Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

Help Please

Several months ago I was taken to court by a loan company where I had taken out a loan. I now live in flordia and the loan was taken when I lived in Illinois. I was unable to make the court date so a judgement of default was ordered against me. As of recently the loan company has found out my new address and they are sending me bills. Today I got a letter stating that if I did not pay this they would take legal action against me. How can they do this if they have already taken me to court and got a judgement for payment? I am unemployed at this time and am unable to pay this loan off. Can they take me back to court for this? I am confused. If they do take me back to court would it be in Illinois or here in florida. Any advice would be appriciated.

Thanks,

Sheri

They can enforce the judgment in Florida.

They can "execute" the judgment which does involve more judicial procedings. They can go through a process to have the judgment transferred to Florida and continue the case down here.
