Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

I will been sued for a deficiency judgement from the second lien holder of my second home (my primary home for 5 years) for not been able to pay in California. I got a letter saying if I dispute this charge? I want to answer the letter asking them to send me proof. But 2 moths ago, I change my name. Can this be an advantage or not? When I answer the letter do I sign with my old name or new name? Would I be braking any laws if I sign it with my old name? Also if they do get a judgement against me under my old name, what next? My drivers license number is the same (old name & new name) and social security knows about the change (Its not a secret). I want to use a tool that I could very well use.

Changing your name is not going to get you of the problem. You need to consult with an attorney to determine whether you have a defense to the junior lender's action against you.
