Damages in judgement in default
how do I fight damages in a judgement in default? I had a mobile home which was reposessed. The people who assumed the loan defaulted. Now the bank wants the entire amount of the original contract. How do I fight the damages in a judgement in default? What do I need to show the court?

Re: Damages in judgement in default
If the default judgment against you has already occurred, you could file a motion with the court to have it set aside or vacated, on whatever grounds might be applicable to this situation. (You should seek a consultation with an attorney who could further advise you as to what these particular grounds might be.)

You need to consult with a lawyer to go over your specific facts. There is no general rule.
