Question about vacating a judgement?
Date: Fri, 03/27/2009 - 17:22
I was never served my papers in person. I was sued by Kramer and Frank for $1300 roughly.
They sent the papers to my old address and I looked online at the docket when I received a solicitation from another lawfirm that was trying to sell me their services in bankruptcy.
On the docket it specifically states 'Papers Served in Person on Xx/Xx/2008'.
I never knew about the court date, nor that I was being sued, until I received the solicitation mail. By this time I already had a judgement against me.
Do I have grounds to petition the courts? Those papers were never ever served to me. Perhaps get the judgement reversed?
Thanks,
Aaron

It won't eliminate it from your credit report and yes, they could sue you again. You need to get a DV letter to them as soon as you get the judgment vacated. Make them prove you owe them money.
