What is the name of your state? Alabama

Chapter 13 case - clear civil judgment that is allowed in BK 13. (This was not a debt but from a civil court case)

Judgment says:

1. Monetary Sanction of $6000.... is hereby entered and made final against.....
2. not important
3. not important
4. Pursuant to Rule 54B.... and that this order is intended to be a final judgment as to ....

BK court allowed Judgment to stand without any objection from me and gave 60 days to submit claim.

Now claim comes in for not the $6000 judgment but for $19900??

I am in a big mess here with these attorneys and need some guidence and HELP ASAP!

What was the judgment for ?? It does matter, some debts are not dischargable, BUT the AUTOMATIC STAY prevents all collection action, including dunning letters, calls and lawsuits.

Are you saying the judgment creditor filed a proof of claim for $19.9K ??

How OLD is this judgment ? Judgements DO accrue statutory interest while they remain unpaid.

The judgment is for money sanctions. The court was specific that it was for this and the $6000 judgment was final.

Proof of claim filed for $19900, not the $6000 judgment. Judgment entered Nov, 2004. I was already in bk 13 when this judgment was entered and the judge allowed the judgment into the bk 13 in March '05 with them being able to file their claim within 60 days which they did, not for the $6000 but for $19900 instead.

I did not object to them adding the $6000 judgment to the bk 13. But now that it is $19900....

Ok, sounds strange for a 6K judgment to more than TRIPLE since Nov. '04 !

Have you gotten a copy of the judgment case file to see just how they tripled the amount in only 7 months ???
