Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Judgment in bank account

I had a debt on 1995 with my husband at that time, and we got divorced. It was my understanding that the debt as well as asset should be divided as well, however, I agreed to make payments becouse this company, for some extrange reson, only found me and they stated to harrass me so much. Then I moved from FL, was on and of of employment and I never heard from this company ever again. Now after 6 years I found that my bank account was ''frezzed'' and all the money I had for my rent was freezed as well and I don't know what to do. I found it illegal to take that accion without any letter to me or any notification. This company does not want to release my account until I pay. I am a single mother and I live pay check to paycheck. I am willing to make arragement but I can't afford to let them have all my money at this time. I will be homeless if that occur. I don't know what I can do, and if that is illegal. Please help.

Re: Judgment in bank account

If you had signed the note or the thing that obliged you and your husband, they restrained the account because of the earlier judgment. A judgment is good for 20 years.

Good Luck
