Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Vacating a judgement.

I would like to file a motion to vacate a judgement against me, that was orginaly entered in 1994, then renewal again in 2004. Would I have to have a very valid reason in order to vacate it? I dont remember if I was properly served or not, its been so long ago, and anything I received in the mail, I didnt really understand what it was about, and I made the mistake of not seeking legal advise, so I just wondered if I was have any type of case here, thanks

You have waited too long. You probably have no case now.

Unless there was a real problem underlying that could be found, not being served and other issues may, simply, not be enough.

We would have to review the court file and proof of service. It you can prove that you were not originally served, the judgment can possibly be set aside. Do you have a copy of the proof of service or court file?
