Osc Form 14

If you do not think the default judgment was appropriately entered against you, you must file a motion with the court asking the judge to set aside (void or nullify) the judgment. If the judge grants your motion, the case starts back up again.

Typically, a court's rules governing enforcement of default judgments include procedures for wage garnishments, attachment of bank accounts and seizure of assets. The plaintiff can usually pursue more than one of these enforcement mechanisms simultaneously.

A garnishment judgment will stay on your credit reports for up to seven years, affecting your credit score.

Default judgments happen when you don't respond to a lawsuit often from a debt collector and a judge resolves the case without hearing your side.Next up could be wage garnishment or a bank account levy, which allows a creditor to remove money from your bank accounts to repay the debt.

Once a default is entered, the defendant is no longer able to file a response or otherwise participate in the case. When the default is entered, you may also ask the court to enter a judgment in your favor.

Wage garnishment is a legal procedure in which a person's earnings are required by court order to be withheld by an employer for the payment of a debt such as child support.

Unfortunately a garnishee order can only be stopped by bringing an application to court to have the order stopped, or, if the judgment creditor informs the employer or garnishee that he no longer needs to deduct money from your salary.

With these changes, a garnishment that is issued will expire in six (6) months, and then a new garnishment will have to be issued. The old law forced Creditors to file a new garnishment every month for each Debtor.

Renew the judgment Money judgments automatically expire (run out) after 10 years. To prevent this from happening, the creditor must file a request for renewal of the judgment with the court BEFORE the 10 years run out.
