Q: How do I ask the courts to remove a default judgement from 2006 in which the SOL has expired and it's not been revived?
The judgement is from a car accident where I hit a rental with no insurance. I didnt go to court so I got a default judgement. I have no idea what I owe and my drivers license has since been suspended. So this in return has cost me a lot of legal trouble. I'm supposed to be paying an attorney of which will not return my phone calls. I have no money to pay him. And I just feel like I am never going to live this down it's a nightmare.
A:
First, if your attorney won’t return your calls hire a different one, assuming you can pay.
Second, I’m not sure what you mean by “remove” the default judgment. If you seek to have it removed from appearing on Casenet, that is not likely to happen. If it was a default judgment but service of process was improper then you could pay an attorney to file a motion for relief from void judgment.
