Trilivonel Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Has anyone had any dealings with this CA? It is based in TX. This CA has two default judgments against me and I was wondering whether I can get them vacated? The CA was assigned by Citibank. The judgments were for approximately $4000 and $6000 respectively. On the first judgment entered in 11/2002, I asked for validation in 7/2002 (certified w/return receipt on 7/18) with no response. It was already filed in court by June but as you can see they proceeded with the case AFTER I asked for validation. I don't remember having this account with Citibank. The second judgment (entered 12/2002) I guess was justified because I was in payment arrangements with CA and was laid-off from my job. I informed CA by certified letter w/return receipt in 9/2002 but the CA went ahead with a judgment and my bank accounts were frozen in 1/2003 and 2/2003. I filed for an Order to Show Cause and was told by the County Clerk to call before coming to pick up the paperwork. What a joke! The number the office gave me was busy for days. When I finally got through the court date was that very day! When I called the courtroom, the clerk told me not to bother showing up because I didn't serve the CA so the case would have been dismissed anyway. Is it too late to file another Order? How long do I have to vacate a judgment? I'm in NYC. Can I file a counter-suit against the CA on the $4000 judgment because they proceeded anyway without validating and now both judgments is on two of my credit reports (EX and TU not EQ)? Can the $6000 be vacated since I already was paying and had to discontinue payments because I became unemployed? What are my defenses in vacating both judgments? Thanks for all your help. I always get great advice here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
