If you get served papers and don't go to court and then get papers in the mail that the court awarded the plaintiff XXX what can you do?
Depending on the laws and/or the rules of the courts of the state, you may have no recourse but to pay the amount of the judgment. But, it might be possible that you could apply to the court to have the judgment vacated if you have good enough reason. This type of judgment is known as a default judgment and many courts are liberal in vacating such a judgment if there is some legitimate excuse. These reasons would be spelled out in the laws or court rules. If it is proved that you did receive the papers and knowingly chose to ignore them resulting in the default judgment, the court would probably deny your request to set the judgment aside. In addition, you might have forfeited your right to take an appeal of the decision. Appealing a decision is not the same as seeking to have it set aside.
