Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia
Being Sued-Judgement passed
I live in Georgia. I received papers recently that judgement was passed gainst us in wisconsin.
I had a wedding in wisconsin and the bestmant was a college mate of ours. He agreed to be the bestman and within days he said that he did not have any money to pay for his suit. I agreed to pay and since I did not a last minute replacemnt. When I went to pay for the suit they said that the suit was already paid for.
anyway judgemet passed we did not know that he was suing us. We receided nothing before judgement papers. Only a document a couple weeks ago saying that judgemnt was passed in favor of defendant.
now we receive a letter saying that judgement passed against us.
Can you sue someone for money without the person ever being served papers? by the way did I mention that we live in Georgia?
The wedding took place in wisconsin and he lives in wisconsin.

Re: Being Sued-Judgement passed
You are asking for a guess about what happened, which won't help you. Contact the clerk of court to get the documents about who was served, and where, or get a lawyer to do it.
