I've been sue but I was not aware of it. I was sued in NY. I had moved to Louisiana before I got the summon papers. They left the papers taped at the door of the building I used to live and a neighbor found them, since they know me and my mom they gave her the papers and she mail them to me. It is the way I found out about it. I wrote to the Court explaining this, and they answer saying I needed to file an order to vacate judgment. BUT I am not in NY nor do I have to money to travel just to go to the court. I neither have the money to pay a lawyer to represent me. What are my options in this case? Since I think a default judgment was enter against me for not showing up to court, but how was I suppose to do so if I didn't know I had to?
