What if the defendant in a judgment changes the name of the company that is named in the civil litigation?
A name change is irrelevant. The responsible parties are still the responsible parties. If the litigation is pending (which I'm guessing it's not if there's a judgment, but just in case), change the header on the litigation to reflect the new name change. E.G. John Doe v. Inspiron Technologies d/b/a Inspirational Computers. Inspiron Technologies being the initial name of the company and Inspirational Computers being the new company name. D/B/A stands for "doing business as." If you have a judgment and the company name has changed, the company is still liable to you for the damages in question. If the company has not paid you according to a judgment, file a motion in court against them, again using the original name and d/b/a the new name. Though you'd need to ask a lawyer in your jurisdiction the exact name of the motion you would file against the company in question.

Can a cell phone company enter a default judgment?
A default judgment is entered by the court. A cell phone company can file suit for past due payments and if the defendant does not appear in court in person or by counsel then a default judgment is entered in favor of the cell phone company. The defendant then has 30 days to appeal this judgment/
May a finance company charge finance charges after a judgment has been made?
Yes. After a judgment has been made, the defendant(s) have a specific period of time to meet the financial terms of the judgment. If they do not, the plaintiffs may collect a fair interest rate on the judgment until the monies are paid.
Can someone show an example of a case where a motion for a summary judgment will be granted?
Summary judgment is granted when there is no dispute as to any of the material facts in the incident that caused the lawsuit so that, as a matter of law, one party or the other is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. In a suit on a credit card bill, if the defendant does not dispute that he is responsible for the full amount claimed by the credit card company, but just won't pay it, the plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment without having to go to trial because the defendant admits the debt. There is no genuine issue of material fact that has to be resolved by trial. Now if the defendant denies that he is responsible for all or part of the debt (for instance if the card had been stolen and charges were billed for purchases not made by the defendant but the credit card company does not believe him) there is an issue of material fact that has to be determined at a trial. The issue is did the defendant actually make the charges or not. Summary judgment cannot be granted as long as there is a genuine issue.
How how can you sue for after car accident if defendant has no money?
If you are in a car accident caused by the defendant, you can recover from the defendant and/or his insurance company. If the defendant has no insurance coverage, and has no money, there is nothing to recover. You may win a judgment, but if the defendant has no money and no property, and is not earning either, you probably won't see much of the award. This is called judgment-proof.Added: Even though the defendant may not have any 'liquid' assets (ready cash) if they own anyting of value, you might look into the possibility of filing a lien against them to be paid off at some future time when they liquidate any asset.
What will happen if you do not show up for court when being sued by collection agency or credit card company?
The defendant is not required to make an appearance in a creditor suit, but if he or she does not appear the plaintiff (creditor) will win by default and a judgment will be entered against the debtor. FYI, unless the defendant has undisputable evidence that the suit is faulty (debt not valid, wrong person being sued, etc.) it will make no difference in the outcome whether the defendant debtor appears or not, the plaintiff will be awarded a judgment.
Can you do a debt settlement if there is judgment against you?
Yes!! you can settle your debt before, during, and after litigation. If you decide to enroll in a program, be leary of any that don't disclose information to you. generally a good debt settlement company will require extra steps from you prior to enrolling a legal/judgment debt. A bad debt settlement company will take your debt no questions asked.
If you have a judgment against you what does this mean and what can the company that has the judgment against you do to you?
A judgment is a court order that is awarded when a lawsuit is won by a plaintiff. The judgment can be executed in several ways pursuant to the laws of the state where it was awarded. Some of them are, garnishment of wages, levy of bank account(s), liens against real property, seizure and sale of nonexempt assets belonging to the defendant. Macky...(macky83@juno.com)
What happens when a credit card debt goes to litigation?
A credit card debt will be granted a judgment possibly and then the company can pursue you to collect the debt. A garnishment could even be awarded, although this is rare on unsecured debt.
Law that stops a company from reporting to a credit agency while the matter is in litigation?

Who pays plaintiff on judge judy?
On "Judge Judy," the plaintiff's payment typically comes from the defendant if the judge rules in favor of the plaintiff. However, the show pays the awarded amount upfront to the plaintiff, and the defendant is responsible for reimbursing the show's production company. This arrangement ensures that the plaintiff receives their awarded judgment immediately, regardless of the defendant's ability to pay.
What is a judgment in personal finance?
When a person is taken to civil court (for example, a credit card company suing a cardholder to get paid back), the court makes a judgment for or against the plaintiff (entity initiating the lawsuit, in this example, the credit card company). If the judgment is for the plaintiff, the result is effectively a judgment against the defendant (the person taken to court in the example). Part of the judgment is the amount that is to be paid to the entity winning the court case (judgment). Judgements against a borrower (and the amount set to be paid by that borrower) will make their way onto the credit report and will cause a drop in credit score.
Use the word litigation in a sentence?
I avoided the confrontation so as to avoid the possibility of resultant litigation. The Sioux Nation is NOT a litigation nation. Judge Judy's courtroom could be called a litigation station.
