i received a letter from a law firm in ga. (legitimate (oxymoron) law firm) claiming a debt of around 2000 usd. i sent email denying debt and they responded with a default judgement in ny from 2007. the default was in favor of midland.... but no details. i have not lived or worked in the usa since 1999 and have no open debts. i am responding to the lawyer letter denying debt but what do i do about the default....

are there any punitive actions i can take as whatever midland represented to the ny courts must be forged as there has been no communication with me about a court appearance. how can they get a no show default judgement for no show if the defendant was not notified.

You could have been served by mail or even had a notice tacked o

You could have been served by mail or even had a notice tacked on your last known address. Have you investigated the court records as to how you were served?

FYI...since you are out of the USA, even if you attempt to have the judgement set aside for improper service, the SOL would have tolled or been frozen since you are not in the country.

thanks,

thanks for the reply, but what does sol and tolled mean?

if they sent a letter, or tacked it on my door don't they require a signature or some such proof that i was served?

if forged are there punitive remedies?
