first make a formal written demand to the defendant debtor for payment before asking the court to enter a judgment for these amounts.
