EXPERT PLEASE: Iam being sued....

[Anonymous]

Take a deep breath ... and follow the advice in this thread.  You can't file a Motion to Vacate Judgment because there is no judgment (yet), unless there's something you're not telling us.

This is so far what I have so is this a judgment:

Letter (on letterhead from Solomon and Solomon Attorneys for Judgment Creditor) verbadum:

Notice to Judgment Debtor

Money or property belonging to you may be or may have been taken or held in order to satisfy a judgment which has been entered aginst you.  Read this carefully....

...and then they list properties and other things that are exempt or could be taken.

and they sent an information subpoena to my job.   and called me this morning.

Now, does that mean a judgment was entered?  how do i find out??

In their letter, is there a court and a case number listed?  Not the attorney's file number, but a number assigned by the court.  It might be called "C.A." or "Civil Action".

If there are no details like that, call the clerk's office of the court in the county where you live (might be the District Court), apologize that you don't have the case number, and ask them if there is a file for "secchange" as a defendant in a civil matter.  If there is, ask them what the status is.

They can tell you whether or not you have been sued, whether or not they have a record of service, or whether the judgment has already been entered against you.  Then we can figure out what you need to do.

I know this is really distressing, but there are lots of people here to help you!

a variation of a DV asking for a copy of the judgment to be delivered to you within 10 days.

Have you lived in any other state or any other county of your present state?  Check those also.

You need to know where they filed so you can fikigure out who they served (and when) because if incorrect you can get it vacated.

Okay - I contacted the court....this is what i found out

the actual judgment was entered (as stated on their site) on 12/8/1998?

so why find and contact me now...this started like I mentioned before when they were removed from CR by CRAs.

Now what?

[Anonymous]

do I still DV although I see it in the court filing?  should I go to the court to file motion to vacate - because this is the first form of communication i have received.

or should i puch the fact that SOL is up?

I'm passing thru very briefly.... sounds like an old judgement that has now been renewed another 10 years.  I shall return.

OMG - why?

[Anonymous]

What is the life of a judgement inyour state (this varies by state).  It is either almost expired (and now they want to collect before it does) or they intend to renew.

I would still want to know what it is for and who they served (do you remember getting served?)

[Anonymous]

I was never served - but i know who its for.
