Dealing with a Judgement

[Anonymous]

What is the best way to handle paying a judgement? I have never been served, or even notified of this judgement against me, just saw it on my credit report.

The OC is listed on my Credit Report, with a balance showing. I know I owe them, but I believe that the SOL to file judgement against me was up in Jan 2007. They apparently filed this judgement in May 2007, but I just now saw it on my CR.

I looked up the judgement in the Office of Public Records through my County Court's website, and it says it was filed/recorded on 4/22/08... which is probably why it's just now showing on my CR.

How should I deal with this?

A debt past SOL doesn't mean you are immune from a lawsuit. Past SOL is simply your defense in court. Since you were not at the hearing, the judgment was entered by your absence...automatic default.
