I’ve used them as I’ve found that most payors are very afraid of them and are more than a little nervous that I’ll slip down to the courthouse and enter a Default Judgment if/when they pay late.

So my use of, and debtors’ signing same have got me paid on time or early in a few situations.

But I think I would never do such as I strongly feel that CA and all other states are probably going to decide negatively in foreseeable future.

And I don’t want my name going into the law books as the dumb klutz that got busted for using a Confession of Judgment when he shouldn’t have.

Hi
Anybody want to comment on the validity of cognovit promissory notes in California?

I found an article that stated Supreme Court ruled they are legal but most states had outlawed them.

Comments?
