Hi

I got two default judgment, one file 2006 and 2008 its too late for me to file vacate a judgment? I live in NY


i just had a default judgement vacated that was 1.5 years old..so its possible..check your state laws vacate judgement usually in small claims section..but you must have a pretty darn good reason as to why it should be vacated..contradictory to current laws was the reason that was used in my case..improper service is usually another..but yes you may be able to something..

yep very good reason if you were not properly served..check your state laws for reasons to vacate..but not properly served is one of the most common reasons to get em vacated..did you change your mailing address during this time? you will have to prove that you were not served though..the one i got vacated was paid..*FYI* if you can get it vacated legally, you may be able to petition to the court for payment back on it* that is if you can get it vacated..

if you can afford an attorney, then do so..otherwise, YOU yourself can file a motion to vacate..I believe there is some templates on this website somewhere or you can google search for one..you may want to call the courthouse to see if there's a particular format they want it in..but yes you can do it yourself..when i filed mine in march 09 is cost me literally $15.00 in ohio...read my thread 'help me vacate a judgement" by stupidnewbie(put the title in the search up to the right)-there's alot of awesome info in it about this topic..

So when i filed a motion to vacate and if the judge ordered to dismiss, then i will received a letter said judgment has been dismissed all i need to do is send that letter to credit bureau ?

i am pretty sure the plaintiff wont do anything because the judgment have been paid with satisfied.

Thanks again for helps, i am glad to find this forum

God bless you all

yep once you send it to the judge..make sure to send a copy to the opposing plaintiff(or ask if your courts do that..some do some don't)..the judge will either accept(and vacate order) or reject your motion..but the plaintiff in the case does have to be notified of the action somehow.either by you or the court-if not your motion could be thrown out on a technicality(improper service to plaintiff) i will post what i recieved from my court in the next posting:

I template for a Motion to Vacate it would be nice, so i have a general ideals what i need to do. I am from New York, Onondaga county (hope that help)

I know i been asking too many question, however i just want to make sure, i do it a right way. So all I need to do is going to the county court clerk ask for "motion to vacate" fill out and pay for the fee; go home and waiting for the result? that sound easy enough.


Thanks again

i'm getting ready for work right now and noticed your post..i will post it a few hours when i get back..about 5 hours..so hold tight just a little bit more..i will be back....the court itself may or may not have a format, you may have to type it yourself like i did, fill out any papers they have there at the court, pay the fee, make sure the opposing plaintiff gets a copy of motion, and go home-yep thats it! for me it took about 17 days to get anything from the court since motions were filed, but that really depends on how busy the court is..and your questions are fine..i would not have had mine vacated if the nice people had not directed how to..keep asking..

type your name


PROOF OF SERVICE:
I hereby certify a copy of this motion was sent to abc & address by certified return reciept mail on Month day, 2009.



That was it! I also included any information copies that I had to support my claim including copies of mailing slips....I don't know if you have to but I did anyway. Also, I sent mine certified return reciept mail instead of snail mail. Your state may not require that for service. Check your state laws there for clarity..

This is what i got, can you please take a look and give me your thought :)

Now comes the Defendant, pro se, and requests the court to vacate the Judgment filed herein and dismisses the above case against Homer Simpson. Defendant states that at the time of delivery of services rendered by plaintiff, Homer Simpson was not server properly. Upon graduated from college, I couldn???t find any job in Springfield area. Finally, I got offer a job through job agency work for GE in Schenectady, N.Y. The default judgments were entering while I am away from home as alleged in the complaint filed herein.

As soon as I became aware of the Judgment I contacted plaintiff and paid the balance.


Respectfully submitted

Sincerely,
Homer J. Simpson


please notice: Homer Simpson is not my real name :)

the word server should be served. the word entering should be entered. but instead of using "away from home," personally i would say something like: The default judgements were entered without proper service while the defendant was residing at another address..and attach something that has your name w/that address on it(copy of old mail during that time frame) i don't know about the sentence that says "as soon as i became aware" only because some courts may see that as the time you were aware of the judgement and may not grant it on that..i think me personally, i would leave that sentence out..only becuase the judge doesn't care if its paid or not, he's looking for a reason to dismiss based upon the law..but you're definately getting it..
