Dominion Law Associates ripoff Virginia Beach Virginia
These guys threatened to file a judgement if I did not reply to their letter. I did reply and asked to set up a payment arrangement. I enclosed the first installment in the form of a check. My check was cashed. A week later I received a court notice that judgement had been filed against me for not responding to the notice previously sent. A week after that I received a letter from Dominion showing that they had received payment and STILL filed the judgement FOR NOT RESPONDING! How did they get my check and cash it and not get my response?

I am dealing with this same company. However, since I have had experience dealing with these companies and Lawyers, etc. I do know a few things that may help people. First of all, as stated here, it was remarked how a judgement was filed. The thing is, in order to get a judgement you would have already had to go to court. One cannot just get a judgement on you unless you were found guilty of owing the money. Now, a company can file a Warrant in Debt! That is showing that the company/person who is suing you for a certain amount of money and they take you to court to get a judgement which means really that you owe the money. One thing I have to say here and what is important. Most of the time, these companies will settle with you "before" you would even go to court. Now, you may have a court date but they still can dismiss the charge. You can try to get them to settle for a certain amount. In most cases, you can write out a letter to the creditor with all the information of account numbers, etc and explain to them that your having a hardship and explain it. If you give them permission to do a credit report on you to prove your case. they usually do allow a certain amount of money as a settlement in full. But whatever you do, GET IT FAXED TO YOU IN WRITING BEFORE you give them any money. that this amount would be settled in full. I was able to do this with a creditor and had a court date. I was able to get it knocked down from $1061 to $450. You just have to know what your doing. I would be interested in hearing what happened in this case above.
