Order to show cause motion granted. The defendant has demonstrated a reasonable excuse and a meritorious defense to this matter. The motion is granted and the matter is restored to the calendar.
The case is still in litigation - but the judgment no longer exists. I sent this certified letter (from county clerk) to Trans Union and they said it was "insufficient." They sais that the matter was still an open investigation and they would investigate with the court (who said it could be easily resolved). What is my next step. I know the terminology is vague - but it's not my fault they don't understand it. Should I ask the county clerk for something else? What do I do- I'm almost debt free!!!

Don't ask the county clerk, they may be court employees, but they're not officers of the court like lawyers. See if your court house offers free pro se legal assistance or go to www.lawguru.com for free licensed legal help.
From what I understand of your post, TransUnion is saying that they won't remove the listing until a final judgment in the case has been rendered in your favor. Setting aside the default judgment only means that the judge is willing to hear both sides rather than grant final judgment in the plaintiff's favor because you didn't respond in a timely manner.
Wait until/if you get a final judgment in your favor then contact TransUnion to get the listing removed.

Well, Transunion said the paperwork wasn't sufficient but they would investigate. Can I ask you something else that I cant seem to have answered?

SOLs have nothing to do with judgment. A statute of limitation(SOL) is the amount of time after the debt has become delinquent to sue. This means that if the creditor/collection agency filed the suit before the SOL expired then the case can continue. All the default judgment says is that the judge is willing to hear your side.
