What is the name of your state? FL
Awhile back a collection agency sued me for unpaid hospital bills amounting around $7,000.00. I never had to money to pay it but the attorney scared me and so I agreed to pay $50.00 a month. After paying for a few months we ran into some financial trouble again and we couldn't pay much of anything. I forgot about it for a while and there were no more payment slips so I just let it go. The next thing I know I recieve a letter in the mail for a Final Judgement against me for a lot more money. They collected interest, I guess. My question is what can I do about this and how can a judge order this with out informing me prior to signing it? I don't think I will ever be able to get the money to pay it and if they put a lien on my house can they still collect interest, it could be years before I sold my house and that would really add up? Help!
