What can I do when I receive a judgement on a private student loan?
I was served with court papers 4 months ago regarding my loan. I tried several times to set up a payment plan with attorney (she said she would ask client and call back). I also left many messages after. I never heard back. Last week, I was served with judgement papers for the loan. I never received a call back or letter from the attorney saying a judgement was being passed. I am still trying to contact the attorney. She claimed to never receive my previous messages and has not, yet again, returned my call regarding the payment plan. I keep leaving messages but get no response.

If the attorney representing the judgment creditor against you concerning the student loan that you have written about does not respond to your messages which I presume are through the telephone, I suggest that you write the attorney a letter seeking a written payment plan.
Keep a copy of the letter for future need and reference. If you receive no response to the letter, you might consider consulting with an attorney that practices in the area of consumer law to assist you in the matter you have written about.
