If there is a judgment or lien on your credit report and that judgment has been satisfied, you must contact the credit reporting agency in writing and include copies of the documents that support your position, for example, a copy of the signed warrant to satisfy judgment.
A default judgment is a court decision in favor of the plaintiff (or petitioner) that happens because the defendant (or respondent) does not answer or go to a court hearing that they were told about. (If you want to set aside a default judgment for eviction, see Setting Aside a Default Eviction Judgment.)
In Texas, a motion for default judgment is a request made by a plaintiff when the defendant fails to respond to a civil complaint within the required time. If the defendant does not file a timely answer, the court may grant a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
If the defendant is properly served, but fails to appear at the hearing and has not filed an answer, the plaintiff may be awarded a default judgment as long as the petition contains all required information and proof of service has been correctly filed with the court.
Abstract of Judgment: If the defendant owns real property (land), you can get an abstract of judgment from the court that issued the judgment and file it with the county clerk in the county or counties where the defendant owns the property.
Traditional and no-evidence are the two types of summary judgment motions. Requesting no-evidence summary judgment means telling the judge that no evidence can support any of your opponent's arguments.
