However, they reply back to me but did not comply with the validation and also did not provide me a copy of the original signed loan agreement or credit card application. I also reply back to them with a letter stating that they have failed to send adequate documentation and proof, and have not complied with the violation of the FDCPA, section 809 (b).

The old judgement expired on March 10, 2013 but they went to the court on March 28, 2013 and got a default judgment against me on April 2nd 2013 .
•They did not notify me for court hearing .
•They failed to provide me validation within 30 days.
•And they renewed the judgment in court after the old judgment is expired.

I need your help how to vacate this default judgment, and lawyers are asking me so much money to do that. Please help me”

I am not a lawyer. You need to find a lawyer who is licensed in your state to assist you with that.

  1. I haven’t done anything. It just sits on my credit report as a judgment. I was making $25.00 a month payments but they never credited it to the account.
    I want it removed but don’t know how.
