I just found out that I have a judgment against me. I did not know that I was being sued. What do I do?

If you believe that you do not owe all or part of the judgment, contact the court that issued the judgment. To ask the Judge to put your case back on the court’s calendar so you can challenge the judgment, use one of the following options:

• Tenant Vacate Default Judgment Program or 
• Vacate Default Judgment in a Consumer Debt Case.

These programs help you prepare an Order to Show Cause. This is the document you use to ask the Judge to review your judgment.

If you believe that you owe the amount of the judgment, contact the plaintiff’s attorney to make a plan to pay the judgment in a way that works for you.
