I had a wack job landlord that altered the lease to make it 3 years not 6 months, we left 1 month before it was over because they were awful showing up all hours claiming they needed to do inspections, they left their stuff there and told us we were not to touch it etc. This was in MO. We moved to FL and have been here for 2 years. In a month we are moving to PA. We were not aware of this case until 5 days before the court date and we were in FL the hearing was in MO, we had no way to appear. They got a default judgment and immediately started garnishing my husbands wages. They tried to levy our bank accounts and everything. These people are nuts, i did research and they have done this to at least 5 other people. My thing is does SOL start from the date of judgment or the date on the so called contract? PA is 4 years on most creditors do they have to abide by that since thats where we are moving? We own property they didn't touch that.

the bank account was one they knew we had there in MO, our current one wasn't touched so the aren't exactly going out of their way here. Its really a bunch of crap. They used "promissary note" as their reason for filing but there was no promissary note as far as I'm concerned, just a lease which is not a note stating we would pay $xx to them but that we would rent this house for 6 months at $xx. They took pages out, added pages to it, its really a mess. I don't wnat them to get another dime if I can help it since they were so underhanded and blatently lied to get this judgment. When does SOL expire on it? Its not showing up on the credit reports either. Also how can i keep their attny from pulling our credit? We never gave him permission to do so and he pulls it several times a month.

Most states are ten years on a judgement, from the date of last action, not date of judgement. They do not have to abide by it as it is a MO case. They will just get it enforced in PA.
You need an attorney. You really screwed up by not getting one to appear for you in MO. You may have surrendered your right to defend yourself. You may have a criminal case against them, but no civil case. Even if they went to jail, you may still have to pay them.

Hmmn. sounds like some severe brinkmanship is going at right here. I experience they desire to stay the place they're yet at a discounted fee of lease. If the eating place replaced into dropping funds, then the vendors might close it down and supply you a buyout. whether it remains open, then this is worthwhile yet no longer worthwhile adequate. your loved ones heavily desires to take a seat and choose what it could stay with. in case you settle for this buyout or any buyout and the situation sits vacant for who knows how long, then you definately ought to finally end up dropping greater funds than in case you negotiated a decrease lease. in this financial gadget issues have replaced for the greater severe. while that lease replaced into signed, the eating place vendors signed with the assumption in innovations our financial gadget does no longer slack back right into a recession. issues have replaced and that they want a greater suited deal. think of long view right here. think of exterior of the container right here. What do you and yours want this materials to do over the long-term. I experience you do no longer want an empty development. I additionally experience you do no longer desire to cut back your throats the two. short term thinking consistently produces short term consequences.
