Can I be held liable if a judgment entered against me was for the wrong amount?

Posted on by

According to an eviction notice, the amount my landlord’s attorney said I owed was $1895.00. That included the back rent, attorney’s fees and court costs.

While at court their attorney wrote up an agreement in front of me that we both agreed to and signed. According to that agreement the total owed to the landlord was $1662.00 not $1895.00. A difference of $233.00.

Today I look again at that agreement. I was to make $200 weekly payments towards the judgment for seven weeks straight. But here’s the problem, 7 x 200 is $1400, not $1662. Okay so it appears the attorney made a mistake with his math. There should have been one final payment of $262.I honestly didn’t notice the error till today.

According to the state of PA “Judgments by Agreement” are binding and cannot be appealed. My question is can the attorney come after me for a mathematical error he made? Would I still be responsible for that final payment of $262?

what do i do?

my bf always gets his tax retrn in 24hrs of filing. has for 10 years. he didnt qualify this year. the rent is 13 days late. a few days ago i panicked and told the landlord that i sent the check already. she stopped by today and left a 3 day notice to pay or she wil begin the eviction process. she said the bank doesnt care about my problems i have been having (death of my friends dad who i have known for over ten years, my daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, the older child is causing problems). we are due to have the check in the next week but it doesnt seem to matter. his ex wont pay child support and he wont go file for it. we dont have the credit to get a payday advance, plus he owes money to a payday advance company form years ago.
all we need is 900 by the 18th, 2 days before the expected tax return. i dont know what to do i screwed up by panicking and lying.
the landlord stopped by without notice at 8 this morning! so im sure she will just ‘drop by’ again later today. so i know she will ask for the ‘returned’ check. so am i screwed?

Question about tenant issues – probably not appropriate here but I don’t have time to find an attorney?

this is Chicago Il tenant landlord law. We looked at an apartment that is for rent, the landlord told us it would be available Oct 5th.

We did not sign a lease and did not definitely agree to take the unit. The landlord however told us that we had to pay a $100 application fee and give him a month’s rent to hold the apartment. We eventually decided we didn’t want the unit ( there were two murders in the immediate area last week). The landlord told us that there was a $300 cancellation fee plus in addition to the $100 application fee. We would also be charged a pro-rated amount for each day after Oct 1st that the unit did not rent. ( Which is curiously given that the unit won’t be ready until Oct 5th). We did not sign a lease and he has almost 30 days to find a replacement. Can he charge us $300 ++ ? We need to know soon before we look at another place

Thanks

Big Brother 12 (USA) – This is what Matt SHOULD have done?

He should have realized that the rest of the Brigade is absolutely NOTHING without him, as he is the only one that can win competitions (he even has complained about Enzo and Lane not even trying in competitions). He also should have realized that it is only a matter of time before the Brigade turns on him, and he will be the first one they vote out because he wins everything.

Matt should have formed a secret alliance with Rachel and Brendon, because no one would have expected it…he could then bring in Britney and made a secret pact with the other three to make it to Final Four.

After realizing this, Matt should have decided to turn against the Brigade before they turned on him. He could have exposed to Britney that Hayden, Lane, and Enzo are in an alliance, and he could have gotten Britney to use the POV to take down Rachel and put Hayden up in his place (backdoor Hayden). If Matt was worried about this, he could have sold his move by saying that he believed Hayden is the saboteur. Then Matt could have pulled in Britney, Rachel, Ragan, and Kathy to vote Hayden out.

Next week, it would not have mattered who won the HOH or POV competitions, because Matt has the power to overthrow everything with the Diamond Veto. He could have backstabbed Lane and Enzo right before the eviction and put them on the block. Enzo would have gone home, and Lane would be a sitting duck at that point.

Following this, Matt, Britney, Rachel, and Brendon could have picked off Kathy and Ragan, and they would have had a clear path to final four.

Now THIS is how a REAL Big Brother player – like Will Kirby or Evel Dick Donato would have played this game. Matt is a coward and not anywhere near the genius he thinks he is. I can’t wait to see the Brigade turn on him.

What are your thoughts?
