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.

kind regards,

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 dperez
There are no sample letters to help you how to file a motion to vacate a judgment. You need to visit the court and collect the form from the clerk's office and fill it up. However you can visit the link and find a form required to be filled up in order to vacate a judgment. "http://dca.lacounty.gov/SCForms/Notice%20Of%20Motion%20To%20Vacate%20 Judgment%20And%20Declaration%20(Small%20Claims)%20%7BSC-135%7D.pdf"

Subject: Motion To Vacate, Civl Limited Case

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.
