What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio Hi everyone i am writing on here to hopefully get some advise because i have never been to court before and don't know much about what to do . I will try to explain everything that is going on the best i can. OK so i was staying at a house with only one month left on my lease and had to leave. A month prior to this she was trying to sell me the house for cheap like 18,000 because the house wasn't really great. Anyways i come to find out from my work that she took me to court for the max 3000 in small claims court and got a default judgment against me because my mom had signed papers serving me because i was letting her stay with me at the time . When i talked to her about it she said she didn't sign anything. Now i am paying 3000 which is almost a 4th of what she was trying to sell me the house for. also i will have this garnishment on my credit for 7 years . I have tried to file a motion to vacate judgment and it got denied everyone i have talk to about this Legal aid and the judge said something doesn't seem right but cant give me any help said i need to higher a lawyer in order to do anything . I guess my question is is there any thing i can do to get the judgement off of me i have paid 2000 already i don't care about the money even tho i feel like she is not entitled to it i'm more concerned with the judgment on my credit report is there anything i can do ? any advise is greatly appreciated
