Notice to set aside judgment

[Djohnsonsd]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

I need to submit paperwork for a motion to set aside default judgment in a Superior Court civil case in Contra Costa County. I cannot find this form anywhere on their website. I can only find an example of this form in Santa Clara County. Can I manually copy this Santa Clara form, put contra costa county on it, and file it at the Contra Costa Court? Or does It have to look exactly the same with all the numbers on the sides and everything else? Or is it titled something different in Contra Costa County?

This is a default judgement for not paying a credit card and will possibly lead to filing for bankruptcy.

Thank you.

That's what I would do.

But first check this link to the Contra Costa Public Law Library:

Note the Default Judgment category.

"Possibly lead to filing for bankruptcy" as in "I do not have a meritorious defense to the judgment creditor's complaint"?

Bear in mind that if you do not have a meritorious defense (and your statement above: "judgment for not paying" strongly suggests that you don't have a meritorious defense) - by checking the little box that says you do will constitute the crime of perjury.

Think about it.
