What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
Hi,
I received a Small Claims Default Judgment against an apartment complex that unfairly denied my application and then kept my deposit. I have recorded the abstract of judgement with the county. The judgement is for 3X the deposit amount, plus fees. A year later, a month after the judgment date, they sent me a check for the original deposit amount as if nothing had happened. Am I free and clear to deposit the check? How should I then reference that "payment" when attempting to collect the "balance"?
Thank you
