What is the name of your state? Michigan
A default judgment has been issued against me here in Small Claims at a local District Court. I somehow missed the courts origanal summons and simply got judgement notification. I was unaware of any such debt at all and foolishly ignored the process. As manager at large service company we always had to provide a signed bill or some evidence of our claim. So, my thought at the time was how can this be.
The person involved cannot have any evidence of any kind of a transaction. The judgement was only for two hundred bucks and I was somewhat inclined to just pay and move on. I have made mistakes but could not recall any kind of a transaction with this person. However perhaps just gossip but the same person has done this to other people. So now its ticking me off. I am thinking after reviewing some other the other postings my time, may have run out. I wonder what the cost of a proffessional appeal might be.( ballpark )
I started a small service business two years ago and am just hitting a decent stride. I just can't find the time to fight back. Yes I have learned my lesson, I certainly pay better attention to the household mail. The question is how can make an appearance in small claims court without making an appearance. Heven forbid how can you ward off this kind of a claim without an appearance in court.
