Hello, again, Linda, and anyone else out there, I got my papers from my skinny file yesterday on the law firm that was handling the Chase VS Lynnette V... case. I was trying to find some loop hole. Don't think I found any. My father was served the original court summons, but remember I did sign a stipulation. The stip said if I was in default for more than 10 days (a letter would be sent to my home. I did receive it) that I would face a judgment against me without further notice. During this "default" period, I was in contact with the office and made payments.
Original default amount: $462.16 12/13/00
Payments: $220.72
2nd default amount: $262.12 1/24/01
Payment arrangement made: $100 3/8/01
Judgment filed 3/4/01
Judgment entered 3/14/01
called to make payment and denied 3/15/01
The firm just said that file was transferred and never told me why.
didn't know of judgment until applied for loan in May/June of 2001
On the papers the wording for judgment was:
"That the defendant is in default for a period of more than ten days." Also it said on the affirmation:
"That the defendant failed to make any payments to date pursuant to said Stipulation, except for payment in the amount of $1,067.56." I actually had $627.21 left to pay out of the original $1,694.77. So plus interest and costs I owe "1,135.52. Question: I don't know if I have any leg to stand on to file a motion to vacate being that I was in default of the total amount due at that moment, even though I did make payments, but would it help to send the firm a letter to make one last appeal to erase the judgment off my record?? Right now I have a letter where they will give me a satisfaction if I pay $920.00 within 15 days (never agreed to a time frame). I don't know what else to do.
Thanks for your help in all of this mess.
