Q: What do I write in my request for transcript of pleading/documents
What’s happened is I got served from a creditor so I put in an an answer and denial, that my credit has reached the statute of limitations in Nebraska my last payment was may of 2018. I received and letter with a trial date for the month of April 2025 but the plaintiff still managed to get a judgement on there behalf. There was a court hearing on Dec. 12, 2024 that I was never made aware of but the plaintiff won judgment. Now Iam appealing the case
A:
There isn't a form for this, at least not one approved by the Courts. What you draft depends on the specifics of your case and what you are requesting.
Reviewing the Nebraska Court Rules of Appellate Practice may be a good place to start.

This is not all the rules that apply, but at least gives you some of the likely applicable rules in one place.
You should retain an attorney asap to assist you with your case. It sounds like you may have lost at the trial level for not understanding a court process or deadline and you are in danger of doing so again at the appellate level if you try to do this on your own. There are also often other options to challenge a judgment that are faster and cheaper than an appeal but you have to act quickly or those deadlines pass too.
