Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New York

please help me

I am living in california for 3 years I used to live in new york 5 years ago.

I found that I have a judgment for $12000 from my credit report 2 days ago.

The judgement was place without my knowledge on new york civil court

I knew that plaintiff but I never receive bill or payment request from plaintiff in my life�

I am very panic now, I never receive anything from plaintiff or court in my life.

I do not know how to do. I never receive payment request from plaintiff , they just bring it to the court without asking me payment.

How can I do ? Do I have to go to the newyork? To remove my default judgement record? Please help me? Can I remove judgement record? I really want to remove it.

And I do not know why my judgment is $12000 (plaintiffs are lying). it is too much money..

I can not sleep now, how can I do ? is it possible If I can have a new trial in California.?

Please help me.

Re: please help me

Yu only get one shot at this, so listen up. You can file a motion in California court to quash the sister state judgment because it was the incorrect forum. But there are two rules. First, you have to have really never heard of the lawsuit or judgment until now. Second, you have to go to court for relief immediately, as soon as you hear about the judgment. The third rule is a practical one: You are going to need a lawyer to file this motion. Feel free to contact me. I will help you sleep better.
