What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
In August of this year my landlord sued me for back rent. A judgment was ordered, and I am to pay $100 per month starting in September until the amount is satisfied.
Since court, the landlord's husband has contacted me via phone, certified mail, and personal visits at work inquiring as to the payments of the judgment. According to the order I was to begin making payments in September - a specific date is not mentioned. I have the entire month of September to make my first payment, why am I being contacted by this person? I am not in default. I do not owe him any money - I owe his wife the money.
How do I legally get this fellow to stop contacting me about money owed to his wife, and is not past due?
What is the legal collection process for a judgment? If I'm paying on it (which I've not even had the chance to do yet) do they have a right to continually contact me?
