pristine plaintive case

[beder]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MS

We were unaware of a judgement filed against my husband until a summons for a REVIVAL of judement was delivered to my door.

It seems the judgement will expire in August. In the meantime, we bought a house and our credit rating is very good. No hint of any judgement.

It was from a company my husband previously worked for and had a loan which he was paying by a deduction from his paycheck.

The family owned company had family members who were abusive and degrading. They began to call my husband by my ex-husband's name. They paid no overtime and when my husband asked for comp time to spend with his son visiting from Texas, it was denied.

Short version of a long history of abuse.

ANYWAY, he turned in his resignation, but stayed on to train his replacement.
Time after time he asked for a plan to repay the debt during that time. No one would respond.

After leaving, he still tried on numerous occasions to work out a repayment plan. It was denied.

He was served with a summons with interogatories which he answered with the help of his cousin, an attorney.

We heard nothing more until now. We immediately attempted to refinance our house to deal with this debt. Everything was going smoothly until we found out there was a lien on our home. It seems in Mississippi a judgement automatically attaches as a lien.

Upon hiring another attorney, we find the original judgement included a charge of "fraud". An insane judge signed off on it.

This attorney says they will not accept a plan. Interest and attorney's fees have driven the original debt to over 50K.

Seriously, without getting into trouble, look up the judge who beat up his girlfriend, resigned, and then took back his resignation and had the audacity to run for office.

He lost, of course, but the owners of this company are known for big contributions.

Bottom line. There can be no bankruptcy, which was a last resort, because of the fraud charge.

Can he fight this fraud charge? It seems to me this should be first on the list.
