What is the name of your state? Virginia
Aloha. I live in Hawaii. I have a long story, but the bottom line is that there is a default judgment of about $600 against me in Virginia. It appears on my credit report and I am getting ready to buy a house, so I need it off. The situation with the plaintiff became quite adversarial and personal so I'm not too interested in paying the judgment.
There are several possible avenues I believe I could pursue to get this cleared up if I knew what I was doing. I'm not a lawyer, though, so I don't.
My latest thought is this: I sent the plaintiff some papers (not a payment, but she doesn't know that). I tried to reach to her two different ways, by using a service company and by certified mail, but she avoided the service and did not claim the mail. Can I use this to claim that I am unable to pay the plaintiff because I cannot reach her despite my best efforts to do so?
