EeekyE Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 A default judgement was entered for $3100 against me and I have no idea what to do at this point. Clearly I cannot pay upfront but can't afford to have my wages garnished. Has anyone experienced this before and how do I proceed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California is one of the few states that allows you to file for exemption from garnishment due to poverty if they seek it. Do you qualify?

EeekyE Posted December 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 yes! thanks for the response. I doubt that I qualify. i am not rich by any means but i don't think i fall under poverty. i make 42k a year. which SHOULD be poverty for CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worse that happens is it is denied. How did they get a default judgment? Did you skip court or forget to go to the trial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you skip court or forget to go to the trial? well i filed a response and needed to waive the filing fee and they denied that so m response was thrown out. then they moved to default. it was all very quick. is there usually a way to avoid garnishment and set up payments to the court? i have NO experience in this area and it is all very very stressful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
