“Dear Steve,
In 2005 Discover card got a judgement against me in MN. My now ex-husband maxed out the card and tried to use techniques from a debt elimination company and failed. I have done nothing about it, I am stubbornly resolved it is not my debt, bit I was the card holder. Now they have filed a foreign judgement on me in ND, I just want to somehow pay this without having enough money to live.
How can I settle with Discover Card?
Sandra”
Dear Sandra,
Sorry to hear about this. If you have cash on hand to give them a lump-sum settlement now, you might be able to settle it. But since they already have invested in getting a judgment against you they are kind of in the drivers seat now.
But before you pick up the phone and talk to Discover, you should probably meet with a local attorney that is licensed in your state and get a better understanding of what they can do to you in order to collect on the foreign judgment. You should also get an opinion on how long the judgment is good for before you rush to make any decision.
