Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts

Default Judgment

On March 28, 2002 I recieved a default judgment for $10,000 and on July 31, 2002 I recieved an Execution and a lien was placed on the defendant's home. On June 10, 2003 after one year the defendant filed a motion to vacate judgment and serve my copy on my old address, once I recieved my forwarded copy I filed a motion for reconsidersation because the defendant;s motion was allowed. My motion for reconsidersation was allowed. I since learn that less than two weeks, the defendant sold the property to avoid paying my judgment which was prevously in enforce. My question is what are my choices now! The house was sold for $66,500.00.

Re: Default Judgment

The default rule is useless.

Defaults are commonly arbitrarily removed.

Sounds like you might have been "took" but it is impossible to know that without seeing papers.
