Judgment?!?! How the heck did that get there? I had a balance with my college that got sent to the Attorney General's office for collections. I paid off the debt. What I didn't know at the time was that a default judgment was already granted in their favor, and now I have a paid judgment on public record (as well as on all three CRs). I didn't receive any notification about an impending case/judgment/etc from the AG's office, although they assert that they sent them. My question to the group is this: Can such a judgment be vacated (on the grounds that I feel that I have been improperly served) despite the fact that I have already paid, and how would one go about doing such a thing? Thanks for any and all input!
Judgment?!?! How the heck did that get there? File a motion to vacate with the court that awarded the judgement. Cite the fact that you were not served. It will be up to the AGs office to prove you did get served and if they cannot provide this proof, the judgement will be vacated. If that is granted, fax a copy to the CRAs that report it and it will be removed immediately. Good luck.
Judgment?!?! How the heck did that I'm not experienced in this area, but if you paid it before the judgement was executed and have proof, I would think it should be possible to have the judgement vacated.
Re: Judgment?!?! How the heck did that get there? Thank you for the advice and well wishes. So it is in fact possible to have a judgment vacated even if it has been 'satisfied' (paid)?
