Q: I receive a praecipe to enter judgement what does that mean
I received a letter from an insurance company on monies owed stating they were filing a Praecipe to Enter Judgement. What does that mean? I do not work at this time, and i own a home with my husband. Can they force us to sell our home or sheriffs sale?
A: It means you will have a judgement. You must immediately file a paper to have the judgment reopened--apparently you didn't respond to something they sent. Contact your County Bar Association ASAP>
