Re: judgment

Thanks for your posting.

From what you've stated, it likely would be too late to avoid the judgment and reopen the case (if you had a default judgment against you). In August, 2003, I would see if the judgment was re-newed and bring motions then, which may help you. Your proof in the original case unfortunately is not terribly relevant, since you already have a proven judgment against you at this point.

Have you considered a bankruptcy? A bankruptcy might help you and get you relief from the judgment.

I hope this helps, but if you have other questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. I'm happy to help in any way that I can.
