Re: law office obtained a judgment on me
If the judgment was vacated, it is likely that the case needed to be re-filed and for you to be re-served. You would have no obligation to answer interrogatories sent to you outside of an ongoing civil action, unless the judgment remains in effect. If there is a case pending or the judgment remains in effect, you need to answer the interrogatories and you should be filing your own "Request for Production of Documents" seeking copies of bills, invoices, and other proof of the existence of the debt.
It sounds as though the law firm currently handling the collection of the debt is unaware that the judgment was vacated. Send them a copy of the Order from the judge to set them straight.
