Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Colorado

I pulled my credit report and found a default judgement for over 9,000.00 on it dated feb. 2, 2012. I was never served, and knew nothing about it or the fact they were evening planning on suing me. It is for a loan I co-signed for, I did know the person whom I co-signed for had his truck repossessed, but didn't know they would sue me for it. They did not sue him. Do I have any recoarse? I know the judgement is over a year ago and they have not tried to enforce it, I found it while doing a routine check on my credit report.

Default judgment means that you failed to answer. If you were never served, that would be the reason that you failed to answer. You could move to dismiss for improper service. Then, the creditor will have to serve you properly. However, this is not my area. I do mostly criminal appeals to the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. This is a civil trial court matter. There may be other actions that you should take.
