Lawyer

[Anonymous]

I came to an agreement 6 months ago to pay a judgement. A very old judgement from 07 that never even hit my reports.

The Lawyer agreed in writing a X amount of dollars for 28 months. Been making the payments as promised.

Today I received a letter from the Lawyer directing me to make all further payments to a new Law Firm because it has been transferred to the new Lawyer.

My question is, they do have to honor the agreement I had with the previous Lawyer, is this correct? And is there anything I should do to make sure they understand what the balance is, the amount of the monthly payment?

Please advise.

Yes, the terms of your contract with the prior owner transfer with the ownership of the debt.

There is nothing special you should do, but you can send a letter stating that to be your understanding if you have concerns.
