You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If the judgment was entered, it was legal although it may not have been obtained properly. Service might have been made by publication which is a valid process of service. The only way that can be determined is for you to go to the courthouse and view the court file. If there is an irregularity, you can ask the court for a status conference and explain that to the judge.

Re: judgement

You have paid the judgment. The matter is now moot. Be sure you have and record a satisfaction of judgment.
