I have been served with a judgment trying to collect money from me.
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Can you please tell me the location where this judgment was served? This will aid me in providing you with more accurate information.
Yes I was served over two weeks ago. I have called the lawyer multiple times no answer I have emailed them and my sheriffs office with no response. The letter says entry date */*/*. $*.*. I was never notified of any court date.
