The Law Offices of Carl H. Starrett II has successfully obtained a stipulated judgment against Valentina L. Atckison of Escondido, owner of Zilla Realty and Rentals-4-U, in an amount in excess of $36,000. The Court entered the judgment on December 27, 2007.
The lawsuit was filed on March 25, 2007 on behalf of Robert L. Tate. The lawsuit alleged that Ms. Atckison failed to repay Mr. Tate for a short term loan of pay. Ms. Tate made partial payment, but a substantial balance remained due on the promissory note.
Rather than face a trial, Ms. Tate stipulated to entry of a judgment of $36,340.14, which included the balance owed plus interest, legal fees and court costs.
Civil judgments in California collect interest at the rate of 10% per year. In this case, interest will accrue at the rate of $3,634.01 per year or $9.96 per day until paid. Efforts to collect the judgment will begin immediately.
