Well I didn't quite win but I'm ok with the result. Since I couldn't prove that the debt wasn't mine and a judgement was already entered 8 years ago I have to pay part of the debt.
Their lawyers wanted me to pay $500 a month! They said I made enough money to easily afford that. The judge was actually leaning their way until I asked my lawyer to let me talk to the judge.
After hearing my side of things the judge said that he believed me and that the debt more than likely wasn't mine but he couldn't just
throw out the last judgement without proof. He did cut the total amount down and set my payments at $100 a month.
Before seeing the judge I actually told those guys to go F themselves. They are a bunch of roaches and don't care who they screw over as long as they keep getting paid.
On a positive note my lawyer took $750 off of my retainer since my talk with the judge is what swayed his decision. My lawyer originally didn't want me to say anything. I could tell that it wasn't going to end up in my favor so there was no way that I could just stand there and not say anything.
When I was talking to the judge I only referred to the people suing me as "those scumbags" lol. I think the judge might have even chuckled once
They even hired a local lawyer too. The guy knew everyone in the courthouse including the judge. They were talking about fishing before the case.....ugh I guess I'm lucky to have it end the way it did.
Oh we'll it's in the past now
