⚖️ Defending Against Default Judgments: What to Do If You’ve Been Sued by Lannister Law Corp Without Notice
A default judgment occurs when a debtor fails to respond to a lawsuit, often due to improper notification. Creditors automatically win the case in these situations.
What a Default Judgment Means for You
- Wage garnishment – The court allows the creditor to deduct money from your paycheck.
- Bank account levies – Creditors may freeze and withdraw money directly from your account.
- Property liens – Some judgments enable creditors to place a lien on your home.
How to Fight a Default Judgment
🔍 Check if you were properly served – If you never received court papers, you may have grounds to challenge the judgment.
📜 File a motion to vacate – If the judgment happened without your knowledge, you can ask the court to cancel it.
💰 Negotiate a settlement – If the judgment stands, negotiating a debt settlement may prevent harsh consequences.
⚖ Seek legal help – A debt defense attorney can help you fight the case or settle on better terms.
