Re: Reversing a judgment
If you dispute the debt, the time to do that was when they filed the lawsuit against you and before the judgment was entered. If the judgment is big enough and/or you are poor enough, in most cases you could wipe-out the judgment in a bankruptcy. See a lawyer if you are considering bankruptcy.

Possibly. If you did not receive proper notice or the case was filed in the wrong court, you can petition the court to vacate the judgment.
