How to fill-out a motion to vacate form? received a letter from a collection agency lawyer last week. April. 17th. 09'. stating that they have gotten a default judgment against me. from a 'bank of America' old credit card debt that was written off. i sent a letter of debt validation letter that was never answered or responded to. i was never properly served with a summons directly handed to me, so there is no proof of service. i need to know how to respond and properly fill out a "motion to vacate judgment form. can your forum help me with this. are there any sample letters out there.

In order to file a motion to vacate a judgment, you need to get the "Notice of Motion to Vacate Judgment" form, fill it up and deposit it with the court from where you have received the judgment. You may be required to pay a fee for filing the form. If it is a motion to vacate a default judgment, you need to mention the reason why you did not appear before the court. Moreover, if you have not received a summon, you need to mention that in the form itself.

Hi. There was a default judgment entered against me a few days before my hearing was scheduled. I never got to plead my case. I have the motion to vacate form, but it's for small claims. My case was in civil limited, and I was told I cant use the small claims forms. What can I do? I can't afford a lawyer or a paralegal to draw up the forms. Please help.

Hi Malko,

What you need to do is, go to the court where the judgment was filed and request the clerk there to provide you with the "order to show cause". You can then fill the form stating the reason for wanting to vacate the judgment. There are various sample letters of vacating a judgment available in various website.

Hi James,

Can you be clear on what exactly you need to know? Can you give more details on your situation?

Thanks,

Aaron

There was a default judgment rendered against me in RI 6th district small claims court. I did not show up because an agreement was reached before the court date and the plaintiffs’ attorney confirmed that it was resolved. The plaintiffs’ attorney then "forgot" to inform the court that the dispute had been resolved therefore the court entered a default judgment against me in the matter.

I just found out about this in November of 2010 when it suddenly appeared on my credit reports. I immediately contacted the plaintiff attorney whom filed an affidavit with the 6th districts clerk stating that the judgment was rendered in error and that payment had been provided before the court date.

The Credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union) refuse to remove the judgment from my credit report. The court clerk won't let me file a motion to vacate on grounds 60B because the 1 year time period to file has expired. I try to explain that I just found out, but it doesn't seem to matter. Clerk recommended that I dispute with CRA's and inform them of the affidavit of erroneous judgment that is on record. I have done so, but the CRA's still keep reaffirming the judgment which is tanking my credit and effecting my interest rates.

What can I do to resolve this? I am getting very frustrated by the total lack of intelligence and common sense in play here.

This is to inform you that we wish to vacate the premises and this may be treated as advance notice of 3months in prior as mentioned in our agreement.

Please arrange to refund the amount on or before our move and the Cause of vacating: is due to the rent hike is unacceptable for the premises more than what we are paying at present.

Terri-.......what's the judgement for? What kid of debt? Usually letters like that are sent 'certified mail'. Was it? Just trying to get a bit of background on your situation is all.

So tonight I came home from work and had a business card for a process server with his number and to call him. Well I knew what it was about and I had sent a check by mail on 9/30/16 for the full amount of the bill, but today I'm getting papers for judgement.. What r my rights? I was going to call the place in the morning to let them know I had sent payment 5 days ago, but will I need to file a removal of judgement?
