How long does a judgment lien last in Montana? A judgment lien in Montana will remain attached to the debtor's property (even if the property changes hands) for ten years.
A default judgment is a ruling granted by a court or judge.For example, when a defendant is summoned to appear before the court in a case brought by a plaintiff, but fails to respond to the court's legal order, the judge can rule for default judgment and thereby decide the case in the plaintiff's favor.
First, you can ask the court to set aside the default judgment and give you an opportunity to contest it. Next, you can settle the debt with the debt buyer for an amount less than what the default judgment is for. And finally you can eliminate the default judgment completely by filing for bankruptcy.
After you notify the defendant of the judgment, you can begin to enforce the judgment. Your judgment might be for money, repossession, eviction, foreclosure, or any number of things. In any case, your rights at this point would be the same as if you had gone to trial and won.
