What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin.
My wife cosigned for my daughter to rent a appartment. My daughter moved out and the landlord sued my wife and daughter for unpaid rent and damages. The date and time were set for the trial. My wife and daughter had the letter with the time to arrive. The time was changed at some point and both were 1/2 hour late and a judgement was set for the plaintiff....My wife and daughter filled the necessary papers to reopen the case. Can this be done? I know this was extremely important to be there. They both just screwed up. What will happen here. Do they have a chance to reopen or are they just SCREWED.
Thank you for the help.
