Question about Collection/Judgment in NY

[rpet]

What is the name of your state? New York

I have a account (Discover Card) with Cohen & Slamowitz.. The guy there is a complete JERK!!! I have never delt with a collection agency like this.. They got a judgement on me, froze my bank account and I wasnt EVER served with the court documents before the hearing because I didnt live at the address they had at that time (They said thats my fault, I should have updated my creditor or credit reporting agencys with my new address). I want to settle this debt, or at least get a new court hearing whats the best way to go about this?

Thanks,
Rpet

I want to settle this debt

Contact them and negotiate a settlement. Get ANY settlement in writing before paying. Then, get a signed 'Satisfaction of Judgment' upon payment.

or at least get a new court hearing whats the best way to go about this?

From your post, they made 'proper service' and there is nothing else in your post that would indicate a new hearing would be granted.
