Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia
court Judgements
I have a judgement against me for a specified amount and making monthly payments (agreed upon) with a law firm that is collecting on behalf of their client. Can the law firm continue to collect for more than the judgement amount?

The law firm(or whoever is collecting the debt) cannot collect more than the judgment amount, which could include the total debt owed plus any additional costs which were assessed, including interest and possibly attorney's fees.
