Interrogatories for Discovery of Assets in Aid of Execution

A judgement was filed against me and--name removed--just rec'd a request to fill out ''Interrogatories for discovery of assets in aid of execution'' within 30 days. They further state that the creditor has a right to attempt to enforce that Judgement by a Judicial Sale(Sheriffs Sale) of my assets. Do--name removed--have to return this form? Secondly, --name removed--don't own any property, have a car w/a lien on it and have liquid assets in the amount of $13K, judgement is for $7K, can they sieze my assets to pay for it?

Another thing, the account was sent to Credigy and last active in 2001, they have updated it as being last active in 2007. --name removed--havn't made any payments on this account, can they legally try to collect in Pennsylvania? Please advise. Thanks.

Re: Interrogatories for Discovery of Assets in Aid of Execution

If they are serving interrogatories in aid of execution they already have a judgment. It sounds to me as if you had a defense (the statute of limitations) but did not answer or defend when the suit was filed. There is a possibility of opening or vacating/striking the judgment in some circumstances. It's best to contact an attorney local to your area to discuss your options.
