My husband was served a notice to appear in court in 04. He hide the papers and Ford Motor Company won a default judgement against me in 05 since I co-signed for him and he wasn't working at the time the judgement was given. We had two cars, mine I turned in voluntarily and they repoed his. Mine was 3K at final owed with interest after the court date Ford added it came to 9K. His netted out 14.9 with interest 28.3. I have been paying since 2007. An have paid 20K. Now in 2011 he is working but I am stilling getting my wages garnished. First what are the statute of limitations in GA and can I vacate the judgement and have them go after him since he is now working. I never drove the truck and have paid for my van through garnishments. What can I do when the divorce is final to lesson expenses
Once a judgment is entered, the statute of limitations no longer applies. The statute of limitations is a defense to the filing of a lawsuit, and obviously with a judgment, the lawsuit is already filed.
The amount of time a judgment is valid varies from state to state, and you probably can look up the law in your state on your state's website. In my state, a judgment can be renewed indefinitely by recording it with the recorders office before it expires. The process may be different in your state, so again, check local laws.
You have asked a lot of other questions that are sort of confusing, and I would recommend you consult with an attorney in your community. If the total amount of your debt is high, Bankruptcy might be a good option for you, as it will stop the wage garnishment.
Hope this info helps & good luck!
Unfortunately when you are a cosigner on a debt you and the other party are equally responsible. There is no statute of limitations for them to garnish your wages. They can garnish until they are paid in full. you may want to consider filing bankruptcy to stop the garnishment
