Dealing with Hudson and Keyes LLC in Utah?

Discovering a legal judgment or a notice of wage garnishment can be an overwhelming experience. If Hudson and Keyes LLC has initiated legal action against you, it is critical to recognize that you have options to address the situation. Many individuals find that a default judgment was entered against them simply because they were never properly served with the original lawsuit. Our firm focuses on identifying these procedural errors to challenge the status of your case. If you are feeling overwhelmed, you may also consider Understanding Bankruptcy Options as part of a broader review of your financial position.

The Legal Reality for Utah Consumers

In Utah, legal judgments remain active for a period of eight years. It is important to be aware that creditors can extend this timeframe indefinitely by filing a motion before the initial expiration date. If a creditor obtains a judgment, they may attempt to garnish your wages. Under state law, this is limited to the lesser of 25% of your disposable earnings or the amount that exceeds 30 times the federal minimum wage. Furthermore, Utah Code § 70C-7-103 imposes a stricter 10% cap specifically for private student loans, providing a layer of protection that we aim to leverage on your behalf.

Failure to respond to court notices or ignoring a summons can lead to the loss of your right to contest the debt. Once a judgment is finalized, your options for defense become significantly more restricted, making prompt action a necessity to protect your assets and income.
