A: Your facts are not clear but it sounds like there is already a judgement against you and you think it was based on false information. However, if it has already gone to judgment then your opportunity to defend against the false claim has already passed. You should have presented your side of the story when you were first served with the complaint by filing an answer and appearing in the case with your evidence and witnesses.

If you weren’t properly served you might be able to have the judgement set aside. If you think that is possible then hire a civil litigation attorney to assist you.

A: First, I don't understand your question but second, if you're in Okla., you need to ask an Okla lawyer.

Good luck.
