Husband defaulted on Perkins loan in 1988. Attorney contacted him at work. He agreed to a payment schedule over the phone with them. They sent the paperwork (affidavit of confession of judgment) and want it notarized and returned within 20 days. It's worded like this: [The confession of judgement is for a debt justly due to the plaintiff arising from the following facts:

The defendant is indebted to the plaintiff for consumer items charged on a credit card issued by the plaintiff, all of which is past due, in the amount set forth above.]


Does this sound legitimate? It's the credit card part that bothers me. Thanks for any advice. Our other option is to just let them garnish his wages for it.What is the name of your state?
