Asked in Civil Litigation and Real Estate Law for Delaware

Q: Pennsylvania: HOA sued me after satisfying initial judgement.

I agreed to accept a judgement in municpal court. Judge confirmed no additional fees if satisfied by Sept. 30 days after judgement attorney added 4 more charged which I confirmed with the judge was not allowed. Judgement was satisfied as agreed as soon as I received my tax return in April. July attorney filed in civil court & when the document was recieved I missed the second page requiring a response (over 100 pages) in 20 days, Default judgement was granted. This was venue shopping and now I am afraid I will lose my home. They also cut off my ability to pay HOA fees online and mail is horrific, so I was driving an hour each way to pay it for a while.
