Defective part

[comathon]

What is the name of your state?New York State
I have a judgment against me from a contracter. I called the Law office that's handling his case. I offered to pay the contracter for his service call plus interest & he can have his part. Office claimed they need the full amount, they can't take partial amounts, they are not a collection Agency, but a Law Firm. If I want to reduce the amount of the judment, I would have to go to court. I don't want to pay for a defective part , that the contracter sold me. Any advice on how to handle this problem, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Is there any warranty on this "part" you speak of?

Was the repair covered by a warranty? Too little info.

Thank you for your fast reply. The part had a warranty of 2 years. This is a long story , & I wouldn't have room to tell it all. Also I would hesitate to post the full story on the internet. I not only was harassed by the contracter, I was also given the run around by the people in the legal system. The judgment was filed & sent to me , before the 30 day period. When I tried to appeal, the people in the justice system were uncooperative. My time limit ran out for me to appeal, & the appeal was dismissed. This all took place in the year 2000 & 2001. I didn't have much knowledge of the law at the time, plus I had a death in the family along with several family illnesses. I don't know what I can do at this late day. Any advice would be appreciated.

Well I have to beg off on this one. It's beyond me and would rather not mislead you. Hopefully some of the legal eagles will see this and lead you to a solution.

I don't think I would hold my breath though. 2000-2001 was a long time ago.
