Default Judgment Missouri Options

Summary

In Missouri, you can file a motion to set aside a default judgment within a reasonable time, usually not exceeding 1 year. You must demonstrate a meritorious defense and show excusable neglect for not responding initially. Garnishments generally continue until the debt is paid off, but if it stopped, it could be due to the debt being fully paid, incorrect processing by your employer or bank, or the creditor deciding to stop it. Consult a local attorney for proper guidance.
