Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Back in 2013 I was sued by a law firm and a judgement was obtained. I wasn't quite sure if I had been sued because nothing has ever appeared on my credit report. Today if found a piece of paper with a case number and after looking it up I noticed that I have been sued. Under the notes for the lawsuit ( I looked online through the particular county's website) there is some wording I don't understand.

What does this mean?

THE COURT ENTERS JUDGMENT ON THE COMPLAINT FOR CACH, LLC IN THE AMOUNT OF 0.00 PRINCIPAL, 0.00 PUNITIVE DAMAGES, 0.00 PREJUDGMENT COSTS AND 0.00 ATTORNEY FEES

And what about this?

WRIT OF EXECUTION RETURNED - UNSATISFIED FILED BY CACH, LLC ON 07/01/2016

And this...

CASE DISPOSED WITH DISPOSITION OF DEFAULT JUDGMENT BY CLERK

If you can tell me what this ultimately means, I would appreciate it!

You have a default judgment for an unknown amount. Cach LLC is attempting to collect on that unknown amount.

The judgment appears to be nonsensical. Either the clerk or the firm's staff forgot to fill in the numbers or the court didn't award anything. You might check the physical court file to see if there might be some clue about what's going on. (My software will fill in zeros unless I manually insert other numbers.) If that's the only judgment there'd be no reason for the plaintiff to try to enforce it!
