Your Rights and Default Judgments

Fighting a Default Judgment?

Whether you knew it was coming or it took you by surprise, a legal default judgment can ravage your finances and your credit. Perhaps your wages are being garnished or your bank account is frozen. Maybe you took a look at your credit report and saw that your FICO score is in the gutter. It could be that you were flat-out denied when you went to apply for a loan, to lease an apartment, or to interview for a job. However you learned about it, a judgment by default can have a devastating impact on your life.
